For me it wasn't about the matching the machine (although I do expect the trackpad and keyboard to match), it was about having the black keys and the non-shiny surface. Thankfully I have ~3 sets of the keyboard/trackpad, but I mig

yeah, apparently Apple only "intended" them to be used with the iMac Pro line to align it with that Mac's color scheme. Since the line was discontinued, they killed the matching accessories, or so the theory goes.

It already was a "pro" line and cost more than the silver ones. ;)

The number is actually a bit higher than that actually, but there’s at least 30 that I know where they are. The 7 generations after the first one (aka 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S, 5, 5S, 5C) had multiple different baseband variations and for several rea
