People didn't ask for these colours, people wanted to get rid of the chin.

The Former macs were timeless, look at the all aluminium 2004-2010 displays, they were perfect.
Or the cheese grater Power Macs G5/Mac Pro's.
Look at the MacBooks, I don't want colours, just leave it at silver with maybe a space black option, that's it.

These will be a hit with certain businesses believe or not. I find the colours an eyesore but hey who else sells colored desktops

Thanks for the link.

I must admit, the color is really shining. But when watching a movie in dark, these color is annoying.

True, though I wonder how many will actually be watching movies on an iMac as opposed to say their big screen TV. Watching movies on my desktop setup with my office chair has never been a thing for me.
 
If you’d like to have an Apple Logo on the chin, would it be possible to use a 3D printer and have someone make one in a color of your choice with an adhesive backing? Or would that violate Apple’s trademark?
The problem is, the whole font of these new 24" iMacs is made of glass.
In contrary, the old iMac had the chin just made of aluminium.

You just need a simple sticker, if you want an Apple logo on the new 24" iMacs. How that would look is another question.
I don't know, why they didn't make an etching inside the glass or directly on the coloure aluminium chin.
 
Considering the technological constraints* Apple designers had at the time, previous gen iMac design is better. Even though they had to have a chin and larger screen bezel, it still looks modern, balanced and justified.

May be some of us are tired of it because it's been out for such a long time, but I'd guess that this new design is not that future proof to last that long. If I haven't ever seen an iMac, I'd pick the older design.
 
After watching the video, my thoughts are the same - aluminium iMac we've known in recent years is still so much more elegant. Even chin looks bigger without the logo. Adding M1 and color option is nice, that's about it. Really hoping bigger "Pro" version will bring back some of the mature elegance.
 
The production quality of this video is hot garbage. I can’t believe for a minute that Apple picked this channel for an early-look.
 
those pastel colours won't age well...





🤮 that black line ( i know why it is there but Jesus...)

The black border has also been my main complaint about white-colored front plates on older gens iPhones and iPads for years, so annoying and never gets used to it after all this time. That's also the main reason I always went for grey shades.. Thanks God Face ID devices use black display border (regardless of the backplate color). The new iMac is surely a one-step forward and 3-steps backward in terms of design.
 
what apple has to do with this video?
Do you mean, what does Apple have to do with this video? A lot.

They provided this channel with an iMac, under embargo, to review and share later this week. No different from people like iJustine, MKBHD etc.


Ergo, Apple provided the iMac. They CHOSE this channel to go on to share/review the iMac when the embargo is lifted. Why did Apple pick this poor quality channel, is the question.

So basically a biased video then, hence one of the reasons I stopped watching Ijustine, MKBHD etc.
