iMac + Apple remote

I assume this is correct, but I also think I've read that the new marks don't have an IR reciever so I don't think a remote will even work with it! Sad times

I guess we'll soon wait and see, but just look what they did to the Retina's looks like that's the direction they're going in

check this out, I think the IR sensor is still there:

i was curious about that as well. because when i ordered my new iMac, i noticed that the apple remote was no longer an optional accessory to add during checkout

Not used remote with my previous iMac, but what did the magnets have to do with it? ( just curious!) did they hold the remote too?

I got that, but the remote ?

Hmmm there is hope then, but i still can't figure out why they would remove it from the retina, but not the iMac. I thought it was due to the fact that apple removed front row and wanted to move away from those, and use an app solution or something...

anyone can confirm if works or not?

In the 'fat' iMac's there are six or so magnets in the bezel that hold the glass/screens to the aluminum body.

How are magnets supposed to hold glass and aluminum together? Both materials aren't magnetic.
