[6] This logo has been erroneously referred to as a tribute to Alan Turing, with the bite mark a reference to his method of suicide. [7] Both Janoff and Apple deny any homage to Turing in the design of the logo. [6] [8]

A biography published by the Royal Society shortly after Turing's death, [3] while his wartime work was still subject to the Official Secrets Act, recorded: . Three remarkable papers written just before the war, on three diverse mathematical subjects, show the quality of the work that might have been produced if he had settled down to work on some big problem at that critical time.
