I dont often see stickers on cars but when I do, one of them is the apple logo. What is it for?

Edit: I'm in Germany in case that's relevant

You don’t often see stickers on cars?

Are you sure it isn’t the logo of the National Education Association? That is the largest teacher’s Union in the US.

Also there are many regional and local. Teachers organizations that will use a stylization of an apple as their logo.

Who said that they are from US?

Stickers on cars are not really common in many countries.
Besides the occasional "child on board" or local soccer club sticker, they are e.g. almost nonexistant here in Germany.
But Apple stickers *have* been a thing that deviated from that rule, so it stood out, a few years ago.

Don't forget the ubiquitous Sylt sticker.

Yes, sure, the classic is also still around!

I took me quite some time until I figured out what it was supposed to be.

For a long time I actually thought it to be something political, as it looked a lot like the scar on Gorbachev's head... 😆
