Spigen's Latest Apple Watch Charger Looks Like a Retro iMac

You'll soon see fakes on AliExpress and Amazon, if they're already there.

I had a ruby iMac with DVD rom. I couldnt burn disks, we had no USB flash drives, there was no floppy drive, so transferring data was a pain. I bought an iomega zip 100 drive for transfers. Was a bit of an oversight on the part of Apple.

I remain convinced that the original iMac was designed as an office workstation.

No floppy, no writable optical storage, and a 100Mbps ethernet port.

The thing was going to be beige. I can't prove it, but it just screams "I was supposed to be an office product, but somebody put me in a weird blue shell!"

Funny enough, the first one I actually touched WAS an office workstation, blue shell and all. The ISP where I worked got one. It sat on the desk with a VT-220 at the helpdesk. (All our workstations had a computer and a terminal, most of the computers were Windoze 95 junk, but we had a few Macs.)

The idea sounds super cool but when you look at the final result perhaps they should have canned it.

I knew a lot of people with these in college and every single one of them had an attached USB floppy. I had a Zip, as well, since our dorms only had dial-up at the time, and I had to walk to main campus to get broadband speeds.

As for this charger thing? Naa..

Okay, that is fugly. The original iMacs were also fugly, so there you have it.

Costly. But looks very nice and think it will look good on a desk. Might buy one.

Not an original idea. Multiple variations have been available for several years.

This is so ridiculous. I just ordered two. 😛

No Bondi Blue yet on their site, maybe it's sold out.

I do wish they would've added colored grills over the tiny 'speakers' to fully round out the throwback look.

Any charger from a quality brand is all around the same price so $35 is not really that much more for adding something nostalgic to the item. In fact I would say that I am pleasantly surprised that it is this reasonable. Most often the companies who build nostalgic items will uncharge a LOT more than 20%

That’s adorable!

Why did you all buy all the tangerine ones before I could get there 🙁
