Neither of which were options on the 21.5-inch Intel iMacs, which this 24-inch M1 iMac is replacing.

I don’t understand the backlash. So what if it has a “chin”? It’s a beautiful design and in my opinion is a huge leap forward for the iMac. I absolutely love it and will probably end up purchasing one.
There is. It's moved to be on the power adapter.
As a person who did IT when the first colored iMacs were out, you will absolutely see these in professional environments. Especially professional environments that are creative houses (design, photography, film, etc.)
It may well sell but I think this will be a moment in Apple's history when they wonder why it went so wrong.
That white chin... Really, once you see it you can't un-see it.
Like it or not we all want the look to be at least a certain way that it does not detract from what you are doing on screen. I can't see how that white chin will not cause an issue that you just won't get used to.

White bezels.
Let me just kill myself real quick and check if that makes it any better.

I don't mind the chin. It gives character. A chinless computer is a kind of teethless, would look oddThe chin... why?
Guys...there’s clearly going to be a “power user” model. This is the entry level device. I suspect WWDC is going to show off the power MacBook Pros and power iMacs...I think these are neat for your average consumer, and more than enough power for them.
It’s also to do with Apple unwilling to design better cooling in the iMac.

I'm thinking @ WWDC we get: 32" iMac Pro, 14" MacBook Pro, 16" MacBook Pro all with M1-X. Time to step above the M1... especially now that its in the iPad Pro.
Lol. This is so funny. This is replacing the 21 inch. Not the 27. They even said that. This is for students people who work at home etc. Not professional offices. You need the chin for cooling. How do you expect to cool the device. If there was no chin the back would be super thick. And I would rather have a chin and lots of people don’t really care. There is a redesigned 27 inch coming. Like it’s not that hard to figure out. The macrumors people are so funny. They live in their own bubble and act like they are the target market for these products
