It seems the Beatles and Apple—or apples—have quite a connection. Shortly after Apple introduced a specially designed Beatles bag for the MacBook last September, a Japanese company released an apple-shaped USB Beatles Box.
But no, it’s not just a boring MP3 player as you may think. Instead, it’s a 100 percent, awesome music collection of songs from the legendary band. With a 16GB memory, the adorable Granny Smith has 14 songs including ‘Help!,’ ‘Yellow Submarine’ and ‘Let it Be,’ as well as some rare old pictures.
With 3 million copies available worldwide, the world’s first USB Beatles Box hit the market in last December with a price tag of 38,740 yen ($428 USD).
