14 DAY TRIAL // While users have been drooling after major upgrades on Apple’s Mac computers for quite some time, the Cupertino-based tech giant has rather focused on baby steps, bringing more or less subtle refinements to its laptops and desktop PCs.
And while for many these upgrades are just enough, others expect Apple to bring a much bigger overhaul to its devices, including touch support, something that Microsoft is betting big on its Surface PC lineup but which the Cupertino-based tech giant doesn’t seem to be very interested in.
A concept that envisions a 2020 Apple iMac, however, proposes a much bigger facelift of the device which many users would just love.
First and foremost, it all starts with a new design that uses a bezeless approach with a 28-inch 5K Retina display and up to 600 nits brightness. Needless to say, this is a welcome upgrade that makes sense on a desktop computer, especially given the increased screen estate.
And of course, the concept proposes major upgrades under the hood, including the 10th Gen Intel Core i9 processor and a Radeon Pro Vega 56 card.
Hello, Face ID!
Face ID would also be supported for quick authentication using facial recognition – this is a feature that Microsoft is already offering on its own devices with Windows Hello and which Apple could very well add to its devices in the coming years after previously introducing it on the iPhone X.
But the most interesting idea that should clearly make its way to every laptop out there is the new “Magic Trackpad 3” which makes it possible to also recharge your phone wirelessly. Such a feature truly makes sense given iPhones now come with wireless charging and could very well be implemented in the palm rest on any laptop to keep the trackpad free.
It goes without saying this is just a concept for now and you really shouldn’t hold your breath for Apple to make this happen.
