Macworld’s Roman Loyola says a big-screen iMac has long been missing from Apple’s lineup and that a new “Ultra push is the perfect time to introduce it.”
In other words, an “iMac Ultra.” Roman wants a 32-inch all-in-one with perhaps a 6K display.
If Apple were to release an iMac Ultra, perhaps it would have a bezel-less display — or at least one with smaller bezels than the current models. “As for the chip, Apple could go with a Pro or Max chip to set it apart from the standard model and preserve the Mac Studio’s status as the top-end Mac,” he says.
As far back as 2020 it was rumored that Apple planned to release an iMac with thinner bezels. The company has filed for various patents involving such Macs. One is number 20200380916 for an “optical system and method to mimic zero-border display.” Electronic displays typically include a border around the display. This border may be utilized to conceal, for example, drive circuitry used to operate the display.
However, Apple says that use of this border reduces the overall visible space available to display images. The tech giant is looking to implement a system that increases the overall usable space for a display by reducing the impact of borders around the display.
I’d love to see it implemented in the 32-inch, 6K iMac Ultra that Roman wants.
