Nope, this image hasn’t been photoshoped. A Japanese Mac addict actually grows these apples. Ok, no, it’s not a new species of apple. They are actually Fuji apples, however they really do have Apple logos.
A month before it’s time to harvest the apples, he cuts out the logos from what looks like opaque plastic sheets. He then sticks the logos directly onto the apple. The sticker blocks out sunlight to the area causing the apple to lack the normal pigment. This is very similar to females using stickers on their skin before tanning.
Who would of thought to do it on apples… besides him.

Ah… It’s kind of similar to what they do with Aomori apples!

The ones which had stencil marks on them cost more than the ones which don’t though. ^^
I hope they’re only doing this to Macintosh apples…
I love it! =D

I bet lots of these types of apples will start up soon with adverts like Coke etc. A marketers dream!
I think it’s great marketing idea for any kind of Mac exhibition your company participating in.
