i feel like this imac design is a kind of statement somehow... its interesting that apple at their most desperate was so risk-taking and bold with designs, but now when they are so successful the boldness is more on the inside (m1, neural engine etc) than outside....
- MBCook 2y agoDesktops provided a lot more room to try things. Now that everything is laptops it’s pretty clear why you might want to just make a very simple design. Apple did make the trashcan Mac Pro, but of course that ended up having problems and was made at just the wrong time. The newer models harken back to the cheese graters but with fancier holes and a smaller overall size. A new version of that Mac as an iMac with a bigger screen would be amazing. But given screen sizes maybe it would need a really heavy weighted base to survive well.

- trinix912 2y agoI'd say it's the shift from the Apple trying bold things to grab the attention and not go under (with Jobs as the CEO) to the current Apple just trying to keep the status quo and positive reviews.
