The iMac vs a Simple Monitor

A large Apple computer monitor displays a cosmic galaxy wallpaper with various application icons along the bottom dock.

The Thunderbolt display is now a vintage product for Apple. When I look at this beautiful monitor, I’m thinking about the recently introduced redesigned iMac. Many people would have preferred to see the iMac chin disappear. We should know better and see this is a distinctive design attribute of the iMac which make it look different than from a simple monitor. It’s an important visual differentiation factor in my opinion. The iMac is not a simple monitor.

Four different models of Apple computers from the years 1984, 1998, 2004, and 2021 are shown, each displaying a version of the classic Mac smiley face.
