It takes years to redesign a product, so it's not surprising that the revamped M1 iMac's design was crafted with the help of former design executive Jony Ive. According to Wired, he was involved in this first new iMac redesign in a decade, but the company won't reveal when and how Ive was involved. Apple just said, "he had worked on it."
He left the company back in 2019 and then went off to put up an independent design firm called LoveForm. Apple was said to be a client of the company, but we don't know what that relationship is like.
