So tell us please what you need more than 512 GB for. And since it’s a desktop, why you can’t use an 8TB external SSD and an external 14TB hard drive for backup.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Announces Redesigned iMac With M1 Chip and Seven Color Options

Probably reserved for the 27". Space Gray seems more like a high end/pro. The iMac never got it but the iMac Pro did.
This is a CONSTANT comment from people, and its really irritating seeing it ALL....THE.....TIME. Not everyone needs more than 256. My work computer is 256.
How about, instead of putting the M1 in the display, they ditch all-in-ones and go back to separate display and cpu? The display would only need one wire to bring power and video and look great, with all the other cables and peripherals connected to the cpu.
And how does an iPad fit a battery in there with no chin, while the iMac doesn't have a battery and will crash if unplugged from power. There is no benefit to an all-in-one or line-powered anything anymore, it is just a vestigial fetish at this point.
You can, but you first have to pass the test. The one where you have to find the 16GB option on their website. If you can’t find it, you can’t be trusted with that much RAM.Can we still upgrade the RAM...?! Only 8GB..
I am not going to buy a desktop that is limited to 16G RAM forever. I thought that Apple has some better silicons
I don’t get the colour complaints.
ok you wanted space grey, despite it never being offered on a consumer level iMac before. Sorry.
or you wanted plain silver aluminium. Great news it comes in silver at all price points.
but no other colours... huh? Why do you care if it’s available in more colours than you want? Do you also complain because a restaurant has items you don’t eat the menu ?
It’s also suitable for men with confidence in their masculinity.
I heard one of the living ex-presidents ordered one in orange to match his ... ahem ... lifestyle.

Some people <cough, spouse, cough> like white screen bezels. There's no accounting for taste.
You have a high-end iMac. Apple just release a replacement for the low-end iMacs. Why would you think anyone at Apple expects you to replace your high-end iMac with a low end model, just because it’s a lot better than previous low end iMacs?
BTW It’s April. Seven months after Apple announced to replace all Intel Macs with Silicon, they have replaced all low-end Macs now. Eight more months in this year.
Don’t even need to be confident in it, just not attach it to inanimate objects
Yeah. I mean some people might be plugging and unplugging headphones all day - but I thought Apple wanted us all using AirPods to seamlessly switch between devices. Its not a deal breaker - it just seems an odd compromise to make. The depth of the body is probably part of it too, but still....
That other colours should not be available?Relax, it's just an opinion.
it’s true what they say about opinions.

Agreed. I would have liked white as well. Out of these, though, I'd go with timeless silver or green (I LOVE the green iPad Air).
I read about 10 pages, and I gotta say, some of the complaints are silly.
"This is a garbage machine because I want/need 27"!" Well, OK, that's fine. I missed the Apple announcement where they said that this was the largest screen they were ever going to put on an iMac ever again. (related complaint is other features that are no doubt coming in the next iteration that aren't in this one, so therefore it's garbage)
"I hate all of the colors, included the silver that has been the only color you could get non-Pro iMacs in for over a decade, and is the same color as my last three Macs, iPhones and iPads!"
"It's limited to 16gb of RAM, and I need (32? 64?). Have you read any of the articles and reviews about the current M1 Macs over the last 5 months? 16gb on an M1 appears to be about the same as 32gb on an Intel Mac, which is fine for 99% of Mac users and probably 99.9% of "smaller screen" iMac users. Most (not all) of the people who are complaining about the limited amount of RAM will be fine with 16gb. I'll bet most of them would be fine with 8gb.
