Today was in the spirit of various jokes, even from the biggest companies in the world such as Google, Amazon, BMW or even T-Mobile. A lot of them then showed products that looked really sophisticated and it was often hard to tell if it was an April Fool's joke or a real product. Let's show you a selection of the most successful ones that are somehow related to Apple and its products.
How AirPods are grown
Directors Ben Fischinger and Ryan Westra took care of one of the most successful Apple-themed jokes. In their video, they show how AirPods are actually made and that growing them requires special care.
The mother of all USB-C hubs
Popular accessories manufacturer Hyper took aim at MacBooks and their limited connector equipment. He thus presented the "mother of all USB-C hubs", which does not lack nine USB-A and USB-C ports or even a floppy drive.
MacBook and lunch to go with it
SOCIETY Twelve South, which also specializes in accessories for a range of Apple products, has unveiled its latest addition – the BookBook Bento. It's a case for a MacBook in which you can also hide your lunch.
Skin for AirPower
With its April Fool's joke, the well-known company dbrand took a dig at Apple and its canceled AirPower. Although the wireless charger won't eventually go on sale, that won't stop dbrand from making money off of it. He therefore added to his official website tool, where you can create your own skin for AirPower. Where you stick it is entirely up to you.

At LEGO, they were inspired by the Find My iPhone function and introduced the Fin My Brick application.

The most transparent packaging in the world
Minimalist transparent iPhone cases are very popular among customers, mainly due to the fact that they preserve the design of iPhones. Tech21 therefore decided to create the most transparent packaging in the world.
Modern phone booth
Calling from an iPhone on the street through all the surrounding noise can often be a problem. T-Mobile therefore comes up with a solution in the form of a modern phone booth. All you have to do is close it and you have undisturbed peace of mind for a call.
Google Tulip
Google has managed to decode the tulip language and its Google Assistant, which is also available on iOS among others, now understands Tulip. Just say "Hey Google, talk to my tulip" and you can ask your tulip what it is missing.
Cleaning displays quickly and easily
And once again, Google. This time, it comes with a brand new function for the Google Files application, which can now use vibrations to clean the screen of dirt.
