Remember the iBook? This Apple laptop enjoyed some success in the 2000s. So much so that a designer named Billy Skipper Hughes chose to take inspiration from it to create a very similar iPad case, seen in the press a little earlier This year.The resultis striking and we really have the impression of coming face to face with a small relic.
Since then, it seems that the initiative, shared on the social networkTikTok, was emulated. Some Internet users have actually asked the inventor to sell them his homemade chassis! Neither one nor two, this one is executed. And that’s when another, even more original request came to him: to make an iBook case for an… iPhone. At work.
3D printed
Using dedicated software, Hugues then designed the object in question before printing it in three dimensions. Then all you need is a few cutouts, colors, an apple then slip an iPhone inside and that's it. Here you are carrying your mobile,with keyboard, like a small handbag. Or rather a pocket toaster, it's up to you.
Apple did not react but the videographer behind this little feat announced that hewould not sell the itemwith the Apple logo. Probably a good idea to avoid trouble, because we know that Cupertino doesn't appreciate revenue models that are inspired by its brand image. This is what was able to demonstratethe dispute with Prepear occurred between 2020 and 2021, the recipe app being accused of copying the forbidden fruit.
The iBook, this nugget
Released for the very first edition in July1999, the iBook was therefore a laptop from Apple, with several colors to choose from like the iMac. Now obsolete, the machine at the time included up to 6 Gb of internal storage for a maximum of 576 Mb of RAM. The screen had a diagonal of 12.1 inches, less than an iPad Pro M2 or a current MacBook Air.
Production of the iBook range will bestopped in May 2006. The first MacBook of the name, for its part, will arrive the same month to take over.
