Apple wants to trademark an image of an apple in Switzerland, and this could force a 111-year-old fruit company to change its logo.

Apple wants to claim depictions of actual apples.

It’s fine that you disagree, but can you at least try to not be condescending.

this isn’t some opinion over which there is a “disagreement”. it’s a matter of fact, and what was said was false. when someone makes a statement so ridiculously false, I cannot help but to laugh. Lies do not deserve respect.

what I find curious is that you would criticize me for calling out the falsehood rather than the person making it.

I did not criticize you for calling something out. I criticized you going after the person by being condescending, it’s bad form in a discussion. Similar to pointing out spelling mistakes.

I don’t think the commenter meant that Apple was literally committing an actual crime backed by a law lol

Honestly, reading this person’s replies is repulsive. What a total jerk. Imagine suffering through a social event like a dinner party with someone like that. Condescending is an understatement.

This seems like a big ask in this case :/
