...which was kinda my entire point and not really contradicted by a picture of the side of an iMac...
There will be a huge amount of reviews of the new iMacs with plenty of photos. Probably have to wait until reviewers can get their hands on them, but before long we will be swimming in reviews and pictures.
[Edit: meant to say swimming instead of swinging]

I was using the Apple ][+ in junior high so I know how you feel.
I feel like we will get a better idea of how these iMacs really look in the real world then.
The release pics are simply too small, and all lit the same way. Reviewer pics will help calm a lot of nerves and handwringing here.
I now fully expect a “pro” model will follow with that option.
Mainly to give space for the speakers, by the look of it - but, yeah, it's all driven by the bizarre desire to make a desktop ridiculously thin.
That goofy integrated port is sheer brilliance for those who actually need the iMac wired instead of wireless. No more hanging an ethernet cable off the back onto a desk and down the side of the desk to the jack in the office. BAM, a one meter cable that lies on the floor. Need to take the iMac for service or move people, leave the power brick and move the iMac only.

And all of them have a chin (if you consider the G4's base a chinAll iMacs except the Intel model have had white bezels. So there's actually a *lot* of precedent.
).Perhaps we were all being unrealistic when expecting a chin-less iMac.
Ironically, I remember when they first went black and silver in 2007 it was very HP-ish.
Can't decide if I like the look of these, or if they look like kids toys.
I was hoping for the rumored 32" display, if not another 27' display with the M1X chip. Instead we got a limited choice of just one size, the horrible chin that now really bugs me (without the Apple logo)and a god forsaken white bezel. Apple, you're on a streak! You have disappointed consistently for over a decade now.
Apple today unveiled the new iMac models in seven bright, colorful shades including Blue, Green, Pink, Silver, Orange, Yellow, and Purple, and Apple is including a whole series of matching accessories for each machine.
More expensive iMac models come with a color matched Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad, power cord, and USB-C to Lightning Cable. Lower-end models feature the same accessories with the exception of the Touch ID Magic Keyboard, though an upgrade is available.
The Magic Keyboard features an aluminum base in the same color as the iMac with white keys, while the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad are equipped with a matching colored aluminum base. Both the Lightning cable and the power cord feature a braided design in the matching color, with the power cord also sporting a matching aluminum magnetic connector.
Right now, these color matched accessories are exclusive to the iMac. Apple is not selling the colorful Magic Keyboard with Touch ID or the color Magic Mouse options on a standalone basis.
Pricing on the iMac starts at $1299, and it will be available for preorder on April 30.

If I look at this picture I think the white bezel looks best, especially because of the light color of the housing. It feels fresher and lighter which I think is good for an entry level computer. That said I think a black bezel will look great on a space grey or hopefully graphite or black model.

We're 100% getting an iMac Pro with black bezels
If I didn’t have recent computing and phone equipment, I would totally be talking myself into a new purple iMac and 12 mini.
Exactly this, and a look at the iPod nano design over the years (as well as certain elements of the original brightly-colored iMacs) illustrates exactly this calculus. Apple also has some of the best color stylists in the industry, and they know the spring/summer colors this year are going to be brighter generally than any we have seen in a very long time.
Finally, Apple cares about how their product line colors work with each other, and a dark gray iMac with a black bezel would have stood out like a sore thumb with yesterday's offerings. We'll probably see one in the future, but yesterday wouldn't have been a good time to include such a model.
Yes, and I expect the pro and higher end models will have more a subtle professional look, and will most likely have black bezels. Whereas these are general consumer mass market iMacs. They will sell great too.
It would have been really nice if the iMac was powered via a USB-C so that the Power brick also could have a Thunderbolt port so a big disk drive could be attached off desk.
I bought one of those tangerine iMac in 1998 (?) for £999 in Sctoland. It was a game changer for me.Yeah but those colors were super cool:
So because your Logitech mouse has both worse battery life, and takes longer to charge, the Apple mouse is "not fine"?
For the whole 2 minutes it takes to get an all-day charge? Ye gods, the humanity.
If you charge it fully, the Apple mouse only needs to be charged about once a month. What's your point?
