    apple should go back to their classic logo

    minimalism and thinness-for-thinnness-sake has been played out: everything looks the same and is devoid of personality.

    People want personality back:

    Physical media is making a comeback too (including books)

      They should make finder’s search function actually work so that you can open apps on the latest release or macOS. Everything else is irrelevant when you are shipping massive UX regressions and bugs.

      I have to agree

      Modern Apple is like the bland decorations of today that make houses look more like a hospital than anything else

      That Rainbow Apple theme on the cars is just something else. It almost has Nickelodeon levels of enthusiasm

      I had an IT job where I got to replace ink in enterprise printers and the tactility was great. I completely understand the convenience of always plugged in and connected drives, but for some media it would be great to have some clicks or tactility when plugging things in, and having more plug and play storage options. I miss the days of plugging in a “thing” which holds a defined media or set of media. Game disks and cartridge support on PC, even if it isn’t practical, would be great to see

      The absolute, very last complaint that I have with Apple's brand right now is their logos. They can abandon minimalism once they're done worshiping authoritarianism, until then they don't deserve it.

    The colors look beautiful on the car. Hopefully a Ternus-lead Apple will find the courage to adorn the Macbook Pro line with six colors.

    I would bet there's so much pent up demand for properly colored macbooks. What's the argument against it – SKU explosion?

      > What's the argument against it

      every cent you invest in the product is taken from your profit.

        Not if you add it to the price.

    Was this sanctioned by Apple??

      Common sense or reading the article would help.

      > “We’ve enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Porsche, going back to 1980 when a Porsche race car first carried the Apple logo,” Oliver Schusser, Vice President Apple Music, Sports and Beats, said. “That moment marked the beginning of a shared passion for innovation and creativity that continues to define our collaboration today. As Apple celebrates its 50th anniversary, we’re proud to once again partner with Porsche on a design that pays tribute to that original 1980 livery.”

    Damn, just when we of the emulator and vintage stuff scene thought we were safe using the old colors as they hadn't any relevance anymore, booom, it suddenly becomes trendy again.

    It's not a 'greige' (grey-beige) paint job tho so it doesn't look very good. The rainbow apple logo needs the greige to foreground its vibrancy. White is too loud, and drowns out the pop.

    This is a strange sounding title. It sounds like Porsche was fighting against Apple’s colors in Laguna Seca, when instead they’ll be used on Porsche cars.

    Only HN could find something negative to say about a wrap on a car. The internet is a remarkable place.
