    I like the new iMac fine except I want a Apple logo stick-on on the front. 
    Me too. Fortunately, Apple still includes that peel-n-stick vinyl logo with their new Macs. If I were buying an M1 iMac that's exactly what I'd do with it.

  • Apple executives detail 24-inch iMac design, features in new interview

    I love the new iMac.. the design, the colors, the color matched accessories, the TouchID on the keyboard.. and even the chin, which I was hoping would be gone, I'm glad to see is still there, and I hope they keep it. However, white borders..?
    Reading comprehension fail.

    As the article clearly states, the borders aren't white, they're light grey. None of us have actually seen them yet, but I'm reasonably sure that black would be a jarring contrast against the unsaturated colors of the chin. It would be appropriate to consider that Apple does think about this stuff, and that they're pretty good at that.

    Because many people would love the simplicity of the iPad for their most used daily activities. But sometimes you need a more sophisticated/complicated system. I agree that it is a relatively small niche and I would never support the idea of putting macOS on an iPad on par with iPadOS. But as a user, if I can install macOS as an app for a few niche uses, it is a total win. I can ditch my mostly unused MacBook and use the iPad Pro for everything, all the time.
    If you put macOS on an iPad, then the iPad wouldn't be simple any more. That's not going to happen.

    However what might well occur, enabled by iPadOS having been forked away from iOS, is iPad OS's very rudimentary file handling and multitasking capabilities being beefed up to allow more computer-like workflows. At the same time, some elements of macOS are also taking cues from the mobile devices. This isn't an "iOSification" of macOS as some people claim, but rather Apple's effort to better harmonize the user experience between the Mac and the mobile devices. That involves evolution in both categories.

    I think the ‘Glow and behold’ tagline for WWDC 21 is a dead giveaway for mini LED backlit MacBook Pros.

    Hmmm, here’s hoping you’re right!
