    Desperate for a larger iMac refresh.

    What does the Armchair-Predictor reveal?
    I just want an M1 iMac without a white border on the screen, don't care what size it is. Maybe I'm just too particular, but I'm surprised the white border didn't bother more people. It's jarring when the computer is off, or when watching a show (what TVs have white borders?), or when in dark mode, and even when the screen is on you still have that thin black border. Maybe this is just a preference thing, or maybe my feelings actually reflect objective aesthetic truths, and people just don't notice these irregularities enough for it to matter, just like they don't notice the drops of morning dew on a dandelion, or the hue of the sunset, or that the gd light turned green one minute ago.
    The black screen bezels wasn’t always a thing. Monitors used to have a beige bezel, or a grey bezel, usually. When black bezels came out, people complained. Now people are so used to it that anything else seems wrong. You’ll get used to this too.

    in general, black bezels are thought to be better for still and video editing. I tend to agree. But white, or light grey (which these are closer to) are thought to be better for graphics publishing and general writing. Many flat screen TVs today, such as the Phillips, use colored lighting around the screen so it won’t be black, which gives the appearance of a larger screen.

    with bezels becoming smaller, the colot becomes less important.
    The current soon to be fully redundant Intel iMacs are the only iMac to have black bezels even the Bondi iMac had a light translucent grey/white bezel. 
    Sure dark mode is a thing now and more video. No bezels would be best but I don't seen white as an issue.

    Don't the Samsung Art series TV have a fine white metal bezel the timber frames magnet too.

    Oh man, I'm off.  About time I got the chance to let Apple know how their crappy decisions have turned Music into an infuriating hellhole.
    You always had Feedback as an option of calling in to the blind and letting them know.
    Still hopefully subjecting themselves to "public" feedback is a big step that hopefully means they are keen to invest time in things that annoy customers. 

    Add Wil Shipley joining Apple and I hope we see vast amounts of interface polish applied to the product.

  • 16-inch MacBook Pro power adapter out of stock ahead of expected revamp

    Would it kill them to make the USB-c bricks with more than one socket. 2 ports and ethernet would be grand.

  • Australia bank CEO mocks Apple's claim of being pro-competition

    Oh the irony, coming from Comm Bank who are amongst the biggest anti-competitive banks, who constantly collude to make themselves richer. They force out competition or buy it up so the customer still gets a bad deal. Take a good look in the mirror Matt Comyn you may not like what you find.
    Yes this is a bank that held off integrating Apple or Google wallet systems and instead asked customers to pay more for a supplementary card as a sticker to put on your phone. That is before we get in to all the dodgy and shady stuff exposed by the Banking Royal Commission they are still begging and leaning on friendly politicians to slow down or stop the need to deal with it. 

    They have been bested technologically they want to whine that they got disrupted and now need to provide the service they sell.
