Uzoyibona esibukweni se-iPhone, ikakhulukazi uma othile esiteji ekhombisa izinguquko emisebenzini yocingo noma ohlwini loxhumana nabo, kungaba kudivayisi noma kukhalenda nokunye okunjalo. Kalula nje, uJohn Appleseed ungowakwa-Apple othintana naye. Ngakho ubani ngempela uJohn Appleseed?
Ngokusho kweWikipedia, uyiphayona kanye ne-philanthropist eyasungula amasimu ama-apula e-Ohio, Indiana nase-Illinois. Igama lakhe langempela kwakunguJohn Chapman, kodwa ngenxa yokuhlotshaniswa kwakhe nama-apula, asikho isidingo sokubheka kude umsuka wegama lakhe mbumbulu.

Ngesikhathi esifanayo, wayephinde abe ngumsakazi wemibono yeSonto Elisha, imfundiso esekelwe emsebenzini ka-Emmanuel Swedenborg. Lona uJohn Appleseed wangempela.
IJohn Appleseed esetshenziswa ngabakwa-Apple ngokusobala iphuma komunye wabasunguli bale nkampani, uMike Markkula, osebenzise leli gama ukushicilela isoftware ku-Apple II. Kungakho i-Apple isebenzise lobu buntu njengoxhumana naye ocingweni kanye ne-imeyili phakathi nokwethulwa kwayo. Igama, ngaphezu komfanekiso osobala, libuye liphathe ifa lehlelo nenganekwane, izinto ezimbili ezihlotshaniswa ne-Apple (kanye nomsunguli nomqondisi wesikhathi eside, uSteve Jobs).
