A lot of the complainers on the price want to see the same price but with 512GB SSD and 15 GB RAM. They seem to think that people other than them can't use a computer with less. It is the same ole MR rhetoric.

Hands-On With Apple's New Orange M1 iMac

I can distinctly recall when the iMac Pro came out with space gray there wasn't a single complaint about that color. I can't think of anyone who wanted a brighter looking iMac. Even people that didn't even need Xeons and that level of power had the space gray as one of the selling points to justify the price just because we couldn't get it on the regular models.
No question Apple is saving this for their larger iMac reveal.
My experience with the M1 Mac Mini: just awful. wifi, bluetooth and headset/audio issues galore (some might of been third party software). But none the less, not an apple experience at all. I'm going to wait until those three issues are rock solid. Also the 1 hdmi (2160p max) and 1 thunderbolt monitor max was also too restrictive for my taste, on the mac mini.
I find these new iMacs very ugly. There’s just too much going on with the dark colour, pastel colour and white. It’s not about white vs. black bezels. It’s not even really about the two tone. It’s just too much. It would look much better with an ALL white front or ALL dark or light colour front. As it is it’s just a mess… in every colour except silver.
Rest assured that the bigger, faster 30" iMac will have a more subdued silver/grey option.

I think it's too bad it doesn't look like the render MacRumors has been using for iMac related articles up until its reveal.
They removed the MiniSD card slot from previous generations. Let me guess, those slots will only be on "Pro" Macs from now on? 
The dumb thing Apple doesn't realize... is that... a typical $1600 iMac is something that many many Mac users use as an archive and a "backup" for their iPhone photos, iTunes and other data, their Nikon DSLR images, etc. Sure, there is also iCloud. But the Mac (with its terrabytes of storage) is a very convenient place to back up everything from your portable devices, digital and analog cameras, etc. It's also the place where serious photo/video editing happens once you transfer photos from your cameras and phones.
By removing the card slots, they made it less "photography-friendly". Oh right, but someone is going to tell me "Oh but you can just buy a dongle/adapter!"

Nice color. It’s good to see the difference between Apple’s Marketing photos and customer photos/videos.
I want to see what Apple does with the next Mac Mini and larger iMac, but I think I might buy a red/pink 24” iMac.

This is the first time in 20 years that an iMac revamp happens without the father of the iMac's iconic design, Jony Ive.
And it's certainly not going well.

All you price complainers:
Bondi iMac: $1299
The Chin!: $1299

Saw one in an a Apple Store today. The color is really well done. The front of the machine seems like a frosted color. The white bezels look excellent. In person, I can see why they didn't go with black.
It looks very nice in person, and I was absolutely a naysayer when these were announced.
Things always look different in person. The majority of the naysayers here are criticizing it based on website images.
I'd by it if it was $900. The performance improvements are unimpressive. The screen is too small. Not enough ports. Basically, a very expensive stingy offering from a company with more money than god.
