    A TV remote should have not ever been considered or use as a GAME CONTROLLER in the first place.

    "Anything can be forced to converge, but the problem is that products are about tradeoffs, and you begin to make tradeoffs to the point where what you have left doesn't please anyone,". "You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those things are probably not going be pleasing to the user." — Tim Cook 2012

    In this case, it look like Apple just canceled its Toaster/Frig mistake! 😎

    Explain how removing something invisible adds value? Especially since some games REQUIRE it.

    Apple TV was such a huge disappointment it kept the event from being one of the best ever.

    I’d just like to point out one thing no one seems to have mentioned yet.

    Does this new iMac have a battery? Because... MagSafe. Tripping over the cord and having it disconnect has consequences if there’s no battery.
    So tuck the cord away?  It's a desktop computer, you shouldn't have the power cord out somewhere it can be tripped over, MagSafe or not.  Tripping over a non-MagSafe cord probably has consequences too, if it sends your iMac crashing to the floor.

    I don’t think it needs a large battery but something that lasts maybe 15 minutes would be nice. When disconnected the screen can display a warning like
    ”Your iMac power cord has been disconnected. Please connect to avoid losing your data”

    The prompt could disable your computer until you reconnect.

    I too was a bit worried about the possibilities. A cat running by, a cat tugging the cord, a kid playing etc.

    With all that said, does the M1 chip currupt data when disconnected like a regular PC would? If not this is a non-issue. Maybe Apple can add auto-save when a cable is disconnected, power goes out etc.

    Headphone jack is located on the side on the desktop computer???? Who wants speaker cable dangling from the side all the time going to external powered speakers, instead of neatly tucked behind the screen and out of sight?

    Headphone jack is located on the back of the computer?!! Imagine the trouble of blindly trying to plug the cable into the tiny hole??! We have to GET UP from our seats and walk begins our computers just to plug in headphones?? Put it where we can SEE Apple!!!!


    ^^ see how that works?
