So how do you do type the Apple character out with nothing but your Mac keyboard? You’ll need to hit a keyboard combination sequence to write it out, it’s easy to remember too.

The  logo renders as visible on any Mac with OS X, or any iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch with iOS too.

The logo will not display properly to a Windows user and unsupported operating systems or browsers may render the logo as a simple square, so don’t be surprised if it looks like something totally different on another computer or smartphone. Nonetheless, on a Mac you will see the Apple logo in all it’s glory.
