Yeah, the apple logo may be on the back but it should also be on the front still.
Got a tip for us?

While I wish it wasn't there (I've ALWAYS wanted it gone since the iMac G5), I find the chin to almost be iconic. There's no mistaking this for anything other than an iMac, although I wish the Apple logo was there.
I also find the power brick brilliant... the Ethernet plug on it means one less cable cluttering a desktop.
So you were cool with soldered RAM, soldered SSDs, butterfly keyboards, single port on MacBook, single port type on MBPs, the TouchBar (2016), the new Mac Pro price, the new Mac Pro wheels, and the $1K stand (2019)?
I gotcha but you were originally saying that you didn't understand where Apple came up with suddenly making the iMacs in colors. 7 years in the computing world isn't very long. I've been with Apple well over 20 years, since MacOS 8. I've been around when the MacBooks were called iBooks and they were also in rainbow colors.
I don't understand why they won't. It's on the iPhones and now iMacs. While it's cool there, it was still most practical on the MacBook.
Does it bother you on the MAcBooks? I mean, they say MacBook Pro but there is no Apple facing you, only on the lid which faces away
you could upgrade memory on those.
You could crack them open and replace the HD.
And you could overclock them with a simple soldering iron with a pointed tip.
Then you plug it back in and turn it on?
They seriously ruined the design of the iMac. The only thing that I could think of for them to do is to only be able to change the colors on the iMac. Nothing else. But they had to change a lot more.
Apple has ALWAYS had an array of colorful products. I am stunned so many people just don't know this.
Why is everyone saying you must be new to apple?Haha, you must be new to Apple.
Just following up my last post, these are the configurable options for the 7 core GPU version:
- Magic Keyboard with Touch ID
- Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad
- Magic Trackpad
- 16GB unified memory
- 512GB or 1TB SSD
- Gigabit Ethernet
- Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad
- Magic Trackpad
- 16GB unified memory
- 512GB, 1TB or 2TB SSD
Sorry Apple, but those white bezels just look like they don't belong there. Something's not right with Apple here - I'm sure the decision makers at Apple had a lot of different design options to choose from, but why this?
Cool you're paying tribute to the old iMac G3 and 'hello' campaign from 1998, but some things from the 90ies better stay in the 90ies. Like R Kelly came out with "I'm your Angel" in 1998 and clearly he wasn't.
What I do like is that they are bringing some of the unique things back that I used to love about the mac; Magsafe etc.
Hope a 27-32 inch iMac will be launched in more subtle colors...and without the white bezel. Silver with black bezel would work better I think.

Personally I don't think the forthcoming Pro models will come in these crazy colors or have white bezels. I think this is to separate the consumer line from the Pro line just like they did years ago. The Powerbook G4's were titanium and aluminum and the iBooks rainbow colored and later models were white.
you lose all your work. should have battery backup. enough time to power down or plug back in.
but ok i guess in this day and age a lot of data is sent to the cloud or saved in almost real time.
I never said that. Stop putting words into my mouth. What I'm trying to say is that Apple can get deep into colors. You can't assume someone is new to apple because you can't really understand what they are saying.

I take no issue with this statement since you're referring to yourself when you said "to me" before "no one".
I came into the Apple fold when colors were a thing and I think it's about damn time we got something other than beige... I mean black... I mean silver boxes.
I love colors, even if I don't like these colors except for the green and silver ones.
Yeah, but these colors might look pretty artificial as metal. They're better suited to the plastic used here.Yeah but those colors were super cool:
I do agree that some of the colors look good. But the sides were ruined and then they took away the apple logo on the front.
Ha, looks the same as the new one. Rainbow colors with matching keyboard & mouse with white bezels. 😂Yeah but those colors were super cool:
If you are tripping over your iMac cord, you have bigger issues than a backup battery.
Some colors in these photos are a little too extreme.They were thinking of this:

It makes me feel old that there are people who don't know apple used to sell colorful computers. I was using these and the colorful iBooks in elementary school
