The report indicates that former senior vice president of iOS at Apple Scott Forstall revealed the 9:41 time consistently displayed on Apple devices is intentional.
報告指出，前蘋果iOS高級副總裁Scott Forstall透露，蘋果設備上持續顯示的9:41時間是有意爲之的。
Forstall reportedly explained that Apple always plans to reveal new products around 40 minutes into a presentation. The tradition of setting the time to 9:41 a.m. dates back to co-founder Steve Jobs who planned to unveil the iPhone at exactly 9:41 a.m. in 2007 after rehearsing for the presentation several times.
據報道，Forstall據稱解釋說，蘋果總是計劃在演示大約40分鐘後展示新產品。將時間設定爲上午9:41的傳統可以追溯到聯合創始人史蒂夫·喬布斯，他在2007年在多次排練演示後計劃在上午9:41準時揭示iPhone。
"Our estimates were quite accurate ... And thus, the time became a subtle yet consistent part of our product unveilings," Forstall said.
"我們的估計相當準確...因此，時間成爲了產品發佈的微妙但一致的一部分，" Forstall說。
Jobs was the master of unveiling Apple products. Everything he did and said was carefully crafted and planned out. He wanted to sell the world on a product before the world knew what he was selling and he perfected his pitches with practice.
喬布斯是揭示蘋果產品的大師。他所做和說的每一個細節都經過精心製作和計劃。他希望在世人知道他在賣出什麼之前就能讓世界相信自己的產品，並通過練習完善他的推銷技巧。
A month before a product launch, Jobs would start rehearsing with portions of his slide deck at various venues at Apple. Even when he reached the point where he had a presentation down, he wouldn't stop practicing. Jobs relentlessly focused on improving the tone of his voice, his stance and his gestures, according to an excerpt from Ken Kocienda's "Creative Selection."
在產品發佈前一個月，喬布斯會在蘋果各個場所開始排練他幻燈片中的部分內容。即使在他能夠熟練呈現演示的時候，他也不會停止練習。根據Ken Kocienda的《創意選擇》節選，喬布斯不懈地專注於改進自己聲音的調音，姿勢和手勢。
