I got so used to the Apple logo on the chin bar that removing it makes it looks like a knockoff product.



Maybe use one of the  stickers included in the box?


I'm almost certain there are products that look nearly identical to this in Black Mirror. If not, it looks like it belongs in an episode.


That's the danger of late-stage minimalism. All the designs converge on featureless rectangles.

There's a huge market for making TVs look like anything other than a slab of glass. Aesthetics count. Is why the 17 inch iMac with the crane neck is still covered.


For what it's worth I don't think featureless rectangles are a bad thing. I'm just saying that it gets hard to distinguish products from each other when the designs converge so much.


Yeah, but I don't think that's a bad thing. Now if the designs were converging on something like a gaming PC, then that would be bad.
