An Apple “Classics” line, something to think about

The Apple Blog has an insightful article on how Apple products can be classified as collectibles. The design of their products, with two in particular, the iMac and the older G4 Cube are great examples of beautiful design.

Iyaz Akhtar goes on to say he has thought about putting the 17 inch iMac in his guest room for use by any guests. It is a bit of a showpiece and he wonders if Apple would ever consider doing a “Classics” line. Why not re-use the designs with updated electronics?

I totally agree with him on this, if Apple released a “Classics” line over the course of a year, releasing a new product each 2 months, for a total of 6 limited edition Mac’s - sales should hit the roof.

It’s something to think about, Apple has a lot to cash in on. I for one am all for a Classics line, or should we call them throwbacks?
