I bought a pair of Apple Design Powered Speakers with my Power Macintosh 8100/80AV (CPU: 80 MHz, RAM: 16 MB, HD: 500 MB) in 1994, and used them until 2002 when I switched to an iMac G4 which had a dome-shaped bottom. The Apple Design Powered Speakers still function, so I am now connecting it to my MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) whose internal speaker has developed noise.
The grille of the Apple Design Powered Speakers happens to be made of steel (not stainless), so it is ferromagnetic. I gooped a ring-shaped rare-earth magnet onto the iPhone, cut a hole through an iPhone case to expose the rare-earth magnet. This way, the iPhone also attaches to a steel corner bead hidden inside the drywall structure, to a plastic surface of refrigerator's front door which has a steel sheet underneath the plastic sheet, etc.
Also shown is a retractable sound reflector for the iPhone. When the sound reflector is not in use, it can be pushed into the narrow gap between the iPhone and the case. Now, the sound from the iPhone is much better, especially high-frequency sounds in the audio spectrum which tend to escape straight ahead rather than reaching my ears. Yes, I do sometimes listen to 2 sounds at the same time, one from the Apple Design Powered Speakers, the other from the iPhone.
So, the 25-year old Apple Design Powered Speakers are still serving me well with the MacBook and the iPhone.
Thank you very much for your attention.
