The Macintosh is Back, Baby (And It fits in Your Pocket)

If you’ve ever looked at your sleek, futuristic iPhone 17 Pro and thought, "You know what this needs? More beige," then Spigen has officially read your mind. To celebrate Apple’s big 5-0, they’ve dropped the Classic LS series, a love letter to the chunky charm of the Macintosh 128k and the Apple Lisa. But this isn't just a slap-of-paint job; Spigen went fully obsessive-compulsive on the details. The power button literally says "hello" (a nod to the original Mac greeting), and the volume rockers are styled like old-school mechanical keyboard keys. They’ve even thrown in a retro logo and a lanyard hole because apparently, we’re bringing phone charms back in 2026. Speaking of which, if you’re in the US, use code HELLOMAC on Amazon to snag a free matching strap. It’s the perfect accessory for anyone who wants to party like it’s 1984 but with 5G and a decent camera.

Wallets Rejoice: Nostalgia That Won’t Bankrupt You

Here’s the plot twist: usually, "limited edition retro gear" is code for "overpriced plastic," but Spigen kept it real at $39.99. For a dual-layer case that actually protects your phone (unlike the original Macintosh, which would probably explode if you dropped it), that’s a steal. It’s got all the modern bells and whistles too—MagSafe support and a dedicated Camera Control button cover. While I personally think the teal and orange Classic C1 cases still hold the crown for "prettiest retro case," the Classic LS wins on pure geeky detail. Just remember, it’s exclusive to the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, so if you’re rocking a standard 17, you’re stuck in the future. Sorry!
