Seems like it should have happened sooner.

I'll have to see if I can get mine to work. Then again, I haven't been in the Bay Area for 5 years or something. When this whole pandemic thing is over, I intend to go back.

Well, they did put a spider logo on the back of them*...

Doesn't feel like a very Apple solution, though. Also I hope those things are machine-washable.

* Yes, I know. That's the joke.

So, is it still possible to lever it open with a screwdriver, and reassemble it in the correct order? Or, better yet, flip one piece so that it's impossible to solve?

And, if you can, how would the app handle that?

Well, at least we know he can work a photocopier.

You see, because the 911 design doesn't really change much between models, Porsche has a reputation for just reusing their designs. Similar to how Apple is often accused of not doing any real innovation because the thing they shipped is a similar shape, despite what changes have been made inside...

Yup -- a lot of people misunderstand design, thinking "design is what it looks like" rather than "design is how it works". 

And you can get it both ways - complain of no innovation because the box looks the same, then when the box changes claim they're only making cosmetic changes to make it look like they've done something.

Apple aren't the only company in that position, as I mentioned about Porsche above, but they do seem to cop it more than most in that regard.
