alt Hacker NewsLooks like Apple decided they need their own version of the Android mascot. Theirs is definitely a little more unsettling than the little droid guy though.

My first thought: a rather strange copy of the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillsbury_Doughboy
Google's Android robot has a much better design, IMHO. And I remember the Amazon box version of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danbo_(character) and Arielle Nadel's photo stories "365 Days of Danbo" with it. Can't imagine that with the Apple Dough boy..
Android mascot is known as bugdroid - see https://www.androidpolice.com/every-android-bugdroid-ever/
The shape of the bugdroid changed a couple of years ago - arms became asymmetric - narrow near the shoulder, widening at the hand, among other changes.
