    The only thing I find a bit strange: what's with the black adaptor cord on a white-colored product?
    Why would the charging cable need to be color-coded to match the headphone color? Why not apply this to the case if the charging cable gets the same treatment?
    I guess you must have had some trouble deciphering an obvious implication regarding aesthetics. Well, whatever. 

    And thanks for helping me realize that the case too should have got the same treatment.  
    1) So if they have a pink or green pair of headphones your aesthetic compass demands that the case and cable be the same color?

    2) Why would you expect Beats to drop their black cables for white when Apple hasn't dropped their white cables to match their devices? Pretty much every Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod, or Watch comes with a white cable and PSU. There have been very few exceptions, and none of which I think of off the top of my head but I'm sure there is at least one outlier.

    edit: Here's one. I can't find any others without going back to the TAM. Even the black polycarbonate MacBook from 2006 that cost $200 more that its white counterpart with otherwise same HW specs didn't come with a black power cable and PSU… and that was still during the Steve Jobs reign so the "Steve wouldn't never let this happen" argument by Ireland is also bunk.


    Ah, you're getting to the dog-with-the-bone phase of your postings. I've had a decade of interactions with you to know that. And I find it to be a complete waste of time for me, and boring as hell for everybody else. 

    Yes, I like matching colors. Let it go.

    Yes, it's surely boring for you that I make a statement, then do research to back up my statement, and then post the results of my research so you can verify them, instead of just spouting a singular opinion where I complain that everything is wrong and Apple is doomed.

    If this was only about your preference then you could've simply stated: "I wouldn't preferred if all the accessories matched the color of the headphone."
