For several years now, Apple has been working on a concept ofall-in-one desktop computerwhich would bring together screen, mouse and keyboard.We already knew that the format would look like a revolutionary device, but the manufacturer still chose to improve its diagrams via an update last week. We learn in particular that the chassis would be made up of a single piece of glass, suggesting a particularly premium finish as we can see on the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
With this, the engineers of the Apple firm specify that a semblance of a touchpad would be included directly in the extension of the rest of the shell. This could be a technology similar to that ofMagic Trackpad, a control accessory sold separately by Apple and which costs the modest sum of 155 euros in France. When purchasing a 24-inch iMac, however, all you need to do is add 50 euros to your bill and the device is yours.
A detachable keyboard
Another key advantage: Apple's future glass iMac would therefore also include a keyboard but which could be detached according to the user's wishes. Given the form that the computer would take, the initiative seems essential to be able to make the system more mobile. This would also be another of its key assets: the possibility of taking it anywhere with you, simply by detaching the Magic Keyboard. AiMac portable, what do you think?
When is the release?
Of course, let's keep in mind that this is just a simple patent. Its creators therefore have complete freedom not tonever make it happenif market expectations do not match them. And with the hypothetical abandonment of the 27-inch iMac with the same design as the one with an M1 chip, such a fate remains entirely possible.
If this project is abandoned, it will be far from being the only one. We remember, for example, the brief success ofAirPower charger, which Apple went so far as to present to the public before finally choosing to put it away. The fault, it is said, is overheating problems.
