New 27-inch iMac Said to Launch in Multiple Colors

[DevNull0]

Apple's upcoming 27-inch iMac will feature a thinner exterior design....

Yep, nothing's more important in a large screen desktop computer than having the thinnest machine possible

This is totally worth losing repairability and upgradability over.

I’d love to see one released in black, or at least a dark space gray.

Yeah, would be nice, but it seems Apple has decided that Space Grey is reserved for all its Pro lines. Such a damn cool looking colour.

 

[sideshowuniqueuser]

It will come in Dull™ and Slightly Darker Dull™, because Apple has decided that professionals lead a drab life that must not have color.

Face it, mate, you're just not as pro as you think you are

But quite frankly, the Slightly Darker Dull™ looks damn bad-*ss, whilst these pastels look like they belong in kindergartens to me. Each to their own, hey.

Plenty of people... like the same sort of people who refuse to buy an LG5K monitor because it's just a hunk of plastic and electronics.

I'm not shopping based on colors, but hey, I wouldn't mind having something cheerful in my workspace. If it's possible to use one of these as an external monitor, there may be a blue or red iMac in my future.

No one is stopping you painting it in any colour you like. My son painted his PS4, and I'm blown away by how well it turned out. Next he wants to get himself an airbrush.

i really hope that this isn't just a bigger imac 24" but with an M2 chip. it would really suck if the imac pro with 5k 120hz miniLED costs $5000

Barring a practical need for Intel, here's hoping I can afford the 2020 27" iMac I'm wanting to get as the design for the 24" iMac doesn't do it for me. Ports and practicality over being too thin to accommodate USB-A.

If nobody stops me from painting my gear, it would be a tragedy. You haven't seen my painting skills. Can I hire your son?

 

[svish]

Wow. Would really be happy if it came in multiple colours. Bright/Darker colours instead of pastel colours!

 

[Cheffy Dave]

Hope i dont bother you with this question lol, what do u mean by "I've learned to dig the colors on the 24"?

He’s learned to like them, dig is a 60’s term, like I dig that song,etc.

 

[ThisBougieLife]

So it's going to have an LCD screen and multiple colors? Does that mean it's just a bigger version of the 24" (i.e. it will be an "iMac" and not an "iMac Pro")? Or will its status as "Pro" depend on the use of the Pro and Max M1 chip?

Remains to be seen, I guess.

 

[Lee Cooper]

Yes, and we will be able to use it as external monitor for any Mac and PC...

The adoption of colors along with conventional backlighting suggests it might not be positioned as an iMac Pro.

Well, the iPhone Pro models also come in colors, so I don't think color options are some sort of litmus test for a "pro" product. And remember that the "non-pro" iMacs used to come in only one color (silver) too. And if there are enough other beefed up specs aside from the backlighting, I can still see it getting the "pro" label.

iPhone Pro comes in colors that everyone expects: essentially a black, white, gold, and a “Pantone color of the year.” In most professional workspaces, a lime green or popsicle orange color isn’t really accepted.

1. We don't know what colors this would be offered in

2. Apple doesn't play by the rules ?

My son is an enterprising young lad, so I have no doubt he'd be up for that.

 

[IllinoisCorn]

Exactly what I think.

In the last few days we have gotten rumors that have said iMacs with miniLED have started production, as well as rumors saying the iMac will have LED instead. We’ve also heard rumors the iMac will share designs more similar to the ProDisplay (thicker chassis with the cheese grater holes in the back) and other rumors saying the iMac will look just like the 24”. I think these rumors are talking about two different iMacs = iMac and iMac Pro.

• 27” iMac - same design as small iMac. Fun colors. M1 Pro/Max chips. Maybe a cheaper M1 chip option too.

• iMac Pro - same design as ProDisplay (thicker with cheese grater holes) but with a chin. Black bezels. Silver/grey colors. (2x) M1 Max chips.

This is interesting, but what is the market for an iMac Pro? Isn't it the same as for the MacPro? I mean, that's why the original iMac Pro was released, right? Two desktop pro machines? Not sure about that.

 

[Lee Cooper]

Well, we can have Pro ant Pro Plus, as the M1, who knows, maybe Pro Plus Extra...

I know it seems silly but just letting everyone know I'm still here holding my breath.

Yea why is it either drab black white silver gray or pastel or so dark it looks like black or gray unless you have a ridiculous amount of light hitting it?
