Well I'm pretty sure that is the symbolism they were using, and either implying it gives your freedom or knowledge, I assume the former. It's a pretty good symbol if you agree that eating the theoretical apple is actually a good thing.

    That's a cool way to look at it! I got curious so I looked it up, and I found an interview with the guy who designed the logo, and he said it's a myth.

    Of course, I'll add that there might be more to the story than that. IIRC the name was chosen before the logo, so this doesn't rule out that the name itself was a reference to the bible story. Also, if it was, I kinda doubt that Apple would openly confirm it now, knowing it could cause them to lose some of their customers. 🤷
