Apple is looking to squash the world’s smallest Mac
Last May, we wrote on the Pico Mac Nano, a small replica of 2.5 inch (62 mm) of the original Macintosh. Rainbow 1 bit had taken orders, but announced that it may have to stop selling the device fully assembled due to an order to stop and desity of Apple.
Nick Gillard, the person behind the Pico Mac Nano and who heads the Arc-en-ciel 1-bit company, said in an email sent to customers that “the Commerce group and the copyright of Apple has put a big question mark on the future of pre-assembled units”. Gillard discusses the problem with Apple and says that the command lists for the assembled units will probably be deleted “imminently”. Until the possibility of ordering is deactivated, customers can always place an order on a nano Pico Mac assembled without making a payment or providing payment details.
The two fully assembled offers according to which Apple claims to be in violation is the collection of collection entirely assembled for £ 79.50 and an assembled version without the box for £ 58. For customers who have placed an order and paid, Gillard declares that the rear are filled and expect all orders to be shipped by September 6, which would be 90 days after the initial sale. Customers who wish to cancel an order can send an e-mail to info@1bitrainbow.com with the order number.
“In all honesty towards Apple, not only are they perfectly in their rights to stop an end and abstain … But they were super zero and polite about the project,” said Gillard in the email. Gillard also says that Apple did not continue a copyright violation against the Pico Micro Mac project, which is the Mac 128K emulator software that runs on the Pico Mac Nano.
The case and the desist only applies to the fully assembled pico mac nano. Rainbow 1 Bits always sells the individual parts of the device that the customer can use to assemble their own pico Mac nano. Read the complete story behind the Pico Mac Nano.
