It’s time for a new iMac, and here are 9 improvements we’d like to see
The current iMac design is positively ancient, by computer design standards. The 27-inch Retina iMac, with its slim design and 5K resolution, was launched in the fall of 2014. It was really only a small tweak on the existing “slim unibody” iMac that dates back to 2012, itself only a thinner version of the unibody iMac design that goes back to 2009.
The basic look and physical features of the iMac have barely changed in a decade.
It’s a testament to the elegance of the design that it’s still desirable after all that time, but it’s well past time for a change. Recently, Apple updated the iMac line (see page 7) with new internal hardware, but the design and features remain fundamentally unchanged.
We can’t tell you what a new iMac should look like (we want Apple’s design prowess to surprise us!) but we can describe some feature gaps we really want to see addressed.
