By the way, I noticed something interesting on the Maclock sticker,

On the rainbow X, there’s a small boundary between the green and yellow stripes.

It made me think about the classic Apple rainbow logo… and suddenly it clicked for me.

Did anyone else notice what’s going on there? 🙃

LOL. I read it as MAC LOCK, not MA CLOCK. Funny. Yes, I've seen that gizmo before. Never knew about a sticker though. But it raises the question why the sticker is an X.

In any case, the gap in the colors could easily be explained as a Chinese manufacturer saying something like, "See. We aren't copy Apple's 6 colors. We have a gap!" :)

There's a gap between the leaf and the apple in the real logo, so...

I bought a MaClock from RayCue and it had a logo on the front (that I didn't want). Kokogol.com said theirs didn't have any logo on the front, and they were honest - same hardware, even the same instruction sheet, etc. Just no logo on the front, and some different wording on the box.
