How is white the original Apple signature color? Apple was in business for years before Ive made the white stuff...
because I have the second gen iPod, and when I say second gen, I dont mean crappy second gen nano, or shuffle, or touch, I mean the original second gen iPod which looks just like the first gen except for some minor differences on the top of the device, and guess what, it is white. Apple was like the first company to make white stuff that looked cool after black and grey started to become popular. They proved that white does not have to yellow over time, and that it can look cool on mp3 players and laptops, so therfore, I believe that white should be apples signature color.
Okay.
Too bad they don't think so and have abandoned it on everything modern that they sell that doesn't have to have perfect reception.
Are you talking about the Macbook, Mac mini, iPhone, iPod, Airport, Airport express, mighty mouse, keyboard, or the apple adapters? White is still very much apart of Apple. The only place they've gotten rid of it is the iMac.
I'm talking about since the newest design shift. Don't for a second think that the MacBook will be around in its current incarnation much longer.
The networking being plastic is a given, and the iPods aren't white anymore.
I see a new Mighty Mouse soon, and the adapters being aluminum would only make them even more ludicrously expensive.
I think I listed quite a few more things than the airport and iPod. Yes, the iPods still have white plastic clickwheels. You remember the clickwheel right? It's that thing that give the iPod it's iconic look.
So since Apple has only gotten rid of white plastic in one of its machine I think that hardly counts as "moving away".
One? All of the MacBook Pros and the Mac Pro?
If we're counting white as an accent color, then I agree; we certainly haven't lost it, but it isn't Apple's signature anymore, and it isn't crucial for them to keep around.
