Why Are All Apple Products Photographed at 9:41 A.m.? (inc.com)

Not sure if its actually a stoner call-out, but often android products from a number of brands use "4:20" as their goto. I wonder if it's not marijuana related at all and infact has a similar sort of backstory?

Site has auto-playing audio if you scroll to the end of the article.

This looks to me like the author just stumbled upon this design pattern and felt compelled to write about it. It has been covered multiple times on HN and elsewhere.

What I do find ironic is how popular 9:41 has gotten amongst other product brands. And I am sure it's not for the reasons Apple is doing it.

I've noticed in some past ad's the clocks are set to 4:20.

Programmers hard at work there. :-)

~10:10 is because it's a happy face, as the story goes.
