What does the logo on the back of an Apple phone mean?

The meaning of the Apple logo picture is an apple bitten by God, and Apple's philosophy is that only imperfection can promote progress and pursue perfection

Apple Computer Company Using the bitten apple as its trademark is to commemorate Alan Turing, the great pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence.

Alan Turing, a British mathematician and logician, is known as the father of computer science and the father of artificial intelligence.

In 1931, Turing entered King's College, Cambridge University. After graduation, he went to Princeton University in the United States to study for a doctorate. After the outbreak of World War II, he returned to Cambridge. He later assisted the military in cracking Germany's famous encryption system Enigma and helped the Allied Forces. Won victory in World War II.

While at Cambridge University, he had a close relationship with two famous gay men in the future, the economist John Maynard Keynes and the novelist E.M. Forster.

In 1951, Turing was elected as a member of the Royal Society for his outstanding contributions. Just when his career was entering its glory days, disaster struck.

In 1952, Turing was arrested by the police because he was a homosexual. Like some other highly intelligent figures, Turing was also "different" in his personal lifestyle. At that time, people were not as tolerant of homosexuality as they are now, but regarded this behavior as a sin against morals.

What happened was that a girl named Joan Clarke fell in love with Turing. Turing also liked her very much and proposed to her, and Joan happily accepted it. . But soon; Turing himself backed down, telling Joan that he was gay.

On March 31, 1952, Turing was arrested by the police for having an affair with a local young man in Manchester. In court, Turing neither denied nor defended himself. In the solemn court, he solemnly told people that his behavior was not wrong, and he was found guilty. Between imprisonment and treatment, Turing chose to inject hormones to treat the so-called "paraphilia", that is, injecting "female hormones." After that, Turing began to study biology and chemistry, and had a deep relationship with a psychiatrist.

On June 8, 1954, Turing was 42 years old and entering the most glorious creative peak of his life. One morning, the housekeeper walked into his bedroom and found that the lamp was still on and there was an apple on the bedside, with only a small part bitten. Turing was sleeping on the bed, and everything was as usual. But this time, did Turing fall asleep forever and never wake up again? After autopsy, the forensic doctor concluded that the death was caused by highly toxic cyanide. The apple was soaked in a cyanide solution.

Turing's mother said that he accidentally got it while doing chemical experiments. Her "Alan" had the habit of biting his nails since he was a child. But the outside world said that he committed suicide by taking poison, and this is how a generation of genius ended his life.

Later, Jobs, a fan of Turing, named the company Apple and used a bitten apple as its logo.
