#12It's not a 'greige' (grey-beige) paint job tho so it doesn't look very good. The rainbow apple logo needs the greige to foreground its vibrancy. White is too loud, and drowns out the pop.

#13apple should go back to their classic logo minimalism and thinness-for-thinnness-sake has been played out: everything looks the same and is devoid of personality.

They should make finder’s search function actually work so that you can open apps on the latest release or macOS. Everything else is irrelevant when you are shipping massive UX regressions and bugs.

I have to agree
Modern Apple is like the bland decorations of today that make houses look more like a hospital than anything else
That Rainbow Apple theme on the cars is just something else. It almost has Nickelodeon levels of enthusiasm

Common sense or reading the article would help.
> “We’ve enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Porsche, going back to 1980 when a Porsche race car first carried the Apple logo,” Oliver Schusser, Vice President Apple Music, Sports and Beats, said. “That moment marked the beginning of a shared passion for innovation and creativity that continues to define our collaboration today. As Apple celebrates its 50th anniversary, we’re proud to once again partner with Porsche on a design that pays tribute to that original 1980 livery.”

#17This is a strange sounding title. It sounds like Porsche was fighting against Apple’s colors in Laguna Seca, when instead they’ll be used on Porsche cars.
The title reads perfectly fine to me. Especially with the `in` preposition.

Respect to those handful of timeless brands that have pretty much never changed. Sony is basically the same since the 50s.

#19Ah, they just today did Formula E in a Pink Pig livery (https://www.fiaformulae.com/en/news/1062899) but I think the Apple livery might have been more apt.

wrt Porsche, Apple, and physical buttons:
Porsche makes an Android Auto/Apple Carplay head unit that's compatible with their older cars (including single-DIN for the classics). I always thought it was super cool that they made that as an option for people who wanted to daily drive their 914 without giving up some of the practical benefits of a newer car.
They put out some delightfully cheesy ads with at least some actors who didn't speak English but tried to sound things out phonetically.
