Why is the Apple logo a bitten apple? Fruit, science and World War II
Everyone has the already iconic Apple symbol in their head, but Almost no one knows the story behind one of the most famous logos for decades.. Although it had an original meaning, the rumors and theories of users, as well as the social values of the brand, They have been adding connotations and possible interpretations of the apple icon.
The logical principle of ‘Occam’s razor’ states that “the simplest explanation is usually the correct one”, but this is not always the case, and even less so when it comes to the collective imagination. Apple founders Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne may have loved apples, To distinguish themselves from a fruit brand, they included the distinctive bite.
Of course, the explanation goes much further. This group of technology-fanatic friends began assembling parts in a family garage in the mid-70s. They were great admirers of the scientist Isaac NewtonThere is a belief that Newton discovered the Law of Gravity when He was taking a nap under the shade of a tree and an apple hit his head.
Although it is a very beautiful story, it is most likely believed to be a myth.. This physicist and mathematician from the United Kingdom loved apples, so he used them as an example to explain why objects are naturally attracted to the ground. The rest is pure decoration, but it gives it some charm and facilitates the understanding of such a complex concept of classical mechanics.
This idea of simplicity captivated Jobs and the other founders, who, just as they did with the invention of the personal computer or PC (Personal Computer), They decided that the image that represented them should be simple and easy to identify. Today, it is taught in advertising faculties as One of the greatest successes in branding modern.
The other big theory behind Apple
And the characteristic bite is not there just for the sake of distinction, there is a hypothesis that includes another of the most important scientists in the history of humanity that also revolves around this fruit.This is the one who is considered by many to be the father of modern computing, the London physicist Alan Turing..
This scientist was One of the key figures in the defeat of the Nazis during World War II, he invented a device capable of deciphering encrypted ‘Enigma’ messages.a rotor machine used by the German side to encode messages. Thanks to Turing, it is estimated that 16 million human lives were saved.
Despite having been one of the key people in the victory of the Allied side, He was discriminated against for being homosexualsomething that at the time was considered a mental illness. In 1952, Turing was charged with “gross misconduct and sexual perversion” and sentenced to one year in prison.To avoid being behind bars, the mathematical genius underwent a chemical castration that clouded his mind and caused him to become obese.

After spending a few years being socially marginalizedTuring’s lifeless body was found in his laboratory, next to an apple covered in cyanide.There are hypotheses that it was a suicide, and others that suggest that it was the British service that killed the mathematician, both for his sexual orientation and for his knowledge of cryptanalysis.
