I'm curious why Apple (the mac maker) is called Apple

Yea i'm bored right now at work, well i have work but taking a break. Then I was reading forums and some guy had an actual apple with the apple logo and i thought to myself, why did the founders named it Apple, not Orange or Lemon.

Anyone know? I couldn't find anything on WIKI either

I don't know why, actually you asked a good question. I am also searching for the answer.

 

The answer is in my post

 

Coz when the company was founded , the founder want to have an easy and popular name which is easy to remember.

 

ur question is nice but i have no reply now. i will findout answer.

 

steave jobs asked him team members to find a good name for his company but they were unable to do so, ultimately he name it after apple the fruit he loves the most.

no serious mysteries behind it
