    apple should go back to their classic logominimalism and thinness-for-thinnness-sake has been played out: everything looks the same and is devoid of personality.People want personality back:https://x.com/HeyZaraKhan/status/2050166377269620920Related, MB bringing back physical buttons:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47997418Physical media is making a comeback too (including books)

    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?

    Ah, they just today did Formula E in a Pink Pig livery (https://www.fiaformulae.com/en/news/1062899) but I think the Apple livery might have been more apt.

    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.

    Neat. Porsche releases different gear from time to time based on classic liveries. An espresso cup wearing this livery would be nice.For example, here's what's left of the martini racing collection: https://shop.porsche.com/us/en-US/c/collections?hierarchical...

    Whoever designed the modern version of it, did an awesome job. Modern porsches (past 2000) have gotten a bit too boring, and it needs to be bring some more color in their line up.

    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.

    Was this sanctioned by Apple??

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