I don't think Apple has pursued design for the sake of design until very recently. Apple devices traditionally combined great design with good functionality. The G5 iMac was not only beautiful but you could open it up in a minute with a simple screwdriver. Only the current generation of iMacs hat the whole device literally glued together, so that any access to internals turned into an expensive repair bill. My late 2008 Unibody MacBook hat a door which opened with a latch and gave access to the battery and hard disk. In a body that looks very much like my 2015 MB Pro. For quite a while, MB Pros might have been difficult to open, but you still could access battery, memory and SSD.
