I have heard several variants of this opinion, from several people, and it always blows my mind.
Steve Jobs practically invented garish colored plastic housings. Don't you remember the iMac? In translucent 'Bondi Blue' and then every color under the sun? And how somehow just about every product on earth -- even like kitchen gadgets and car air fresheners and shit -- suddenly started coming out in weird-colored plastic housings?
And then how Apple-under-jobs returned to that playbook for their music player line?
I think the people who now say Steve Jobs wouldn't have made a cheaper colored-plastic-clad iPhone are the same ones who now say he would never have worn stonewashed jeans with huge non-functional thigh and knee patches.[1]
