When you name a variable "apple" it will directly inform apple and you get a warning for violating their brand.
If it isn't, could you provide a source?
What is not sarcasm, that I once lived in a region in germany where apples are grown. The local government had a project where they created some hiking trails. They wanted to call one of those "Apfelweg" (apple street or s.th. in englisch), because you know, there are apple trees everywhere. They had been sued by apple and had to rename it. Real.
