they could call it "apple blue" and charge a few bucks a month for it. People love that stuff

They can desaturate the iPhone / MacBook Air users to disambiguate from the MacBook pro / iPhone pro / max users. Also device age in years will add hints of green hue. That way people know they're talking to someone who can afford to spend thousands of dollars on hardware every year.

wait is this where "green with envy" will come from?????

I’d pay for a blue Apple checkmark!

I imagine the next color being purple since that's a sign of royalty. Hail to the king baby!
