I think this is wonderful! It's the biggest homage Apple has given to Steve since his passing. Steve adored Issey, and this seems like a love letter to him. I'm certain almost everyone will vehemently hate it (understandble), but I'm so happy Apple gave Steve this nod.

This also seems more like Jony would do than Tim, which is even cooler.

This is simply a show-off product, nothing else and I really don't condemn people buying this.
This is made for people buying stuff, that they don't really need, but need it, to define themselves in their society.

There is a saying in German:
"Mit Geld, das wir nicht haben, kaufen wir Dinge, die wir nicht brauchen, um Leute zu beeindrucken, die wir nicht mögen!"
Translation (from Google):
"With money we don't have, we buy things we don't need to impress people we don't like!"

BTW: I like the translation from Google, it is absolutely correct! 😎
Reminds me of that Brad Pitt quote in Fight Club...
