Why 9:41 AM is always the time displayed on iPhones and iPads
HTC used to have an iconic clock on their Android handset, for which they always used 10:08 in marketing materials.This probably stems from a tradition in advertisements for analog watches. They are usually set to some time between 10:08 and 10:10. Not only is this setting symmetric and therefore pleasing to the eye, but also any printed brand name is clearly visible and unobstructed.
