It ticks me off that Apple uses its gadzillions in profits for frivolous lawsuits like this. Dear Apple, the shape of an apple belongs to the fruit, not to you ... if you can use it, so can others.

To be fair, remember how trademark law works. Apple doesn't necessarily actually think Fangguo is infringing on them. The law is such that Apple must defend their trademark against anything that may appear to be an infringement, or else Apple may lose the right to defend it later against actual infringement.
