Apple wants to control every image of an apple, says Swiss fruit firm
An investigation in 2022 by the Tech Transparency Project, a nonprofit that researches Big Tech, found that between 2019 and 2021, Apple filed more trademark oppositions—attempts to enforce its IP over other companies—than Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, and Google combined. Those companies also have trademarked common terms such as “Windows” or “Prime.”
If it was possible Apple would file a trademark for the letter A, P L and E ... the very idea a company is even trying to trademark a the image of a common fruit (something that the company has in no way contributed - in this case not even a tiny whiny bit) goes to show that the 'rules' around trademark and IP are morally about as corrupted as the Opiod dedaling pharma industry!

Wow ! wow! you really do not know Swiss people or anything about Switerland ! Her some Swiss stuff for beginners : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerlandcoolfactor said:
I have to side with Apple on this one. Clearly the Fruit Suisse people wanted to leverage the recognition and popularity of Apple when they revamped their logo. I struggle with the "+" symbol, too, as to me that relates to medical / first aid due to Red Cross. But I know that an "apple with a plus" predates Apple, so that may give the case legs.
