Imagine being in a room with Steve Jobs—yes, the Steve Jobs—trying to convince him that “iMac” was, in fact, the name of the future. Talk about pressure! It’s like trying to persuade a Taurus that they’re not stubborn! In this wild tale, we dive into the naming saga of one of technology’s biggest icons, weighed down by imagination and a not-so-happy Steve. When Jobs had his sights on perfection, even a mildly liked name wasn’t enough—cue the cosmic drama. With a week to go and the clock ticking, Segall’s journey to win over Jobs is a rollercoaster ride that starts with a slew of rejected names and culminates in a last-minute revelation that changed history! Ready to find out how a simple name became legendary? Let’s unravel this captivating saga! LEARN MORE.

Segall said that a week later, they met with Jobs and presented him with five names, saving iMac for last because he thought “it was the killer name.” However, Jobs hated the name iMac, too.

A week later, Segall presented Jobs with three more names and also brought up that he still liked iMac as a name. Jobs hated the three new names, but said about iMac, “I don’t hate it this week, but I don’t like it either, so now you’ve got two days.” Segall said that the next day, a friend at Apple called him to tell him Jobs had used iMac on one of the models and that it was getting good reactions. The rest was history.
