Welp, that’s very disappointing, but I do appreciate this info being leaked out. It would’ve have been a huge disappointment if I was holding my breath for this. I realize Apple tries to spread out the enthusiasm with iterative improvements for the sake of predictable sales growth (which is their prerogative as the far and away leader of consumer electronics), but it would be nice for them to go more all-in sometimes. I’ve been craving an iMac so bad, but I’m going to wait. Maybe I’ll buy a refurbished 21” to hold me over until Face ID is included, not sure yet. But Apple, please, for the love of ‘Social Justice,’ please make the second gen Apple Silicon iMac more than just a Face ID update to make it worth the wait. Thank you!
—like, say, upending the status quo by moving their entire lineup of pc’s from the x86-industry consensus to a radical new take on chip-design within 2 years? 😉🍏👀
Haha, agreed! I love Apple for doing that. I’m just being a bit petulant and wanting everything all at once
Iteration is one of Apple's biggest strengths. A newly redesigned iMac will sell very well, especially with the Apple silicon be it M1 or otherwise. The follow up iMac with Face ID will have another USP to boost sales yet again.
Apple design is fantastic but their marketing is brilliant. It is always exciting to see new products being released but its always in the back of my mind that something even better will be along soon.
You must have access to a healthy amount of money, on a regular basis, if you think of this as “brilliant”.
I’ve been waiting for Apple to “iterate” their asses into selling me a Mac Pro & Retina display that are around the same price point as Mac Pros & displays prior to 2013’s failed Mac Pro experiment and the abandonment of Apple standalone displays...
As for the Touch Bar... it was a solution looking for a problem, that also had the arrogance of being a *replacement* for perfectly useful physical keys, rather than as an additional feature to the pre-existing package.

TouchID was the right choice. Hell, how about giving *us* the choice...
So too was having physical buttons the right choice...
