Bit late to jump on the RGB bandwagon there, Apple.

Apple started the RGB trend:

I... I know they made colorful iMacs... But... What was the marketing idea behind this ad?

What did they mean by "No artificial colors" for a computer...?

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

The OG colors were all food based.

Tangerine, grape, lime, strawberry, and blueberry

The five colors were fruit-themed: blueberry, grape, tangerine, lime and strawberry.

I would assume it’s a joke on when they say no artificial colors in food, because… apple?

Idk

[-] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 7 points 2 months ago

Familiar byline from food marketing? I seem to recall a lot of fear mongering related to food coloring at the time (most of which turned out to be overblown) making that a cutesy/tongue-in-cheek headline coming from a tech company.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

That, and the colors were all foods Tangerine, grape, lime, strawberry, and blueberry

The campaign was all food references

[-] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 6 points 2 months ago

Ah I forgot the fruit schema for the colors! lol

Honestly some of the jelly style molded acrylic designs from that era were pretty sick, even by today’s standards. I remember the G4 cube with matching Harmon Kardon Soundsticks and display/keyboard/mouse as a standout example of a short lived concept that might still appear futuristic today.

Especially compared to contemporary computers. I mean late nineties, everything was beige beige beige, MAYBE black.

this was Apple's peak for design. I can't stand apple products but if they made an iphone in this colorway I would be tempted.

Im ready for a new Apple Watch with tricorder functions.

The phase inverter app is subscription-based though.

Why does

The Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park

look like it is copy / pasted by someone who couldn't be bothered to match the font?

[-] fubarx@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago

It's about Siri's new graphics.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

More specifically, the glow used in all the Apple Intelligence enabled UIs. Siri, summarizing, rewriting, etc. It all has that plasma glowy effect.

[-] radiohead37@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 2 months ago

Is the glow just a new Siri?

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

I imagine this is referencing Apple Intelligence in general. The rainbow glow is used for all of the interface elements using Apple Intelligence.

[-] hark@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

If it's in reference to a proper microLED display, then I'm excited.
