not the point its what apple stands for. this is not our old apple any longer.
Apple has always partnered with celebrities. Always. Maybe you’re no longer aligned with what Apple have always stood for?

hah, I came down to the comment section with expectation to read how people would mention skin tone.....
just as expected!
Yeah, the comments are a race to the bottom. Fat shaming, misogyny, jealously, racism.

I’m quite sure this is the first time they’ve partnered with a porn star, but I don’t keep too close track on that. Now that they’re an “entertainment” company, maybe it’s not the first.

Oh and you forgot climate change and transphobia.

Her hands look wrinkled. The colors are nice. I wont buy it because of the association. I would otherwise. I don’t need a celebrity attached to beats headphones and havent in quite some time now. I don’t know anyone else who needs this either.

They released an AppleTV series, Pam & Tommy. Why do people need to degrade others so much on these forums. It used to be a forum that had higher standards. 🤷🏻
 
Waiting on an actual billionaire in these comments to actually comment.

Too busy being incels and hating on a collection of earbuds for natural skin colors. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You won’t buy it purely because they used Kim? Wow. If you like the colours, you like the colours. I guess people can be more influenced by advertising than I was aware.

Hands are wrinkled? Seriously…. Who cares? There’s a light spot on her left shoulder that’s distracting too.
 
Is it, though? She was born into wealth and has never had to 'work' as we would know it. She was obviously born with good genetics (though subjective) and has business-minded relationships. Impressive on paper, but perhaps not on a human level.
Oh much easier for sure, but it is impressive how she was able to do this despite becoming well known off the back of a sex tape - something which has sunk or stalled the careers of many others. That’s some A grade image rehab.
 
I think I just object to how macrumors is referring to these. “Kardashian’s new colors?” Skin tone colors are her colors? I think skin tone shades is a nice addition.
 
“This collaboration is special because it allows you to blend in or stand out,”
How does that work?
I think it means you can choose a color that matches your skin tone (blend in), or one that contrasts with it (stand out).

Look at the picture of Kim Kardashian wearing the lighter color and imagine if she were wearing the middle or darker shade. The middle would almost match her skin completely.

I kinda like that idea.

WOw...wow...in the 90s they had Jim Henson...MLK...Cesar Chavez...even Project RED with Bono. 2022 the most materialistic, contradicting, selfish family in the world. Times have changed. Never thought i would see the day.
You are conflating the Beats brand with the Apple brand though. Apple hasn’t really merged the two brands in marketing so Beats is probably always going to continue to target a similar demographic as before.

Look at www.beatsbydre.com. Apple is practically nowhere to be found except a mention of the Apple purchase on the About Us page and this copyright mark.

Kim K has done nothing illegal. And if people want to talk about morals… And let’s just look at the Beats Brand. Dr Dre has a very very chequered past that includes several assault charges, many Domestic Violence accusations and admissions, DUI and so much more. Yet Apple are still happy to use his Beats product name.

What is worse? Porn tape and great business acumen, or Domestic Violence, Assaults and great business acumen?

No, she has not done anything illegal. But the rest us are tired of the shallowness of that family It seems everything they do is geared towards "likes" and their "brand."
