I guess that means the redesign is being saved for ARM which makes sense.
I know the design is way past a refresh, but I’ve got one on my desk now and its still a great all-in-one desktop machine - I don’t really spend much time focusing on the bezels when I’m using it.

The spec updates and SSD as standard(finally) make these really compelling machines. And even 128GB RAM in the top config. Really solid all round and a great last hurrah from the Intel iMac.
ARM macs aren't ready yet, which is where we'll see the redesign. If Apple didn't refresh the internals, people would complain. Apple did refresh the internals, and people still complain.
Always great to see new Mac models. Hope the Apple Silicon ones will really be something as well.
Why do you think Apple is moving away from Intel?
I want an iMac that runs Mac OS that has a stand that lowers the screen to operate in a iOS mode with a touch screen on an A series chip and functions like an iPad with Apple Pencil.
Why not 4k webcam like the iPhone has 1080 is still poor
Better prices, and with SSD.
Imo, since Apple Silicon is a lot into low power consumption, it makes sense that their priority is upgrading the portable computers first.

"Apple(R) today announced a major update to its 27-inch iMac(R). By far the most powerful and capable iMac ever"
Epic troll. With the offered base amount of RAM, it can't even handle Kubernetes alone.

Will be intresting to see the nano-texture glass version, not suprised about no redesign the Intel processors do throw some heat out and it's got to be cooled some how.
I know why they’re moving away. But this iMac has an Intel chip. So a large bezel makes perfect sense for this iMac.
They shouldn’t reduce the bezels before the chip change.
Still the best looking all-in-one by far though.
Good lord. I had no idea people could be so bothered about an AIO featuring an old design. It’s the last Intel refresh, and it’s got some goodies in there (nano-glass texture should be interesting to see).
yes, using a monitor that has slim bezels is nice and makes it more enveloping. you don't need to make excuses for apple. Slim bezels improve user experience in a desktop space greatly. This is more than likely the last refresh before apples own chips and the redesign. Pushing out the last of the inventory.
I know, I'm just pointing out this is why the MacBooks suck with power handling. It's not Apple's fault and has nothing to do with the iMac having large bezels. Smaller design with inefficient chips = more heat. It's not rocket science, on an iMac there is more wiggle room for better fans etc.
Are we still expecting another Intel mac after this?
I don't look very good in 4k ... can we keep it at 480i?
That nano texture screen, do you need that special cloth to clean the screen like the XDR display has?
Never been a fan of integrated machines. Monitors and cpu guts should be separate.
So I have to wonder - when Tim said they still have Intel macs on the roadmap...was this it?
I don't see Apple putting Intel into a new iMac body. All the notebook lines are ripe for a design refresh. The only thing left is the Mac Pro, which I could see them keeping Intel/ASi options available there (Just because there is easily enough space + cooling to accommodate any processor variation.
