The Apple logo may be seen everywhere in the company’s branding, from Apple TV+ streaming service advertisements to the Apple stickers that come with every iPhone. If you have a Mac, you can enter the logo using a simple keyboard shortcut since Apple has included the symbol in its keyboard character set.

Use the keys Option-Shift-K to enter the symbol in a tweet, a word processor, or anyplace else that allows text input.

You may input the symbol using a text replacement shortcut if you’re using an iPhone or iPad. In fact, if you like, you may do the same technique on a Mac. However, you must first configure the text replacement. Read on to discover how.
