Did you know you can type the Apple logo? It’s a neat trick, but there’s a catch – only Apple users can view it. Here’s how it works.
The Apple logo isn’t included on standard keyboards for iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
However, you can still type it with a simple workaround using text shortcuts. You’ll need to follow different steps on Mac, and the same steps for iPhone and iPad.
While it may not be a revolutionary feature, it’s a fun way to surprise your fellow Apple enthusiasts. Plus, it adds to the list of cool things Apple devices can do.
It’s Exclusive to Apple Users
Only people using Apple products will be able to see the logo. If someone using another platform tries, it won’t show up for them. But that just makes it more special for Apple fans!
