    "prompt": "Ultra-realistic 3D render of a {product_placeholder} reimagined as if it were designed and manufactured in 1984 by Apple Computer. The product keeps its original form, function, and purpose fully intact — all functional elements remain true to what the product actually does. If the product has a screen, keep it as a full working screen. If the product has a flame, keep the flame mechanism. If the product has laces, keep laces. If the product has a lens, keep a lens. Do not remove or replace any core functional element — instead, translate the MATERIALS and AESTHETIC into 1984 Apple Macintosh era design language. The entire product body is remade in warm beige-cream (#E8DCCA) injection-molded matte thermoplastic with soft rounded edges, visible mold seam lines, and subtle chamfers typical of early 1980s Apple hardware. Where the original product uses metal, use brushed warm-toned metal with a slightly aged patina that fits the 1984 era — metallic elements are allowed and encouraged where the real product has them, but styled as vintage brushed aluminum or aged chrome rather than modern finishes. Screens and displays show 1-bit black-and-white bitmap pixel graphics — MacPaint-style interface, Chicago bitmap font, pixelated icons, early Mac OS windows — but the screen itself retains its original size and shape from the real product, with a warm beige plastic bezel frame around it and a subtle convex CRT glass curvature. Physical controls are translated into 1980s mechanical equivalents — tactile clicky switches, rotary dials, sliding toggles, ribbed thumbwheels — but only where the real product already has controls. Ports become era-appropriate: thick serial connectors, ADB ports, SCSI-style plugs. Ventilation slots and perforated speaker grilles in beige plastic where appropriate. A small 3.5-inch floppy disk drive slot integrated somewhere natural on the product body. The six-color rainbow Apple logo (1977-1998 horizontal stripe version) appears exactly once in a prominent location. Subtle aging — very faint yellowing, micro-scratches, warm patina of well-kept vintage electronics. The product should feel like a real product Apple actually could have shipped in 1984 — functional, considered, authentic to both the original product's purpose and the Macintosh design language. Soft even studio lighting on a clean warm off-white (#F5F0E8) background with subtle soft shadow. Product centered in frame, fully visible, never cropped or cut off. No text overlays, no watermarks, no additional objects, no props, no stands, no hands. Photorealistic, 8K resolution, product photography, square 1:1 aspect ratio.",
