Complaining about Apple Part 7,963

[xnthvtc]

I read a thread a couple of minutes ago about how Apple seems to be neglecting the iMac, and I agree. The iMac was the staple Apple product up until they started dumping all their money on the iPads. I really would enjoy if they went back to their roots and started really focusing on the iMac again. Those initial iMacs, (G3, G4, G5), were revolutionary. The 24" is fantastic don't get me wrong, but REALLY... 4 type C ports and a headphone jack?? The MacBooks have more native functionality than the iMacs have nowadays. I certainly wouldn't mind have an iMac that's a little thicker so I can have some more IO. I think Apple is starting to see the error of their ways when it comes to IO, what with the new MacBooks having a broader selection of ports and MAGSAFE. They may be going back to their roots.

I think Apple has currently repositioned the iMac as a pretty home appliance. Which it does very well.

To quote Apple : "Stands out in any space. Fits perfectly into your life."

I would use the words "not prioritising" rather than neglecting. Resources are being directed to devices that they consider the most important. It's on their roadmap, but not at the top. Gotta admire them for delaying a product update (and sales) in order to produce what they consider a better product, assuming they are waiting for the M3. Not many companies will do that, or can afford it.

There just isn’t demand for desktop computers like there was when the iMac G3 first came out. Laptops outsell desktops by a massive margin, so it makes sense that Apple would reduce focus on consumer desktop computers accordingly.

The 2013 Mac Pro is what’s called the trash can, not an iMac.
