Mapple
| |
| Company Information
|
Mapple is a company founded by Steve Mobbs. It sells Mapple computers and related products and services. Lisa owns several Mapple devices, including a MyPod and a Mapple computer.[1]
Description
Mapple's headquarters are located under the sea. The company logo is an apple that has two bites missing from it. The company slogan, as seen on its posters, is "Think Differently". However, when Lisa Simpson visited Steve Mobbs to ask for a reduced payment plan on her MyBill, Mobbs informed her that the real slogan was "No Refunds".[2] In some advertising signage, the slogan reads "Think different".[3]
Mapple owns and operates the Mapple Stores, which are retail shops that sell Mapple's products and services. The stores can be found in a wide variety of locations, including Springfield Mall.
Product line
Mapple's products and services include the following:
- MyPods
- MyPhones
- MyPhonies
- MyCubes
- The Brainiac Bar (in-store technical support)
- MyTunes (users are charged by sending them a MyBill)
- Laptops[4]
Behind the Laughter
- Mapple, its logo, and its product line are a parody of Apple. All appear to have minor differences from their real-life counterparts, presumably for copyright reasons.
