There is a bitten apple on all the products designed by Steve Jobs, and this logo may be related to a tragedy in history. There are other versions of the mystery of this logo.
The logo on the back of an Apple phone or computer is to commemorate Alan Turin, a pioneer in artificial intelligence technology who laid the foundation for modern computer technology. On June 7, 1954, 10 years and one day after the success of the Normandy landing with the help of Turin's cryptography technology, Turin, who was suffering mentally and physically from being injected with hormones to treat homosexuality, took a bite of cyanide-stained food. Death after apple.
When two Stanford entrepreneurs were looking for a logo for their new computer company, they were reminded of Turin and his contributions to the field. As a result, they chose the apple that had been bitten. In 2005, an Apple employee confirmed the authenticity of the story, but Apple officials have not acknowledged it.
Some people speculate that this logo is related to the story of Adam and Eve, and some people say that it may come from the apple that hit Isaac Newton. But the evidence now points in a drab direction. In a 2009 interview, Apple logo designer Rob Yanoff denied that the logo was related to Newton or the Bible story. But he also said that while he was happy to be associated with Tulin's story, he didn't have that in mind when designing the logo.
"I'm afraid there is no connection to this story," Yanov said. "This is a wonderful urban legend." Yanov said that he did not obtain any special information from Jobs, although he I don’t remember how I completed my first sketch of the Apple logo, but the design reason for the bite is clear: it was to make a small Apple logo look more like an apple than a cherry.
Not long before Yanov discovered this design coincidence, a colleague told him that "byte", which sounds the same as "bite" in English, is the cornerstone of information technology. Jobs had the chance to clear up rumors about Apple's logo design in the past, however, he decided not to do so. He valued the value of a beautiful story more.
