* Given that Apple is a "friendship model" designed to be friends with a human, you might wonder if her relationship with the Kid is genuine or just a soulless computer acting out its programming. But Zeus's backstory, revealed at the last second of the climax, serves to answer the question: Robot Zeus was supposed to be the robot companion of the original Zeus but betrayed his master for being told he's "just a robot." His story shows that robots can go beyond their programming, for good or ill. So Apple ''could'' have moved beyond her robotic imperative to be friends with the Kid and chosen to ''actually'' like him for who he was.

* When Apple wakes up with her head on a new body, she looks at the outfit on the body and says, "I love that dress!" Her use of "that" rather than "this" subtly emphasizes how she's still mentally distanced from this completely different body.

This seems to be more a theory than fridge brilliance. Also check out Example Indentation.

** Apple seems to be specifically designed as a friend for children, due to her childlike nature and obsession with games like hide and seek. Her knowing that humans' weak points are "eyes, throat, genitals" could actually fit into this, as it sounds like a self defense method. Even in the pre-apocalypse world, there would be adults who might want to prey on a child accompanied only by their seemingly harmless robot companion; this way, the robot could fend off an attacker and allow the child to run to safety.

* Apple gets "killed" a whole lot during the film, but she's always salvageable. Just sticking her head on an old robot body is enough to fix her. In the end, the Kid has more freedom than he's ever had to find a way to repair her, but he doesn't even try. Is there something I missed that established that Apple is irreparable this time, or did he just give up on always having to fix her?
* Isn't it that the Kid is respecting her because she sacrificed herself?
