Why is the Apple logo an apple with a bite taken out of it?

There are three theories about the bitten apple:

Theory 1: Apple is a symbol of wisdom in ancient Greek mythology. It was after Adam and Eve ate apples that they became thoughtful. Apple's logo is an apple taking a bite, which shows their ambition to innovate, march into science, and explore unknown areas.

Statement 2: In memory of Alan Matheson Turing, known as the father of computers and artificial intelligence. This great pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence died from eating an apple contaminated with potassium cyanide. The 2001 British movie ENIGMA fictionalized the plot about the relationship between Turing's suicide and the Apple logo, which was recognized and widely praised by a considerable number of people and Turing.

Myth 3: Because the English word "bite" has the same pronunciation as the computer's basic unit of calculation, byte, hence the term "bitten apple".

Foreign media interviewed Rob Janoff, the designer of the logo. He said that he was sorry to destroy those beautiful legends about the Apple logo designer. The facts are far simpler than the legends. It's just that I like it. If I really have to explain it, I think I originally designed the bite to make the logo look like an apple, not a cherry.
