Jony Ive was involved in with the M1 iMac's design, but we don't know how much

Apple

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.

Apple has finally updated its iMac with an eye-catching new look that's a throwback to the original iMac's classic, colourful design. According to the company, this new iMac was built from the ground up for the M1 chip. 

It has a slimmer 24-inch 4.5K display with thinner borders around the edges, except for a still prominent chin. The rear of the iMac is now flat, reducing its volume by over 50 percent. It also comes in seven different colours.

Apple discontinues iMac Pro, plus 2 iMac configurations

Hours after Apple discontinued the iMac Pro, the company has also discontinued two configurations of the 4K 21.5-inch iMac. The 512GB and 1TB SSD configurations are no longer available. Both options became unavailable for purchase last month, but it wasn't clear if this was a temporary problem.

But now, the company has removed both SSD options for the iMac's configuration page completely. With Apple rumoured to launch a redesigned iMac this year, it isn't that surprising that the company is phasing out older models.

We've heard about the possible new comeback of MagSafe to the MacBook Pros. But now, we're getting a report from Bloomberg that Apple might be working on a significant redesign for its iMac all-in-one desktop, too. There might be two new models coming later this year to replace the existing 21.5-inch and 27-inch models (codenamed J456 and J457). We could expect it to look like the Pro Display XDR by getting rid of its bezel, oversized chin, and curved back. It'll also supposedly run on Apple's next-generation ARM-based processors.

Apple is also supposedly working on a more affordable monitor to complement the high-end Pro Display XDR. This display won't have comparable image quality to the Pro Display XDR, but it will at least give users looking for an Apple-made monitor the chance to own one again.
