In popular culture, an apple is often used to represent the fruit that Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge when tempted by the devil, as found in Genesis 3 in the Bible ? although the exact type of fruit is not mentioned in Scripture.<br />
Still, conservative Christians in Russia have insisted that the logo should be removed and replaced with a cross, <a href="http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/other/display/20121004032052_Russian_Orthodox_Christians_Swap_Apple_Logo_with_Crosses.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Xbitlabs.com</a>?reported from a translated article from Interfax news agency.<br />
