To President Donald Trump, it was an awkward slip of the lip. To Apple CEO Tim Cook, it was an opportunity to poke some sly fun at a president who has often clashed with the tech industry.

Cook didnB次元官网网址檛 publicly acknowledge the change, but it didnB次元官网网址檛 take long for Apple fans to notice and spread the word.

Non-Apple fans, though, may not get the joke. CookB次元官网网址檚 Apple-logo icon is only visible on iPhones and Mac computers. On Windows, itB次元官网网址檚 a blank square on Android, it renders variously as an X-ed out or blank grey rectangle. (B次元官网网址淭im SquareB次元官网网址� was probably not the connotation the Apple CEO was going for.)
