I strongly doubt Apple will share your concern about user access for repair or upgrades. Of course we should able to at least swap out SSDs and (laptop) batteries in a simple manner but that's just not the Cupertino way.
Got a tip for us?

Looks like a new iMac design may actually be coming...

How many times do we have to talk about this garbage patent/concept? It's not happening, expect a tepid update, maybe some thinner bezels in the first half of 2020.
I can understand it for laptops, mobility and all, but this is supposed to be a desktop machine.. none of the current Apple desktops have embedded keyboards.Yep. Pretty much like the laptops.
If they were slots for removable peripherals, perhaps with a charging arrangement built in, then it could work. Pull out the keyboard and trackpad and you can place them where you want. Slot them back into place at the end of the day and they're charging while you polish your desk.
I don't get the slot arrangement for the laptop as it looks awkward to get into position and it would be a fixed keyboard.

It actually looks terrible as the whole concept is terrible. Set angle, no option to move keyboard (just to name few)
It looks like a MBP had sex with iMac and this bastard came out. This is a no go for many many many reasons.

It would better have a hole for the nose in the centre of the screen, given how close they wanted us to type.
