Macworld Apple’s 50th anniversary is coming in just a couple of weeks, and everyone’s getting in on the fun. Now you can dress your AirPods Pro 3 to look like an iconic 1984 accessory to match your iPhone 17 Pro. That original Mac-like iPhone case has been joined by accessories for another modern-day Apple product—an AirPods Pro 3 Case with its own lanyard and strap, alongside a special MagFit MagSafe wallet— in Spigen’s Classic LS range that is “inspired by the design language” of the Macintosh 128k and Apple Lisa. Spigen The AirPods Pro 3 LS Case blends a retro Mac aesthetic with modern case features, including MagSafe and a lanyard cutout. In particular, the AirPods case is a clever homage to the original Macintosh Mouse. Its locking mechanism is designed to mimic the classic tactile “mouse click” function, while reducing the risk of dropped or lost earbuds. Precise cutouts allow full access to all functions, including wireless charging compatibility and the visible charging LED. Spigen The included lanyard is also a nod to Apple’s Platinum aesthetic of the 1990s “Classic” Mac OS (System 8-9). Spigen If you don’t have AirPods Pro 3, the Spigen Classic LS (MagFit) clamps magnetically to the back of any MagSafe iPhone and holds three cards. It joins Spigin’s existing MagFit wallets that mimic other Apple design classics, such as the Bondi Blue iMac G3. The same company also recently teased a retro MacBook Air case concept design, but it has yet to reveal information about whether it will become a shipping product.04:01 pmApple CEO Cook discusses privacy, future of AI, and the company’s 50th anniversary
