  • Wish list: Nine features we want to see in an iMac refresh at WWDC 2018

    I would like to see the case either go back to the thicker aluminum body used in 2009-2012 models or maybe something in the between. To me, it doesn`t matter if the edge of a desktop computer screen is 2,5 cm or 0,5 cm thick. I can understand the importance of making iPhones, iPads and macbooks thinner, since you will be carrying these around. This is not the case of the iMac. What does matter is repairability, upgradeability and airflow.
    I would also like to see better GPU options.
    This would be a great idea. Maybe 1-1.5 cm thickness would be okay. The card reader and a USB port on the side for easy access. Less thermal problems and the possibility to upgrade RAM and SSD modules. I would like to see an iMac that can opened without cutting through glue. Glue is a bad engineering solution... When you open an iMac, you notice that the display cables are very poorly positioned, with the risk of damaging one. With more space you could make a hinge to pull away the display and acesss RAM/SSD. I don't think people want to change CPU. But it is time to fight obsolescence and being able to change/add RAM/SSD would be a great beginning. Maybe they should give 5 years warranty ... But I fear they are anorexic ...
