When Cupertino Stumbles: Apple's Most Hilarious Design Disasters

Apple is the undisputed king of elegant tech, but its quest for aesthetic perfection has occasionally birthed some legendary design disasters. From the 1980 Apple III, which overheated so badly memory chips literally popped out, to the infamous "hockey puck" mouse that sacrificed ergonomics for a perfect circle, Cupertino has had its fair share of facepalm moments. Who could forget the iPhone 4 Antennagate, where Steve Jobs told users they were just holding it wrong, or the butterfly keyboard that a single speck of dust could destroy? And of course, the crown jewel of design absurdity: the Magic Mouse 2, which charges from the bottom, forcing it to lie on its back like a dead turtle. These blunders prove that even the world's most valuable tech giant occasionally prioritizes form over function, sometimes with hilarious results.
