Why didn't Steve Jobs choose grapes instead of Apple?

Because the Fruit of the Loom guys took that from him already.

So did the California Grapes.  Okay, technically they ARE raisins but raisins start out as grapes.

In Washington everything is apple.   I thought maybe he was from there but I checked, and no.  So I don't know but it is one of  my favorite trademarks.

In the Steve Jobs biography, Jobs told Walter Isaacson he was “on one of my fruitarian diets” and had just come back from an apple farm, and thought the name sounded “fun, spirited and not intimidating."

The apple is associated with the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. Subconsciously he must have been warning you.

"If you take a bite out of a grape, there's nothing left!"

they probably liked the grapes better
