All eyes are presently on Apple’sexciting workweek of Mac launches , but the company has something more unusual up its sleeve for next class : a chic video display with an oddly familiar design .
In thelatest editionof his Power On newssheet , Bloomberg newsman Mark Gurman predicts that this long - bruit mathematical product will resemble the “ sunflower ” G4 iMac from 2002 in its physical design , with a screen up top and a curved base down below . This is now regard as aclassic of industrial design , but Apple has n’t done anything exchangeable since then , preferring to either build the entrails of the machine into the screen itself ( as in the New iMac ) or to use a separate tower ( as in the Mac Pro ) .
The wise display wo n’t expect exactly like the 2002 iMac , of course . For one affair , it will be substantially diminished . Gurman enunciate the exhibit itself will be rough the size of two iPhones side by side , which suggests something in the region of 150x150 mm . This show will posture “ at an slant ” on a minuscule base reminiscent of the iMac ’s orbitual bottom , Gurman explains – although in functional price this format means it ’s much like a HomePod with a screen door .
“ The low size meet with the idea that the mathematical product will be relatively cheap and easy to have in different elbow room of the home , ” he writes . The gimmick is think to function as a hub for chic menage products and is expected to finally sit alongside a more expensive sibling display with a automatonlike branch .
