I have to say, under certain circumstances the mini LED display on my iPad Pro is stunning, but I’ve also been pretty disappointed in an equal number of circumstances. I know the long term goal is micro LED more than likely, but it’s too bad OLED doesn’t work out on larger displays or where there could be stagnant content. The display on my 13 Pro feels superior in every way to the mini LED on my iPad Pro. I guess I wasn’t aware of the extent of blooming which is noticeable all the time.

I wish writers would get this right.
Despite being demoed as such, Safari does not (yet) support 120hz.
Also, I seriously doubt this thing will include an HDMI port.
I just ordered a 24" iMac because I can't wait any longer for the new big iMac . . .

Hardware and software companies are going to keep removing features from macOS and iOS to get you to switch to Android or Windows.
Here’s one reason why: Android has no trash can.
If you delete a file on Android, it’s gone forever. If you accidentally delete it, oops, oh well. Sorry you lost the only photo of your Grandmother!
And no one notices because everyone in tech has their shiny new Mac.
Given that Android doesn’t have a trash bin in 2021, and probably won’t in 2022, why would you leave macOS?
I don’t mean to be rude, and I’m not trying to sound hostile, but it should be obvious. iPad looking iMac or not, macOS is going to be King for another decade.

You're gonna do this again? You're showing these nonsense chinless mockups, and then people are going to start expecting it'll actually be like that, then they'll lose their collective minds when it has a chin. The iMacs have a chin because the whole computers is behind that chin, not behind the screen. That allowed Apple to make the main portion (the screen part) thin. They'll likely do that again with higher-end iMacs for exactly that same reason.
If past is any indication, 512GB will be for lowest end with option up to 8TB or so of storage. 1TB should be minimum, but 512GB is probably to keep the cost down, same as lowest end MacBook Pro.
If I write a fix for the Android trash bin right now, and Google buys it right now, it won’t roll out until Android API 33 (2023).
On top of that, it probably will only work from API 29 to API 33.
Amazon Fire 2021 runs API 28.
So, that magic trash can fix doesn’t fix the Amazon FireOS you bought in 2022.
And this is what people were talking about when they said Android is fragmented:

Opting to hold onto an older Mac, because you don’t like the new designs, is not a great gamble.
iPhone 6s barely works and it was released in 2015.
I would buy the iMac 2022 and have peace of mind for at least 5 years.

Found a pic of Tim without makeup:
Thanos snaps his fingers and all Apple products look like iPhone X, discouraging teenagers from acquiring a $5,000 5k iMac.
How very evil.
They are going to need to have a SOC that is better than the M1 Max if they want the iMac Pro to outperform high-end PC desktops the way the new MacBooks Pro easily outperform PC laptops (plugged or unplugged). However, Intel's only sweet spot is having a constant power draw from a wall socket and enough of a chassis to handle thermal dissipation. Intel still produces great benchmarks when power and heat are not limiting factors. Intel is like the gas-guzzling muscle cars of old. Give them enough fuel, throw the engine in a heavy chassis with a loud high-flow exhaust and you can put out enough power to clock an impressive quarter-mile. The desktop PC is Intel's last hope of having a chance against Apple Silicon.

Apple's first augmented and virtual reality headset will need to be tethered to an iPhone for its most advanced features, much like non-cellular Apple Watch models, new chip details suggest.

Yes, because having an industry standard display connector, as used on virtually all modern TVs and most low/mid-range computer monitors, that lets you connect a second up-to-4k TV or monitor is obviously nuts, whereas the current iMac situation - the only two data ports supporting Thunderbolt and USB 3.1g2 "wasted" driving external displays because some bright spark thought it would be a cool idea to create an unnecessary bottleneck by making two unrelated resources share the same port - is perfectly sane.
I see the USB-C Kool Aid still hasn't lost it's potency.
...if the new iMac is only going to have 3 TB ports (likely, given that the M1 Pro/Max only have 3 TB controllers) then some dedicated display ports to keep the TB ports clear for high-speed data would be welcome. Personally, I'd prefer DisplayPort (HDMI is a thing on laptops because of data projectors) but HDMI would be fine for all my existing monitors...
On the one hand, I'm skeptical since the iMac doesn't have a history of HDMI ports and this "rumour" sounds like a re-hash of what the new MacBook Pro turned out to be... but then, on the other hand, most of the specs are going to be based on what the M1 Pro/Max system-on-a-chip can do, so it probably will be essentially a MacBook Pro onna stick...
I think what you have now in Monterey and iOS 15, and this iMac 2022 design, is what you should expect for the next 10 years as everyone plays catch up.

Deal with it. "Pro" is, and always has been, a marketing label that means nothing more than "more expensive than the similar product without 'Pro' in the name". See also "deluxe", "XL", "Plus", and "Turbo" on anything that doesn't actually have a turbocharger.
Actually, it is shaping up to be a bit more logical than before, with the "Pro" label going to machines that have the "Pro" or "Max" versions of the current generation Apple Silicon processor. I'm pretty sure that the lower-end 13" MacBook Pro (the 2-port Intel Mac Pro should always have been just the "MacBook" but they used that for something else) will be going bye-bye once the 2022 Air (maybe renamed the "MacBook") makes it irrelevant.
I was an iOS / macOS engineer from 2010 to 2021. I’m now working 100% on Android.
And I think you’re going to find a lot of industry professionals doing the same thing.
Not because Apple is evil, but because Apple _could_ be evil. Tim Cook is a nice guy, mentored by Steve Jobs.

100% agree. The M1 Pro and Max blow away the competition in Intel's U and H series laptop chips, but as the Alder Lake benchmarks show it will struggle to compete with a top end i9 or Ryzen 5900x. I've heard the argument "Alder Lake is a desktop chip and the M1 Max is a laptop chip" but the M1 is both a laptop and desktop chip in Apple's eyes so it seems clear the M1 Pro and Max are destined for desktops too. Unless Apple sticks two M1 Maxes in the iMac Pro as an option...
I’ve always liked the classic foot on the larger 27” iMacs. Not so much the new 24” foot.
So it’s a good thing it won’t be a ‘HD’ isn’t it.
And it makes perfect sense to offer this on the base model. Not all ‘pros’ are video editors you know.The real shame here is that you can’t upgrade the SSD yourself. SSDs are still expensive, but Apple’s upgrade prices are worse than expensive.
For a desktop, you can easily add external storage and just hide it behind the screen, so it makes sense to have the option to start with 512GB storage to keep the entry price lower. I got a Mac Mini with 512GB because I always use it with external SSDs, so it doesn´t really matter as much as on a laptop, where having external drives is a hassle if you are mobile.
Of course the internal storage will be a lot faster, but it's now at a level that almost no applications actually *need* 4-5GB/s read/write speeds. Even 8K RAW video can be edited from an external SSD, so it's really only the OS that benefits from super-fast internal storage.
No reason Sir Jonathan Paul Ive can’t return, like the second return of Steve Jobs.I was an iOS / macOS engineer from 2010 to 2021. I’m now working 100% on Android.

When Steve Jobs returned to Apple, after being kicked out, Apple was the underdog. Windows nearly had a monopoly.
Steve rebuilt Apple into the world’s most valuable company.
20+ years later, now Apple nearly has a monopoly…
That said, if you’ve been following along, there has been Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, 7, 8, 10, and now 11.
So, it’s not like Microsoft ever left… Still running NTFS in 2021
Or to be very clear, Apple is not going away.

LOL, I didn’t even notice “the notch” for quite a while in your pic. I was too busy staring at the chin. Even now I hardly notice it, I think you can tell I’ve been an Apple customer for a long time. 😉
