There’s no denying that 2018 has been a stellar year for Apple.
OUR APPLE 2019 WISHLIST
Releasing a trio of new iPhones, a new iPad Pro, Apple Watch, MacBook Air, and Mac Mini, virtually every product in the lineup has been refreshed, but we always want more. In this week’s issue, we lift the curtain on our 2019 wishlist, revealing which products we’d like to see given some love next.
ALL-NEW iMAC
Last year’s iMac Pro was a treat for power users, offering next-level performance and style in a gorgeous new Space Gray casing. Reviews were overwhelmingly positive, too, despite the Pro’s $4,999 price tag. Whilst the Pro will continue to serve its purpose at the higher end of the market, it’s the original iMac line-up we’d like to see given an overhaul. Having sported the same all glass and aluminum design for more than ten years, perhaps it’s time to give the desktop computer a new look to bring it in line with the rest of the Mac family? Thinner bezels, more screen real estate, and a fingerprint unlock on the wireless keyboard would bring the iMac up to speed.
If Apple really wanted to take the iMac to the next level, then it could bow to pressure from the public and bring touch-screen functionality to the Mac. Apple has already outlined plans to port iOS apps to the Mac and vice versa to further align the operating systems, so the next logical step would be to create an iMac/ iPad crossover. A stunning ‘MacPad Pro’ mockup from ikoncept brings that idea to life, with two edge-to-edge screens that can be folded in either direction, allowing you to turn your iMac into a laptop, and your laptop back into a desk-sized phablet device. Is this the future?
