  • New & colorful 27-inch iMac starts production, reportedly won't have mini LED

    I’m pumped! I’ll be repeatedly refreshing Apple’s store page on announcement day. 

    I don’t get why most ppl would want anything bigger than 27”. You know you’re siting right in front of it, right?? I have an older 21” and even that is plenty big for everything I need. 
    As a 27” iMac 5k owner, Ive had this since 2016. 
    It now feels small. I use it far more often than my MBP simply because of screen size and clarity. 

    It felt huge when I first bought it. Like an exotic item from the future. 

    As a multimedia designer, the 27 inch screen is nice to see the fine details as I create. 

    But that was jumping up from a a laptop screen. 

    Now, having much more experience with intricate design and hardware, the 27 inch screen feels cramped. 

    The 27 inch size was exotic 6 years ago. Now it’s just ok. 

    Apple coming out with a long awaited redesign is great. But it will be so disappointing to be stuck at 27”. 

    It’s fine for a lot of people. But it’s not special anymore. And it’s not big anymore. 

    For those who want it, 27” will be great. 

    But a great many folks want more. Thankfully, it seems Apple will be giving us a 32 option also. 

    Heck, Apple used to sell a 30” Cinema Display forever ago. It’s 2022! Time to move up. 
    Very interesting hearing your perspective. Thanks for articulating it so thoroughly. Makes a lot of sense.

  • Suppliers now providing parts for 27-inch mini LED Apple Silicon iMac Pro

    That sounds fantastic. I’m excited for this thing to come out! Makes sense to me for them to keep 27”, which is more than big enough to do regular things like creating presentations and casual media editing. Save the 30” for the separate monitor(s). Really hoping we get at least one color option like deep purple, green, or maroon.

  • Apple Silicon iMac Pro coming Spring 2022, no 'iPhone Fold' until 2023 analyst says

    I don’t understand this folding phone nonsense. Are the planning to make the phone twice as thin?
    Apple must be trolling the competition. I don’t see how it’s possible to have a folding screen that doesn’t show wear/distortion, and is still sleek and durable. Apple should release some rumors about making modular phones to get google to spin it’s wheels again with project ara lol

  • Apple TV+ drama 'Servant' renewed for its fourth & final season

    Definitely looking forward to seeing where this goes. Takes some patience initially, but worth it imo. Also, the Apple pizza promotion was pretty cool.
