2017 27" iMac owner here. Really wishing they would have come up with a replacement before "obsoleting" this still more than capable computer. Sure, the Mac Studio plus an external display could work, but I'm just not willing to go that far in price. The 27" iMac, for the price, is simply the best all around computer I've ever owned.
Wish I could use my Late-2014 27" iMac as an external display for an Apple Silicon Mini... That would be better for the planet surely than junking it as obsolete and buying 2 boxes! (btw I know it's not possible)
If you gut them and buy a conversion board you can use it as an external.
There's a few kick starters like Juicy Crumb are building templates to mount a M1 Mac mini board inside with the connectors for the rear IO etc
It won't be long before you can do all the old iMacs.
Ive been thinking about upgrading my 2017 iMac but the 7700k is still expensive and upgrading all the storage its probably a £300 upgrade on a machine that will still be half the speed of my M1 MacBook. When an M1 Mac mini is like £600.
Just dont want to spend £1500 on a display that I technically already own.
All-in-one (AIO) desktop computers like the iMac should not be allowed. You throw away an expensive display that is working perfectly. And worse of all, you cannot use Display Target Mode with latest iMacs. Is Apple protecting the environment or is this programmed obsolescence?
Biggest design overhaul since iOS 7 with Liquid Glass, plus new Apple Intelligence features and improvements to Messages, Phone, Safari, Shortcuts, and more. Developer beta available now ahead of public beta in July.
