New iMac With 'iPad Pro Design Language' and Thin Bezels Reportedly Coming at WWDC

[aknabi]

Well they could re-use and follow their design language and just stuff it into a Pro Display XDR package (though that backside ain't cheap so maybe a not-as-slick-lower-cost process there)... oh and they could make it compatible with the $1000 stand to milk some fanboys to pick up some crazy extra margin

So beautiful
Doesn't have the need neither the money but this is so cool !

 

[freddiecable]

Yes! At long last!

My maxed-out, mid-2011 27" has been repaired several times, the last time at my expense for ~ $700 due to a bad graphics card.

However, I was able to install a 2 TB SSD myself for WAAAAY less than Apple charges. it is stuck on High Sierra, but I'm okay with that.

All that said, that'll be my last iMac, and possibly my last Mac.

The iPad is the future, and it is now more than capable to handle my consumer-grade iLife.

Still, I'm curious what post-Jony Ive Apple will come up with, and whether or not this machine will become the "Macintosh" and run on A-series and/or iPadOS.

That is gorgeous, I hope it's accurate! Mind you, I won't be buying an x86 Mac!

Goodbye upgradable RAM in the iMac line

 

[RadioHedgeFund]

If Apple want to transition OSX over to ARM I don’t see why they don’t just build both Intel and ARM into the first few generations of machines to enable 100% backwards compatibility?

 

[guzhogi]

Does this mean the "but those bezels!" contingent will finally quiet down?

No, they'll still complain about the bezels being too big, or at least find something new to complain about.

 

[longofest]

Will they get rid of T2? If so, I'd be tempted.

Oh wait... I'm out of the desktop game. But still...

 

[AndySummers]

Maybe, just maybe, I will upgrade my 2011 model that is still going strong.

I hear you brother. My late 2012 is still pumping along, but then there is the envy!

What does "iPad Pro Design Language" mean?

 

[Vjosullivan]

Ahh here we go! Time for iMac lovers to feast. Now I just have to figure out what to do with my 2019 27”..... Maybe I’ll hold onto it until next year.

I would expect to get a minimum of at least five years service from any computer I bought before I even considered replacing it.

 

[Morgenland]

Hoping it supports Apple Pencil. (I'm an illustrator/painter. Don't hurt me.)

How can you draw on a vertically positioned display? We still use a tablet in addition, of course...

 

[Applex07]

This is my guess for the new iMac!

 

[Mike82]

What does "iPad Pro Design Language" mean?

That it will look like a giant iPad.

 

[Morgenland]

What does "iPad Pro Design Language" mean?

It just means what everybody understands...

If Apple updates the iMac to something more similar in looks to the iPad Pro, it will definitely be something I jump on to replace my office‘s 2013 iMac 21”. Not that it’s not running fine still today, 7 years after first putting it into service, but the lower res screen does get to me, and I find myself using my 12.9” iPad Pro more every day, in large part because of eye fatigue I get when using the iMac.

It would certainly be a great combination having the updated iMac for the office, and iPad Pro for work travel.

This is my guess for the new iMac!

If the stand will stick out like that in front of the monitor this thing will sucks bad.
I hope apple has better ideas.

 

[Morgenland]

I hope Face-ID will be integrated

no they wil use the 720p camera as it’s a tradition. You don’t want to get away from traditions.

Have you ever thought about the required bandwidth for 4K FaceTime transmission of 20 participants all living in small villages around the world? Yes, now you are smarter... Apple just thinks practically...

 

[DeepIn2U]

I’m wet!

I know what got you there ... "No More Fusion Drive". Now don't get the mic wet baby lol. /s

 

[Apple Knowledge Navigator]

Hmmm... I'm skeptical.

It would make more sense for this redesigned machine to be architected for the ARM processor. Why would Apple design it for Intel - both thermally and in logic board layout - only to change it again a year later?

 

[EdT]

thicker for improved cooling ?

The ARM processor running cooler is the response they will probably give about heat. They may be willing to increase thickness a little but I would bet it will not be significant.

Whether ARM efficiency by itself is really enough I have no idea.

It will be interesting if for nothing else to see what Apple do without Jony Ives.
