It’s so cute!!! I wish Apple would release a retro line like this and with it the M4 chips.

For all intents and porpoises, it should be the video HomePod variant. edit: … with a “Follow Me” FaceTime camera

  But this camera turns the screen to follow you.

After all the DEI shenanigans, Apple should bring the rainbow apple logo back. They’d probably lose all federal contracts for four years, but they’d gain some even more dedicated following.

  While I bitterly objected to Steve Jobs cancelling the Newton (apparently one of the reasons was the USMC having great success testing them for battlefield use and being on the verge of a general deployment/contract and SJ not wanting to be a Defense Contractor), I'll have to buy something (my first Apple purchase for myself since buying OpenSTEP 4.2) if Apple continues to be the only principled multi-national.

    Their products are really good. Others might have better numbers, the same way a McLaren can be faster than a 911, but the 911 is a much more pleasant drive.

      Yeah, the problem is my preference is for machines with styluses/handwriting/drawing capabilities (hence my fondness for the Newton). Sadly, the iPad and its walled garden don't appeal to me --- the "click" of the Apple Pencil when it is touched to the screen drives me nuts --- really sad that there isn't a real successor to the Axiotron Modbook. I'm tempted by a Mac Mini w/ a Wacom Movink 13 screen, but it's quite low resolution compared to the Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 I'm writing this out on.

  It's nearly Apple's 50th anniversary. I've thought for a while now that a limited run of the rainbow logo on their products would be a great (and lucrative) celebration gimmick.

  Make the Apple logo on the back of the laptop be a full color display that lights up with the rainbow when you run the full screen Apple ][ simulator.

Love that idea. I would totally buy a M4 Cube.
