A New Patent Indicate a Significant Change in iMac’s Design
For quite some time now, touchscreen feature is missing from the Apple Mac computers. According to some recent pieces of information, it might change in the future. Recently, an updated patent application emerged. It suggests that the company might be observing to modify its strategy.
The patent we are talking about was originally filed last year in November. The patent refers to an adjustable stand for desktop computers. Apple draws attention to the difficulties of managing and moving ever-larger, more slender panels. In contrast to conventional designs, their suggested approach centers on a stand that enhances portability and minimizes wasted space.
This piece of information was taken by a few tech blogs as a touchscreen iMac just like the Surface Studio from Microsoft. However, there is no indication of the touchscreen feature within the patent document. The main focus of the patent document is the portability and adjustability of the stand.
It is quite interesting that the company is putting in efforts to improve the physical design of the iMac. We can anticipate a touchscreen iMac. However, the patent document implies that the company is focusing more on practicality. An adjustable stand will improve the user experience be it an artist, designer, or a normal user. They will be able to benefit from different viewing angles.
Ultimately, the iMac lineup would benefit from any upgrades that increase use and comfort. It’s unclear from this patent if it relates to a touchscreen iMac in the future or just a better stand design. If Apple adopts the touchscreen trend for desktop computers, only time will tell.
