The Only Good Easter Eggs Are Whole-Assed Easter Eggs

Marcin Wichary on the original iPod easter egg on Apple Music’s website 404 page:

I am usually not a fan of easter eggs — most of them are poorly made — but this might be the best iPod recreation I’ve seen, and it’s an interesting thing to study:

• I think it generally covers all the modes etc.
• (with small exceptions) the typography looks accurate,
• it has the little “haptic” beeps,
• it has proper acceleration and the scrollbar,
• it has a little music library with various playlists,
• I have only noticed a few small bugs.

It looks real, sounds real, feels real. Don’t bother with your easter egg idea if you’re going to half-ass it.
