While I am somewhat desperate to replace my 16" MBP (which I despise), this update is 'meh'. I will wait for ARM iMac.
Got a tip for us?

You were too smart with your 2015 machine and now again pricing one. Cheers.
Yep, the more powerful lineup will be the last to move to
silicon. I bet they start with form factors more similar to iPad; small laptops and mac mini.
At least if you need a new IMac you can get a pretty capable machine, just watch the options as the price goes up fairly quickly.
Even a broke as f*** clock is right twice a day.

And Apple has been living with Intel not producing promised chips for years as well, and they are going to be releasing their Arm based computers starting next year. The people who either don’t want an Arm based CPU or literally can’t use one because they can’t dual boot Windows may be interested in this computer, but if you can wait at all and you intend to stay with Apple then you’re not buying this anyway. I do think that a lot of people will jump back to Windows because of the end of Mac X86 compatibility. I don’t need a new computer right now, so I don’t care if the design is 11 years old. I will wait and see what the consequences of an Arm iMac will be and decide my future computer based on what limitations and benefits are actually there.
You probably need to go find and look at an old tube tv to remember what those were really like
- Agreed with others, major redesign will be saved for ARM macs.
- I expect those iMacs will take design cues from the newer iPads / 2020 iPhones.
- Those bezels need to be reduced by at least half. If Apple can do it with an iPad and fit everything like cameras, sensors, etc in a bezel of that size, they can with an iMac.

Barefeats will likely have them up soon enough once units are shipping.
haha come on buddy. it is not a $50 saving. If you're doing real work and need 128GB of RAM, that would be $2600. The OWC price for 128GB? $599. Apple are charging 4.3x more. And OWC RAM is certified to work on Macs.
The HDR page is still from 15 July so there might be an update adding the 2020 iMac 5K soon.
I often see $300+ up charges for 16GB if RAM for the Lenovo’s I order for work (obviously I just upgrade them myself). This is a standard practice in the industry.
Show me the incredible Apple Silicon GPU performance before dancing about Intel demise. But I won’t argue, it could have been a new design, at least with internal heat dissipation like the pro model, that’s my first question with all the new parts?
Everyone in forums like this still banging on about the 'tired' design. With the exception of the bezels (which hopefully will be reduced in the re-design) there's nothing tired about it.
It's a CLASSIC piece of product design that will go down in history as such. Most regular consumers still look at the iMac and think 'That's a gorgeous piece of design'. Very few PC designs even today look as good.
