It seems Steve Jobs didn't like the name Siri. So says Dag Kittlous, who co-founded the Norwegian company that invented Siri, which Apple bought for $200m in April 2010.
The Voice Assistant is the flagship feature of the iPhone 4S, but Kittlous says Jobs wanted to change the name, even though it means "beautiful woman who leads you to victory" in Norwegian.
But the then-Apple CEO couldn't come up with anything better, so it stuck.
