I’ve had a pet theory that the company has spread its wings after Jonny Ive left.
More practical designs
Thicker, more performing machines
Higher quality and durability at the cost of thickness
Colors again?!
It’s possible, perhaps even likely that this was planned before Ives departure. But we are seeing a massive sea shift in the way Apple designs their gear. The old mantra was “thin and light before all else”
Now it seeks back to “make stuff people love”
- twobitshifter 6y agoI think yesterday’s iMac shows that they haven’t given up on thinness.
- imwillofficial 6y agoThinness at the expense of all else is what I meant. I don’t see where they compromised to get that thin. However compared to MacBooks with the butterfly keyboard, Apple introduced more than one laptop that had useability issues due to the drive for shedding weight and centimeters.

- imwillofficial 6y agoGood catch
- sjwright 6y agoI suspect that new iMac design has been in the can for years, waiting for the technology to catch up. And it’s a consumer device anyway; the real test will be whether the “M1X” serious iMac is inflicted with arbitrary thinness or if it will be designed with serious users in mind.
