The update, that isn't in the title: It may actually be the logo. The logo has the leaf in exactly the same place, and the h is similar to the missing bite of the apple. The h being there looks fairly ugly, it does seem intentional to me.
Does that really looks like Apple logo... ofcourse not!!! I feel this is ridiculous. In future we won't be able teach our children "A" for "Apple" because of this trademarks and patents
I don't think intentional really matters, I just said it because of the feelings around Apple. That logo should be illegal, but it shouldn't be used because it's too obvious.
Reminded me that Apple had a trademark suit against Woolworths (Woolies) in Australia a few years ago for using a 'fresh fruit' logo that looked a bit like an Apple.
My takeaway from this is that trademark lawyers do their thing because they have to be seen to be protecting their trademarks, and I'm patently sick of the whole Apple legal patent/copyright stories that I'm just going to filter them from now on.

That's really stretching it though, since the logo in question looks more like an orange than an apple.
A shiny green orange?
I think it's supposed to be an abstract fruit, nothing specific. It isn't really apple-shaped, just perfect circle.
And green color is commonly associated with being fresh.

Lawyers be being lawyers.
Yes, there are green oranges! Just do a Google search. They're quite tasty.
Added to my list of things to try before I die. I would, however, suggest they should be called 'greens' ;]
Another point of trivia: the color "orange" is actually named after the (non-green variety of the) fruit, not the other way around :)
Apples aren't spheres, so they don't match either.
