The latest and ultimate Apple product

As a long-term serial Apple owner, I could not resist their latest product. 

One problem with being an Apple user is that one's expensive purchase so rapidly becomes obsolete and despised - since there is always another whiter, simpler, cooler and more aesthetic product coming-along to supersede that so recently bought at so much expense. 

First they got rid of the bevel around the screen, then the control buttons, then the earphone ports, then the chargers. 

It became shockproof, and waterproof down to a considerable depth. 

Incrementally eliminating the unnecessary; always in search of the plainer, the purer... 

Yet still there remained the problematic clutter of internal components - circuit boards, battery, speaker - and the screen was a vulnerability - easy to scratch or crack. 

And the fear that - just around the corner, was the next generation product that succeeded in eliminating one of the complications that remained. 

But now the end-run has been achieved; my Apple cannot be superseded because it has reached the Platonic ideal of a plain white rectangle of solid hard plastic. 

Nothing to go wrong, nothing left to eliminate. 

Well worth the vast financial outlay - especially considering the excellent block-maintenance and whiteness-tech support available from my local Apple Store.  

At last Apple have achieved the ultimate...

Or have they? 

There is something I don't completely enjoy about the shape of my homogeneous white plastic block.

And indeed I am not certain that it is in fact completely white... There remains the slightest tinge of cream colouration, perhaps? - in certain lights?

A creeping fear is coming over me that further product devolution remains a possibility; that there may be a plainer and purer and more colourless shape; beyond that of my current slab. 

And when it comes onto the market; I will just have to buy it.
