Douglas Adams was a huge Apple proponent.. Also, a signifigant part of the plot from "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" centered around the answer to the meaning of life. A massive computer had been built to calculate the meaning of life.. after working on the problem for eons, it came up with the number 42, as the answer..

iPhone release date: 6/29/07

6 + 29 + 7 = 42

From Wikipedia:

"Adams was a Macintosh user from the time they first came out in 1984 until his death in 2001. He was the second person to buy a Mac in the UK (the first being Stephen Fry - though some accounts differ on this, saying Adams bought the first two, and Fry bought the third). Adams was also an "Apple Master," one of several celebrities whom Apple made into spokespeople for its products (other Apple Masters included John Cleese and Gregory Hines)."
