Apple Announces Redesigned iMac With M1 Chip and Seven Color Options

Same M1 from 6 months ago, hideous colors, no larger model, no Face ID.
What a gigantic disappointment.
What a gigantic disappointment.
I'd rejoice with you, but now 1080P is outdated for a camera. Everyone is pushing to 2K and 4K cameras. Still will take it over the unforgiveable 720P they milked forever.
Because this is meant as a computer for consumers. That's why it has the same M1 CPU, that you can find in the other M1 macs.
The "bigger" computers will probably be announced in Fall (October/November 2021) with more powerfull Apple ARM chips.
How do you not get it You realize that we are going to get a new iMac that is bigger more ports more powerful and more professional. This is good for most people. Lol. Not every machine is made for macrumors fanatics. This is meant to replace the 21 inch. Not the 27.
So the brand new iMac runs the same chip as a new iPad Pro? lol "that's just ridiculous' indeed
Now, this camera/resolution will stay with Apple users for about 5 years. At least. So don't worry, be happy. And have you wallet ready.

Agree with your complaint.
This shows the same design mistakes about "connectivity" that the 2016-2019 MacBook Pros had (and which looks to be getting fixed with the upcoming 14"/16" MBP's).
Looks like "the chin" is here to stay with iMacs, for at least the next 5-7 years.
No upgradeable RAM -- the larger-sized iMac that is yet to be announced probably won't have upgradeable RAM, either. I reckon this has to do with the "unified memory" of the m-series CPUs. Non-upgradeable and non-repairable.
These would still be attractive machines for many users and some corporate environments that still use Macs.
I won't be getting one.
Edit:
OK, ethernet in the power brick. Actually, this is a wise move, moving the power supply (with its heat) to an external unit. If the power supply fails at some point, replacement is easy.
They should do this with the larger iMac, too.

Ugh, I was ready to buy this before even seeing it. But no 27" display?!? No vesa mount option?? Guess tall people are screwed. 7 ugly COLORS AND NO SPACE GREY?!? Wish they made the bezels smaller and got rid of the bottom bezel, even if it were thicker, who cares about speakers?! This isn't a portable device, who cares about thickness, I wanted a cleaner front. Any why get rid of the Apple logo on the front?! The price is good, but they just f'd a giant segment of their iMac customers. And without any reasonably priced non-pro Apple monitors, my only option is an iMac mini with a 3rd party display at this point if I want an M1. Seriously WTF Apple!?!
This should be great for shareholders as these should sell well to their customer base. But I think that most here will wait for an M1X system.
These will be massive success to mainstream instead of tech enthusiasts. I will pick one up for the inlaws. They will absolutely love it.
Also the magsafe and the ethernet plug into the power brick is brilliant

Rubbish, no choice at all. Wonder if we’re going to have to wait for an iMac Pro for no chin and bigger screen size
Waste of money get yourself a Mac mini doesn't make sense for the same performance, might as well wait for more performances based iMac that is faster. Typical apple using the same chip for everything....
We waited 10 years to get rid of bloody bezels and chin. What did we get?
They just removed apple logo from the chin.
Hideous beyond belief.

That same chip is a powerhouse that Apple is ABSOLUTELY going to milk for all its worth.
No 27” version, it’s a no from me. Oh well, saved some money.
