Who is jane appleseed

To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question. Why does Apple uses name " Jane Appleseed " everywhere? Is it just like that or it has some sort of significance? Posted on Sep 20, AM. Sep 20, AM in response to lafs26 In response to lafs Just a take-off on Johnny Appleseed Sep 20, AM. Page content loaded. I know about Johnny Appleseed but I am not sure whether the name refers to same person so wanted to confirm.

Thanks a lot. Feb 23, PM in response to lafs26 In response to lafs Apple actually uses John Appleseed in their demos. Even today. The legend is not related to Johnny Appleseed the missionary and pioneer at all. He worked on projects related to the Apple II in 's. At first, Appleseed was delighted. He got sneak peeks of new products.

Jobs asked his opinion on pre-production hardware. Appleseed was one of the first to see the iPod, and the iPhone, and the iPad, Jobs convinced that Appleseed would stay silent - something that worried other Apple executives.

Appleseed was like that. Appleseed wasn't just Steve Jobs' court jester, though. He became part of the marketing team - albeit without anybody telling him. Apple marketing materials don't just appear overnight: they're carefully planned and designed far in advance, and that means the marketing team needs photography and screenshots in advance, too.

As far as Jobs was concerned, the fewer people who actually knew about unannounced products, the better - so why not get your real-world examples from someone that you already know and trust? The first that Appleseed knew of his new role was at Macworld '07, when Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone.

He'd just assumed it would be okay. Current page: Page 2. North America. Page 2 of 3: Page 2 Page 1 Page 2 Page 3. Thinking different.
