It’s been a long time since APPLE was a lone tech lighthouse, its designs marking the future’s horizon even as they cast a warm, nostalgic glow on whatever came before. For many fans and users, APPLE has become their technology’s aesthetic, from the joy and anticipation of each new release to the glow of old designs on dusty shelves and in childhood photographs. In this space, accessories transport APPLE’s designs to the present, introducing a dose of yesterday and breathing new life into the products of today.
Recall that Bondi Blue iMac of long ago, the one that changed your mind about what a computer might look like? A set of cases for the iPhone 15 Pro models by Spigen recreates the aesthetic of that icon with a brilliant sense of appropriation, available in Bondi Blue, Graphite or Ruby, to match the palette of the original iMac. Each costs $29.99 – a retro show of color from APPLE as it was first pushing the envelope.
elago is literally bringing history into the present through its retro line of APPLE Watch charging docks, the W3 and W6 stands. These charging stands turn your APPLE Watch into either a mini Macintosh or an iPod while it charges. The W3 and W6 are compatible with all of APPLE’s standard APPLE Watch releases and are a nostalgic nod to the devices that defined their respective eras.
There’s no mistaking APPLE’s Wallet app icon – its design is unmistakable. Caseology has now made a MagSafe wallet bringing that digital icon to life in the IRL world. For $25.99 you can attach this magnetic wallet to your iPhone, blending fashion and function with its ability to hold up to three cards.
For fans of the old Mac’s Finder or iOS’s Files app, Caseology sells a blue folder MagSafe wallet; available for $24.99, it distils digital order in material terms, holding up to three cards. It also comes in versions featuring a cloud or music icon.
