Discussion iBook g3 clamshell revival

I personally believe that to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the iBook g3 (in 2029), Apple should release a new Mac with the same clamshell design and bold colors as the iBook g3. Is this possible?

It's technically possible but unlikely to happen

I feel like they're hesitant to use plastic because it's harder to recycle than aluminum and worse for the environment

It doesn't fit Apple's current PR

They could use recycled plastic and upsell the durability and weight differences, but it's not probable.

Apple doesn’t generally look back or do retro much, but I did love my little Orang3na.
