I really wish Apple would bring back the design of the G4 Cube. That was probably my favorite Apple design aside from the UMBP.

What products/designs do you wish Apple would bring back?

I wish they'd go back to the less curved look for the iPod Touch and iPhone.

I also love the old Cube and the matching keyboard, mouse, and display. Luckily my family still has one! :)



I love your avatar btw. That episode was HILARIOUS!!!!!!
 
Hey all,
I would like to see apple bring back the 12in. aluminum PowerBookG4, the Cube and powermac G4 designs, the imac G4 and g3 designs, and the clamshell design (typing on one:eek:)The 12in. MacBookPro would be a low-cost entry into apple's pro market, the cube would replace the mac mini and would re-introduce the easel-style displays.(if anyone has that setup with the soundsticks, I envy you) the powermac G4 would be in the middle of the imac and mac pro, called the MidiMac. It would use the MddG4 case.The imac g4 would be a high end imac, the imac g3 would sell for $399 and $499 and would be sold in indigo, graphite, ruby, sage and snow, with flower power and Bllue Dalmation as an option. Lastly, the clamshell would be renamed the ColorBook and would sell for $499 and $699 in indigo, lime, graphite, snow and ruby.
 
definitely the imac g4. what a gorgeous design!
plus mine wont boot :( ive tried everything, but simply wont turn on :(
 
A return to the iMac G4 design would be great, realistically though I don't think Apple's philosophy would give any room to such 'backward thinking'. Still, we can hope, eh?
 
I think the macbook line needs different colors, or wilder designs like say the original iMacs. Not saying i dont like the new aluminum 'books, or i think i would personally buy a wilder one. I just think that a line of crazy colored, but still minimalist laptops would be a statement. Part of the appeal to Apple when they were rebuilding their self in the late 90s, early 2000's was the colors.
 
I'd love to see an updated PB Duo + motorised docking station...

...only without the total lack of reliability when actually used portably. Oh wait - That hasn't changed.

I did like the Apple Adjustable keyboard. A good marriage of cool, decent ergonomics and fairly decent function. Although I went through more than I would expect to, given the price.

I know!! :D

I agree that they should go back to flat-backed iPod Touches, especially when you want to watch movies on the thing while it lies on the table.

Apple really doesn't have enough "variety".
They should start bringing back a bunch of old designs. Who says everything needs to look the same? I'd kill for a G4 Cube set.
 
How awesome would it be if Apple decided to have a back to the past month, brought out a certain date in the past, took every product they were selling on that certain date, but just update them?

For example, if it was 2002.

20" iMac "Lamp" with an Intel C2D 2.53 GHZ, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB HD, nVidia 130 GT. $1799

15" eMac with an Intel C2D 2.0 GHZ, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB HD, nVidia 9400m. $800

TiBook with an Intel C2D 2.53 GHZ, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB HD, nVidia 9600M GT, $1999

Mac Cube with an Intel C2D 2.8 GHZ (option of Intel C2Q 2.4 GHZ, +$250), 4 GB RAM, 250 GB HD (option of 2nd 500 GB HD, $+120), ATI 3850 (with an option of nVidia 9800 GT +$125 or a ATI 4850 +$200. Starting at $1999

14" iBook with an Intel C2D 2.0 GHZ, 2 GB RAM, 120 GB HD, nVidia 9400m. $999.

Drooooooool.
