Look what the iPhone's inspired now

Fuelled by the success of the iPod, iPhone and iPad, firms of every stripe have followed Apple's lead and added an "i" to the names of the unlikeliest products.

iTwist: KFC is selling crispy chicken breasts in tortilla wraps for £1.49 in "sunny" and "sweet" flavours.

iTrim Stubble+: BaByliss claims its £50 battery razor is the "ultimate stubble product" – it has 30 settings ranging from "shadow" to "rugged".

iBrush: This $30 roller brush for people with flyaway, static-prone hair provides "natural ion therapy with every stroke". It's part of manufacturer Bio Ionic's iTools range, which includes blowers and irons called iDry, iSmooth and iCurl.

iCandy: This British manufacturer has been in business since the 1930s, but its stroller range has a newish ring. All the buggies are named after fruit – cherry, apple, pear and peach.

i360: Architects Marks Barfield, creators of the London Eye, proposed a 150m observation tower for Brighton's seafront in 2006, but it has been beset by delays.
