Shame Apple didn't have the balls to release the Neo in those bright colors in homage, and instead went with the safe, bland, corporate committee, focus group approved, muted colors like the rest of their product lineup. Booo! Missed opportunity.
- ranger_danger 7mo agoIt's almost like companies know what sells best and go with that for maximum profit :) Why is it a shame that they didn't choose to lose money on purpose?
- s0ss 7mo agoYeah, the ones that aren't being made sell terribly!
- anamexis 7mo agoWhy is it a shame that companies safely maximize profit at the expense of expressive and novel design?
- dmonitor 7mo agoI do wonder what the reasoning is behind using safe colors for the Macbooks while giving the iPhone Pro bright orange as one of its three options.
- baal80spam 7mo agoI am quite sure that they will expand the colour palette in the next gen. One more way to distinguish that you have "a new version of the thing".
- joe_mamba 7mo agoThe limited color palette isn't the issue, it's that the colors have no vividness as the iBook.
- nielsbot 7mo agoThis could simply be because you can’t get colors as bright as plastic from anodizing aluminum.
- itsmesashank 7mo ago“Everyone should do things the way I want them because what I want is always the correct thing!” Apple literally released a colorful laptop and you’re complaining that it’s not colorful enough. If you were saved from a burning building, you’d complain about which door the firemen used to enter.
