Have you ever thought that why sky is blue ?
Left it here, we're asking a new Question : Why Apple Clocks are Always Set To 9:41 ?
I hope, you all are curious to know. Well, a post on The Atlantic find out why it is. The Atlantic spills beans on that.


Actually for that we have to go a long way back in January, 2007 launching event of iPhone in Macworld conference in San Fransisco, where Apple CEO, Steve Jobs steps on stage at 9:00 am. After a presentation about iPhone when he announce : "Today, Apple is going to reinvent the iPhone" and there on the screen iPhone flashes and it was 9:42am.

Till then Apple is continuing it, and in 2010 when the iPad was launched, its clock time was 9:41am so now all the latest iPhone is following  their ancestors.
In post at The Atlantic, former iPhone Executive Scott Forestall explained,
"We design the product launch keynotes so that the big reveal of the product happens around 40 minutes into the presentation. When the big image of the product appears on screen, we want the time shown to be close to the actual time on the audience’s watches. But we know we won’t hit 40 minutes exactly. And for the iPhone, we made it 42 minutes. It turned out we were pretty accurate with that estimate, so for the iPad, we made it 41 minutes. And there you are—the secret of the magic time."
 That's it.
Do think... Why Sky is Blue ?
