Apple

Why is Apple called Apple? Well, the answers to this mysterious question were revealed in Steve Jobs' biography, as Steve Jobs was the original creator of the name Apple for his company. Many believe that the term Apple comes from the forbidden fruit that is so wonderful when you finally get ahold of it. According the the website that I researched, it was simply called Apple because of Jobs' past of working in the apple orchards. After having that experience, he believed that apples were, "fun, spirited, and not intimidating". Which perfectly matches the description of the computer that Jobs was originally intending to create for society. The first logo for the company was a very intensely drawn picture of Newton sitting under a detailed tree with an apple shining above his head on the branches. It was later simplified to the bitten apple that we see today in order to further elaborate the simplicity of the usage of the computer. Most websites that I looked at also say a similar story of why Apple of was called Apple, but they further expand the story into saying that at the time Jobs picked the name, he was  on an all fruit diet, and said if no one came up with a better name, he would call it Apple. I assume no one came up with a better name.
