Hey to each their own! Apple’s hardware design in that era always makes me think of crappy protective cases. I really didn’t like how the opaque parts were behind thick clear shells. Or like…have you ever seen wooden furniture in a public place that has like 5mm of protective clear coat on it to the point that it looks plastic?
Sorry for the essay, I had not thought about what I specifically disliked until now lol
I disagree, that round plastic glossy thing could look nice. A bit like SW-themed website design in Star Wars: AotC times.
But that’s if the actual GUIs would not cause nausea.
And if they wouldn’t try to make it look expensive.
Actually what I liked in Apple designs in my childhood - they looked modern, friendly and kinda not too pretentious, in other words, cheap.
The majority of their customers apparently have the opposite criteria.
