For those that kept complaining of the missing Apple logo on the new M1 iMac:

Not that I would use them - I don't need stickers on my computer to know it's an Apple.

But since we have some insecure and difficult to change the past folks, let's see how you will sticker up your new iMac ??

Here's the complete unboxing video showing all iMac colors:

This is a total straw-man. No one who would prefer Apple kept the front logo wanted that because they forgot it was an Apple computer or because they're insecure (?). It's because they, like I, believe it looks better and more "complete" (looks awkwardly naked without it, imo). The difference between you and I, though, is I'm not going to personally insult you for having a different opinion about it.

Also, the front logos were inlayed, not cheap stickers. And also much smaller.

Even better. Love the BLACK stickers for the Mac Pro. Now I might have to change up and get the red iMac ... or anyone here can PM me if they want to sell me some stickers.

I absolutely love that it makes perfect sense to create the stickers to fit perfectly on the chin..and Apple DIDN'T DO THAT.

There will be ones on Amazon or something I'm sure made for this, but that is just too funny.

Hopefully skin manufacturers will start releasing black bezel stickers so that everybody is happy!

Do people understand that the Apple stickers are not for the Apple product they come with?
Yes, we do. But in this case, considering the logo was removed, it would have been a nice touch to include the varied colored logos to sort of 'design your own' look on the chin.

Yes, there was a reviewer who tried it.


He puts the sticker on the chin at the 4:25 mark.

I can't believe Apple cocked this up :D

He also goes on about the "white" bezels, but if you think about it - there's no perfect solution. In a light room, the white bezels blend in well - in a dark room they "stand out" (though in that footage I don't find it any more distracting than the stand not being black). If they were black, then they'd "stand out" in a light room. So apparently what we need is for the bezels to be able to change their tone in response to the lighting, LOL! And of course the reverse might be true in either of those situations depending on the actual media being watched. In a daytime scene, the white bezels would blend in well; in a nighttime scene, black would blend in better.

Clear bezels - there’s the answer. No culpability on Apple’s part, because the bezels are merely, minimally functional, revealing whatever on earth is underneath.
