9 Reasons We Hope Apple Doesn't Buy McLaren
This week, it was rumoured that Apple was in talks with McLaren about a possible takeover. The reports were soon quashed by McLaren itself, and while that doesn’t rule out the possibility entirely, it’s probably best it doesn’t happen. After all, who knows what sort of ‘innovations’ Apple might bring to the McLaren stable given the chance.
These are the sort of things we’d have to look forward to…
Sat navs pre-loaded with Bono's voice
Yep, even if you didn’t ask for it.
Wheels that aren't even connected
Just like earphones, wheels have always been attached to the car. Which makes sense. But if Apple got involved…
Hilariously fragile windscreens
McLaren service centres replaced with Genius Bars
McLaren 650S Plus - 20% larger for no apparent reason
Apple Maps loaded as standard
Expect to get lost. A lot. While Bono shouts at you.
Fuel filler cap moved underneath the car
Because having it in an easy-to-reach area is just too mainstream. Also, you’d only be allowed to use official Apple fuel pumps. And they’ll change the nozzle every couple of years, so you’ll have to buy an adapter.
Chronic overheating
New line of 'Beats By Ron Dennis' headphones launched
Actually, maybe this one wouldn’t be so bad…

Remote Bluetooth wheels 😂👌🏾
The engine bay wont open either! Anything wrong with is has to be sent to the factory regardless of size or difficulty of failures
They’ll remove something important like the engine or steering and replace it with something like “Airengines” or “Airsteering”
It’ll ask for your iTunes password every time you unlock your car, and accidentally might leak your nudes to the Internet.
WILL ALL THE CARS HISS
Autocomplete steering system
It wouldnt have a rear window, instead a sheet of carbon fire(or so)/covered cause they would claim it to be unwanted just like the headphone jack… Fr iPhone 7
YOU CAN PUT TECHNOLOGY IN NEW MCLARENS ON OLD MCLARENS!
It will explode once in a while as well because before the whole Samsung incident, apple had the most exploding devices!
If apple buys Mclaren they should rename the company to “Maclaren”
