Perhaps a tree designed by another manufacturer *cough*
The number of people getting their knickers in a twist because Ive is designing a Christmas tree is hilarious. Calm down Beyonce!
#Ive dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree-tops glisten with Alu-min-ium
To replace wood 'cos that's so old
Ive dreaming of a white Christmas
Ceramic-Watch-Edition-like
May your trees be shiny and light
And may all your Christmases be white

Utter garb!
I'd believe it if the avaliable options were silver/space/gold/rose. Not the pictures red.
Um, yes I did.
The space available means it can't be much (if any) bigger than what was done previously.
So the Christmas tree will be as small, as thin, as light as possible, they'll need to provide a microscope for visitors to have a glimpse of the famous "Jony" Christmas tree
On a completely random note, I find it interesting that there is an entire generation of Americans (probably multiple generations, and maybe people from elsewhere--not sure how well known that Peanuts cartoon was outside the US) that find this image of a Christmas "tree" so instantly recognizable.
Yes and no. The way I see it: Ive came up with great design ideas which Jobs curated. Of course there was overlap between the two. Without Jobs we're left with a great designer with little direction. It's like letting a world class orchestra play without a director; it takes much longer to prepare a piece and something essential is missing.
Apple as a whole is lacking direction.
"To... create... this Christmas tree, we fundementally... rethought the design of what a tree could be.
By consolidating the branches into an... atypical tree shape, we minimised surface area, without reducing its instrumentality. The branches... sympathetically dance in the anomalous "Magic Snowball" formation.
We also... re-examined its pallete, unanimously agreeing... on the striking, yet subtle... "Unapologetic Beige".
Put simply, it's the best Christmas tree we've ever made."
You don't understand what you've just done. You've masterfully just created one of the greatest post on all of macrumors.
No wonder Microsoft are so far ahead of Apple when your chief designer is making Holiday trees when he should be trying to save the company with new products.
Instead of Christmas ornaments JonyTree will be hung with magical iDonglements.
Courage.
Courage.
Well that'd certainly make it the most expensive Christmas tree in the entire world.

This is gold.
