Who bit the Apple? -iPhone-

56  2017-09-24 by NinjasWithGratitude

On a boring night at work I was surfing Youtube, one of the most convenient ways to kill time. I stumbled across a video of a guy asking Siri some bizarre questions to see her responses and began to ask her questions about Apple. When he asked Siri who bit the apple, it prompted me with a crazy theory. I was wondering why Steve Jobs chose the name “apple” and why the logo had a bite taken out of it; then it reminded me of two familiar stories.

The first story of when Eve listened to the deceiving snake and bit into the apple from the forbidden tree of knowledge (Adam & Eve.) That story is self-explanatory.

Interesting enough it also reminded me the story of Snow White and the 7 dwarves. Remember how when she bit into the apple it caused her to fall into a deep coma? My relation to that was a spitball of an idea but compelling nonetheless.

Technology in general is societies biggest distraction in life, more specifically our phones. We refer to those who are aware of corruption and what-have-you as being “awake” and for those who are unaware to be the opposite, asleep. We coined a more fitting title for them: sheep, zombies, etc. So as we eat into this awesome technology and thrive on social media and apps…perhaps Apple’s true intentions are to keep us distracted and well, asleep, eh?

Okay, it may be a little farfetched but I thought it was somewhat interesting.

Great thought I never really thought into the symbolism of the logo in that context.

Out of the blackness and into the dawn.

Heh, that's a new one. I always thought of the alleged story of Newton's falling apple.

Yeah, their first logo was of Issac Newton sitting under a tree. They changed it to emulate other 'symbol' logos like Nike

Apple Newton

I've always thought it was the apple from the story of Adam and Eve. Especially when you consider their slogan in earlier days "Think Different".

Well, but biting the "apple" got the whole humanity thing going.... before that it was just boring paradise stuff.

There is certainly an argument to be made that the eating of the fruits of the Tree of Knowledge was as much a blessing as it was a curse. I quite like Jordan Peterson's way of looking at it.

Well, if the apple is missing a bite, from whom is the bite?

These phones are compiling character profiles on everyone that uses them plus info gathered from your likes, posts and whatever front the apps we all use. We need to be predictable so they know what they're up against when the hammer comes down.

More like psychological profiles to better target ads at you.

Don't forget that the Beatles also founded Apple Corp in 1968. (a pun on apple core)

the apple 1's retail price was $666.66

This is real? :O

yes.

Yes, Steve Waz, loved repeating numbers.

There was a reason Steve Jobs didn't let his kids use any Apple products.

1  crosseyed_rednik 2017-09-24

Not true. He only limited and monitored screen time.

1  Katayani108 2017-09-24

But he waited until they were teenagers I believe.

Interesting thought

iPhone was not even a paper idea when the Apple name was created. Anyways; https://www.brandingstrategyinsider.com/2011/11/how-did-apple-computer-get-its-brand-name.html could be lies, but seems like it would be true

I've had this thought about being the sign of "the mark of the beast" as in the beast in eden being the snake and it introduced (apparently an apple tho it never mentions what type of fruit). then you have the same symbolism on something that is "over peoples foreheads" (as they nose-phone) or on their hands (as they text etc.) seems kinda odd to me that the bible mentions hands and foreheads and the mark of the beast and then you have the forbidden fruit being biten out of by a tech company that is one of the biggest perpetrators of mass surveillance outside the US govertards

I always thought the bit Apple was a tribute from Allen turning. Who initially invented the computer back during WW2. He was British and gay. It was a crime to be gay then so he went through hormonal treatment that fucked his mind. He committed suicide by eating a apple that was soaked in cyanide

1  oversettDenee 2017-09-24

I never knew this fact. Holy crap it's true.

1  drgaz 2017-09-24

I don't know if that's the official reason but that's what I thought as well.

1  top_huntress 2017-09-24

It's not true but I like it better.

Did you know? Alan Turing died after biting into an apple laced with cyanide. One theory is that the British secret service that killed him.

Anyway, I think that's even the official explanation for Apple's logo.

1  DrDuplicitous 2017-09-24

The bitten apple is a symbol of Eve's rebellion against God, which is a prominent feature of masonic philosophy. Job must have been some kind of freemason, thus is selection of this symbol for his company logo.

that is atrocious reasoning

1  DrDuplicitous 2017-09-24

The masons view God as the bad guy in this narrative. They claim that God was withholding knowledge from Eve, therefore her rebellion and eating of the apple was justified.

Knowledge without wisdom is a dangerous thing.

Social media, TV, internet, gaming, any other electronics... that is their purpose... to block your mind from actually creating and being creative....

This is real? :O
