In the last 15 years, Apple products went from wow to meh. Jobs was a bold leader aiming to leave the competition behind, whereas Cook is a conservative manager hardly keeping up with the market.
Agreed. Hell I'd take an iMac G3 over an M5 MacBook Pro! iMacs are Apple's best product and they revived the company from near bankruptcy.
Well, apparently there is demand for 24" iMacs or they wouldn't keep making them. I've bought two (M1 and M4) myself. Gotten plenty of work done on them too, here in the mid 2020s. Not everyone wants or needs a battleship on their desk.
(I know some people do, but those people also tend to want more powerful Macs than the iMac tends to be, so they buy high-spec Minis or Studios or MacBook Pros to use with big displays.)

I don't care what features it has, if it only comes as a 24" model.
FFS, at least 27" and better yet 32" iMac should be a thing at least as options.
Also actual colourful models not the paste garbage of today. I don't care how good they look from the rear. I am using the computer from the front.

Exactly, which is why it can never deliver the crisp experience of an iMac screen.
Yes this would be awesome, but I don’t see possible if the iMac has 100w thunderbolt ports. The actual iMac uses around 20w under most circumstances if I recall correctly, but the reason it has a 143W power supply is to supply 100W at the thunderbolt ports.
Well, the point is to have you spend that $1.5k on the studio display...
For Apple the burn-in is a feature not a drawback.
It’s called the Studio Display. Anyone who is serious about screen size / quality will have a separate computer and display for one very good reason.
The 27” iMacs turned into a nightmare usability wise. 5-10 years later you’re stuck with a still gorgeous display you love and a multiple generations behind computer showing its age. I had to do the Frankenstein’s iMac mod just to keep using the display with a newer computer.
Meanwhile the 24” iMac is just an appliance. Kind of like the 2013 21.5” one in my kitchen I use to watch stuff while I’m cooking.
Gonna be a gorgeous machine.
I panic bought a pc laptop with an OLED screen as a backup and had no idea I would love the screen so much.
Video and gaming just POP.
I would be concerned about burn in, though. My mom has a 24 inch imac and basically only uses it for email and light web surfing.

I find it funny that a lot of people are sh***ing on the 24" display size. I find it luxurious.
In fact my favorite display size is 21.5". Anything larger and it tires me. Anything smaller and it's too small.
I use my desktop for work (and some play), not as a cinema. I don't want to feel immersed or lose myself in my display. I want to dominate it. It is just one of the tools in front of me that I use to get my work done.

I really hope the upcoming new iMacs don’t look like that. What we need is for the new iMacs to have a notch and rounded screen edges—which are also asymmetrical (modern 90-degree screen edges at the bottom, and 1950s CRT television rounded screen edges at the top)—just like literally every single display on the current MacBook line! Tim Cook is so wonderful and can do no wrong!

When Apple brings back the 27" iMac, they *might* get some business from me.

Mine is glossy. Which I don't mind, since I keep my place dark. Very much like a cave.
