I was watching an older TV show the other night, and there was one of the white iMacs sitting on a desk, which made me so nostalgic. Still my favorite iMac of all time, especially that keyboard!I would LOVE a white! SO APPLESQUE!

Who cares about colors and miniLED display.Who cares about colors?
The biggest takeaway from the Digitimes article is “the device will not come with a miniLED display as previoulsy speculated, according to industry sources.”
The adoption of colors along with conventional backlighting suggests it might not be positioned as an iMac Pro.
Actually, the issue was that on the original 5k iMac Thunderbolt 2 didn’t have enough bandwidth to drive the whole display (the displays at the time required two displayport connections)
I think that by the time the bandwidth issues were solved, Apple was balls deep into working on Apple Silicon, so they probably didn’t work on getting TDM up again.The lack of bandwidth was part of the issue, but the TB3/4 specs addressed the bandwidth part of the equation. There's still more to it. I don't know this well enough to be able to explain. I considered getting an eGPU at some point and disappeared down the rabbit hole of why 5K monitors were problematic and why only the BlackMagic eGPUs could drive an LG 5K Ultrafine even though there were other eGPU enclosures that had TB3/4 ports and bandwidth.
Not sure about this. Why would Apple increase the base iMac from 21.5" to 24 to then only bring out a 27". There's hardly enough size difference. Surely makes more sense to have a 24" iMac and a 30ish "Pro" or at least the pros are the 27".
It will come in Dull™ and Slightly Darker Dull™, because Apple has decided that professionals lead a drab life that must not have color.
Professionals want to focus on what is on the screen. This is even more important if you are doing precise color correction and such. From what I understand, the people doing the color correction for the original Matrix movie had a green bezel on their screen. Look what happened.It will probably be silver, space gray, and dark space gray (still, multiple colours).
It depends on the size. If you are going from a 1 inch screen to a four inch screen, it's a huge difference. If you are going from a 1024 inch screen to a 1027 inch screen, not so much.27-24 is 3 inches.
Do you see a difference in size between a 13 inch MBP and a 16 inch? Because that's 3 inches too, and there is a huge difference in screen size and cost in those 3 inches.
Considering it’s been missing from iMacs from 2015 onward I doubt Apple will be bringing this feature back.Any hint on when target display mode returns?
I don´t think so. They will not use the space grey again because they removed the external keyboard from the shop half a year ago. The last intel MacMini was in space grey as well and the latest M1 is silver again. This could be a sign...
Especially, when the rather neutral silver was always an option. It boggles the mind that a lot of people managed to completely ignore that. ?You are of course correct , but if you read the MR echo chamber you would believe that color is for computer toys , why would ppl hate color is beyond me.

The combination of recent reports on the display and 'colors' leads me to believe there will be 2 new 27" iMacs introduced .. The regular 'consumer' one with LCD and color options ... essentially a larger version of the 24" AND a new Pro model with miniLCD, and likely a more pro 'business' color silver/gray.
It’s almost criminal to ship these kinds of displays which will almost surely outlast the internals.Considering it’s been missing from iMacs from 2015 onward I doubt Apple will be bringing this feature back.
