A natural progression was to apply this venerated technique to a create a new Penfolds red style. The initial release, aptly named g3, consisted of a blend comprised of the 2008, 2012 and 2014. So after filming a video of the all-in-one mod and much deliberation, I decided to disassemble this mod and 'switch' this mod with the apple cinema display one. Thus, I will get the benefit of a brand new/white exterior and the native housing which makes this completely indistinguishable from the original iMac G4.

Following new details on the 2021 MacBook Pro refresh, Bloombergnow reports that Apple is also planning to release its first redesign of the iMac since 2012 later this year, as well as a lower-priced external monitor. There is also a new Mac Pro lineup in the works, the report says.

Bloomberg describes the new iMac as having smaller bezels with a design similar to the Pro Display XDR. This will include removing the “chin area” from the bottom, as well as a flat back rather than the current curved design. Apple is reportedly planning to versions to replace the existing 21.5 and 27-inch models “later this year.”

The new models will slim down the thick black borders around the screen and do away with the sizable metal chin area in favor of a design similar to Apple’s Pro Display XDR monitor. These iMacs will have a flat back, moving away from the curved rear of the current iMac. Apple is planning to launch two versions — codenamed J456 and J457 — to replace the existing 21.5-inch and 27-inch models later this year, the people said, asking not to be identified because the products are not yet announced.

“The iMac redesign will be one of the biggest visual updates to any Apple product this year,” the report says while citing people familiar with Apple’s roadmap.

Past reports have indicated that Apple is developing a 24-inch iMac, which would theoretically serve as a replacement to the 21.5-inch model. Bloomberg doesn’t specifically mention the screen sizes of the new iMac design, instead only saying that there will be two versions to “replace” the existing 21.5-inch and 27-inch options.

Mac Pro

Apple is also reportedly planning two new versions of the Mac Pro, one version with the same design as the current Mac Pro and one version that is “less than half the size” of the current design. The smaller Mac Pro could “invoke nostalgia for the Power Mac G4 Cube,” Bloomberg reports.

Interestingly, the report says that the version with the same design as the current Mac Pro could continue using Intel processors for now, but the redesigned version will use Apple Silicon.

One version is a direct update to the current Mac Pro and will continue to use the same design as the version launched in 2019. Apple has discussed continuing to use Intel processors for that model rather than moving to its own chips.

The second version, however, will use Apple’s own processors and be less than half the size of the current Mac Pro. The design will feature a mostly aluminum exterior and could invoke nostalgia for the Power Mac G4 Cube, a short-lived smaller version of the Power Mac, an earlier iteration of the Mac Pro.

New external display

As part of the work on the iMac, Apple has also started “early development” of a lower-priced external display. This model would serve as a successor to the Thunderbolt Display that Apple sold for $999, but ended up discontinuing in 2016.

The Pro Display XDR is priced at $4999 (not including the Pro Stand) and features a variety of high-end display technologies for professional users. The lower-priced model would be more similar to the panel Apple uses in the iMac rather than the one in the Pro Display XDR.

The cheaper monitor would feature a screen geared more for consumer than professional use and wouldn’t have the brightness and contrast ratio of the top-tier offering. Apple last launched a consumer-grade monitor called the Thunderbolt Display in 2011 for $999 but discontinued it in 2016.

No details on a release timeframe for the new external display are provided in the Bloomberg report, but the project being in the “early development” stage suggests that a release could come after 2021.

Apple has produced a lot of different Macs with odd and interesting designs since 1984. Take a look at some of the most interesting, coolest and weirdest vintage Macs from 1984-2002. While some were commercial failures, most containted innovations that we still see as features in Macs today. Included are the Macinotsh XL, the Mac Portable, the Twentieth Anniversary Mac, the G4 Cube, the Titanium PowerBook and more.

Video Transcript: Hi, this is Gary with MacMost.com. On this episode let's talk about the best, the coolest, the weirdest vintage Mac designs, like this one.These videos are made possible by an incredible group of people that support MacMost over at Patreon. If you'd like to join us and get exclusive content go to macmost.com/patreon.So when talking about vintage Macs and Mac design you really have to start with the original. The Mac from 1984. This set the stage for the whole first generation of Macs. It really was a very different design than computers of the time. The weirdest out of all the first generation of Macs definitely had to be this one. This looks like a Lisa, which was another computer developed by Apple at the same time that was a big failure. In fact it was such a failure that Apple was left with a bunch of hardware and they converted them to Macs and create the Macintosh XL. It was actually a Lisa using software emulation to become a Mac. This thing sold for $4,000 in 1985. It wasn't a huge hit but it allowed Apple to get rid of all this extra Lisa hardware.Now out of all the first generation Macs this one is my favorite but probably because it was my first Mac. This was a Macintosh SE. It was 1987 and it was $2900. The school I went to, Drexel University, actually required all students to get one. This thing had two floppy drives. What you would usually do is put the operating system and one app on one floppy and then your data on another. So you'd boot-up from one floppy, have the app say a word processor you were going to use, then use that to edit files that were on the other floppy drive.Now a lot of Apple's most interesting designs were also commercial failures. Take for instance the 1989 Macintosh Portable. This was pretty much a failure as a 16 lb portable computer that cost $7000 ($14000 in today's money.) But it did introduce features like LCD screen and the idea of a portably computer running on a battery. Apple was pretty early to this game and this was just the first in a long line of portably Macs many of which would be very successful.The Mac portable was soon followed by the PowerBook series. My favorite out of all of those was the PowerBook 160 because this was my second Mac. I bought it in 1992 and it cost a little under $4000. It was interesting because it had a gray scale screen capable of sixteen different shades of gray. You could hook up an external monitor to it. It was actually really portable. I used to bring it to the school library. I remember being the first person there in the library to actually be working on a laptop computer.Apple got pretty boring with their design in the mid 90's. But then in 1997 they came out with one of the weirdest Macs ever. This was the 20th anniversary Mac. It was an expensive machine, $7,500! But it got you this design unlike anything Apple produced before or since. It was actually a showcase to show what new technologies were coming up. So it had things like a color LCD screen, this built-in sound system. It had a built-in CD drive. You could tune in TV stations and FM stations with it. It also featured a trackpad as its main input device, not a mouse.It was only a year later in 1998 that we got the iMac. The iMac was an extremely successful computer bringing the Mac back into the mainstream. The price was pretty reasonable. It was only $1300 for one of these. It was an all-in-one Mac just like the original. It's kind of funny because originally it was a very weird looking computer. But it was so popular that it became normal looking after a while. Now in 2019 if you see one around it's kind of weird looking again. Now I never had one of those original iMac. They were geared to consumers and I was using my Mac professionally.So I was really happy when Apple adapted that design and came out with this version of the Power Mac G3. There was a beige box version of this computer first but eventually they came out with one called the Blue and White Power Mac G3. It was a really neat enclosure. As a matter of fact I like keeping it on top of my desk because I liked how it looked rather than hidden away underneath. There's also an All-in-One version of this. It basically looked like a beige iMac.From 1997 to 2001 Apple produced a really cool looking set of MacBooks, the G3 MacBooks. They had interesting looking code names like Lumbar, Pismo, Wallstreet. They were this all black plastic design. Really neat. They felt really good to carry around. I owned one of these for years. It was a great portable computer.Now no talk about vintage Macs is complete unless you mention the G4 Cube. It's basically a mid range Mac from 2000. The base model only cost about $1800. It kind of was a precursor to the MacMini. So perhaps my favorite Mac laptop of all time was this one. The G4 PowerBook made with titanium. It was plagued with issues. Titanium wasn't a great metal, as it turns out, for making laptops and they painted it. The paint wore off after time. The hinges on this thing were horrible and after a few years pretty much everybody that owned one the hinges broke or made it impossible to open and close. But the design set the stage for everything to come. From the titanium powerbook to today's MacBook Pro it's pretty much is a gentle evolution all the way from 2001 to today.So let's finish up by talking about this one here. This is the G4 iMac. Originally known as simply the New iMac. It came out in 2002 and it had a design very different than the previous iMacs. It used a LCD screen here and had this handle here that made it easy to adjust and put the screen facing any direction that you want. Any angle you want and you could actually carry it by grabbing this. It had tons of ports. Very capable. It looked great and I can't bring myself to part with it even though I've given away or recycled Macs much newer than this one. I think I'll probably keep this one forever.So which vintage Mac design is your favorite. Which ones did you own and which ones do you still have because you can't bring yourself to part with it. Let me know in the comments.
