> Sometimes their bluetooth earphones won't connect. Macbooks are notorious for having BT issues. I've personally owned two MBPs that have had BT issues and know many friends who have also.
I've personally owned 0 Apple devices with no BT issues, I also have zero friends who have had BT issues. The multiple of anecdote is not data.
I'm self employed (engineer, not comp-sci or coder bro) and as my company's revenue grows I am more and more tempted to "treat myself" and integrate more Apple products (I have an original SE phone) for the ease of use and having "corporate" Unix products in the arsenal. I see new products like these and instantly get excited. It looks so cool! It's thin, the screen is nice, looks like a great product! Maybe I'll qui…
I think it's worth it. I'm at the point where I think any non apple laptop is a waste of money. I own a software consultancy and charge about $700 a day for my time. My MacBook regularly has uptimes of over a month. Sometimes I work in an office with people using Windows machines. Sometimes their bluetooth earphones won't connect. The mic doesn't work on Zoom sometimes. Doesn't wake from sleep. Things like that. That…
I'm really surprised that Apple decided not to have the Apple Logo emblazoned on the front of the iMac. It's a good looking computer but if you had shown me one before this event I would have assumed it was some other all-in-one PC. I also can't help but think a black bezel would look better.
Apple's so popular their branding is the device itself without logo. Only the biggest brands have this luxury. I agree though - the logo would have made more sense.

Yes. This is the case. And the versions that come with Ethernet have the Ethernet port on that brick.
That's pretty cool! I never would've thought of that. Nice to have one fewer cable to pull up onto the desk.

I can only speak for myself, and I hate power bricks with a passion. You need to find a place to hide them, they are annoying when cleaning, and they are annoying when you move devices (need to untangle not only cable but also power brick). Why get an all-in-one when it requires attaching a box to it? I might as well get a Mac mini at that point (which still has a built in PSU)
Well...don't they usually go behind a desk? Or behind some furniture? There are solutions to this problem.
Every picture features an iMac on a beautiful desk with the power adaptor conveniently not in the picture. There's not really a place to hide it if you have desks like these, it's just gonna lie somewhere on the floor.

It’s basically a laptop without the transportability. Only 255GB disk. No numeric keypad. Have to use a bulky charger. Have to carry dongles for the Blue Yeti microphone in USB2 (and the printer). Need a SD adapter to download the films from my reflex camera. Can’t plug headphones.
It's funny/weird that they only put the ethernet port on the power supply. They could've put some more USB ports on it for connecting accessories in a clean manner. If you're using a docking station already, why the hell not do it properly? For this iMac the connection could've been USB-C, btw (but it probably can't be for the larger ones). Furthering the idea of putting things into an external unit to save space on…

Hopefully it'll be on the larger model. I think they may segment it as "iMac Pro"
eh FaceID is more like a software feature rather than hardware, even a basic windows laptop these days have it
I bought the highest end iMac 27 with 64gb, etc etc, mid year last year for $5k. I knew this was coming. Still hurts. Where is the best place to sell a 1yr old Mac?
You have 64 GB swappable memory, can cheaply upgrade it up to 128 GB without voiding the warranty. You have 10Gbe Ethernet. You have bigger screen. Why sell now?
