How do you capitalize a proper noun such as “iPhone”?

Many products these days have names that intentionally begin with lowercase letters. The most common examples are of the Apple "iDevice" variety, but there are some others - inSSIDer is one.

When beginning a sentence with these names, should the name be capitalized?


Solution 1:

Even if a company considers non-standard formatting of a trademark "official", style guides usually suggest that the formatting be ignored. But, trademarks beginning with a one-letter lowercase prefix pronounced as a separate letter do not need to be capitalized if the second letter is capitalized. Ultimately, the Wikipedia Manual of Style suggests rephrasing to avoid beginning sentences with such trademarks.
