What does the "i" stand for in iOS, iMac, iPad, iPhone, iMessage etc? "Internet"?
It dosnt stand for anything. IOS stands for "I operating system". Its kind of like a brand. Like nike, it doesn't stand for anything But it represents a company.
Internet.
It stands for "Internet".

"Ken says that the "i" stands for "Internet",[6] but also represents the product as a personal and revolutionary device ('i' for "individuality" and "innovation")."
Originally, internet as in the iMac in 1998, but by the time the iPod debuted in 2001 it basically became so well known & associated with Apple products that it became branding. Of course it could not have meant internet for the iPod since it had none until 2007 when the iPod touch debuted.
So to repeat, in 1998 with the iMac, internet. Everything else, just brand recognition.
It doesn't stand for anything. It just makes it easier to trademark the names. You can't trademark a common noun like "phone" in most cases, but if you put a letter in front of it, it becomes something special that you can register as a trademark.
