Apple Honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. With Full-Page Website Tribute

by

Apple has updated its homepage 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 Podcasts apps.

2026 Apple Dr Martin Luther King Jr
Apple shows photos of Dr. King visiting a church in Miami, Florida, holding a news conference in Birmingham, Alabama, and speaking to a crowd in Jackson, Mississippi.

Apple has ran a full-page Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. homepage tribute for more than a decade.

"We honor Dr. King and reflect upon his life and legacy," says Apple.

Apple CEO Tim Cook also paid tribute to Dr. King.


Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States. Given it is a federal holiday, the Apple news cycle might be relatively quieter today.

I think it odd that the principle that MLK is best known for is one we no longer recognize in our own current culture. We actually refuse to look at the content of peoples' character and instead go out of our way to make excuses for a severe lack thereof. I'm not sure why we even honor the man when we deny by our actions what he actually strived for.

Worked at the Apple Store for a bit, and during a Download (our daily pre-work meeting), we were asked for our favorite MLK quotes. Being autistic and a malcontent, I shared this one: “The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.”

There was a meeting after. Apparently, they wanted me to have a different favorite quote, and to keep this one to myself.

They wanted the 4th grade version of MLK, not the real deal, and they were upset that I, uh… thunk different.

I strongly support Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the things he stood for, but I find that tweet from Tim Cook extremely hypocritical considering Cook’s actions since the start of 2025. Actions mean more than words, so therefore, Cook’s words are empty and just for virtue signaling. I will not explain what I mean by any of that because I respect all the moderators and all the rules of this wonderful MacRumors forum, so I will not write anything political in any post unless it is in the “Political News” section of the forum.

Apple’s been doing this for over ten years now—every MLK Day, the homepage quietly shifts to honor Dr. King with a few of his strongest quotes. It’s simple, consistent, and still feels meaningful after all this time. Tim Cook’s post today hit the same note: service, justice, the idea that everyone can make a difference.
