12 irresistibly boxy and beige Apple accessories that’ll transform your shiny new gadgets into retro tech in seconds

Don’t get me wrong; I like my 2024 MacBook Air M3. I don’t want to seem ungrateful for how capably it assists me throughout my work day. But do I love it like I loved my iPod Nano? I do not. That purple, palm-sized gadget accompanied me through my university years and beyond, and it’s still in a drawer somewhere, just in case I’m ever brave enough to relive the music choices of my youth.

If you too are nostalgic for a previous era of Apple, the internet is awash with gadgets to help you relive that boxier, beige-r time. My pick, of course, is a silicone cover that makes your AirPods Pro cover look like an iPod scroll wheel. You can also get little hats that turn your Mac Mini into an old Macintosh — in looks, not functionality, of course — with options from a range of classic eras.
