Apple Honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

by

Apple has updated the home page of its website to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today. The page highlights some of King's most impactful quotes, and invites people to explore his legacy further through the Apple Books and Apple News apps.

Apple 2025 MLK Day
Apple CEO Tim Cook also honored King in a social media post today.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States. As a result of this federal holiday, along with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration later today, it is likely to be a slower day for Apple-related product news. Cook will reportedly be in attendance at Trump's inauguration, alongside many other high-profile CEOs.

Note: Due to the political or social nature of the discussion regarding this topic, the discussion thread is located in our Political News forum. All forum members and site visitors are welcome to read and follow the thread, but posting is limited to forum members with at least 100 posts.

On the day we honour a true American hero that worked for justice and freedom for all people,
We swear into office a man and a party that has as their stated goal of tearing down what King began and so many of us have worked for.
It is appropriate that today is Blue Monday.

“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.”

It seems history is correcting itself for the many great people America has produced in the past by dropping big t*rds
As a European, I'm absolutely amazed at what's going on in the US. And I worry deeply for the Ukrainians and Palestinians.
