I’ll wait for the 15” version… which of course will add $100
Well producing products "in the style of" isn't specifically copyright infringement. That's up to Apple, and they've not done anything in 16 years. They may have already had contact with apple about it.
Looking at the products they don't mention apple or any product names - Notes and 'App' might be the exception. They are not claiming these are apple at all. Or using them in the same purpose that they were originally... i.e. app icons. Same with the blankets ( which I may buy one if they do a sale )
Disney have HUNDREDS of people/small companies. Making artwork based on their IP. They don't mind so long as it's postitive, isn't a direct, clone or copy and doesn't infringe their main domains... so don't make an animation, game, anything MASS made, use character names or claim it's Disney approved... or have Mickey smoking or something.
Disney learnt a long time ago, it only make the fans happy and y'know what... it's free advertising.
...which I bought haha, still have it new in a box.
"aw.. I saw you with the box... What's in the box? Whats in the box"
That’s probably why they have an exorbitant price tag. They’ll need to lawyer up very soon.
They look cheap - really cheap. They'd make those in China for around 1$ each (probably they already do).
We call the parts you sit and lean back on (part of the couch/sofa/loveseat) "cushions." The extra part, like these, we call "pillows," just like the thing you put under your head when you lie down.
