LEGO has an "Ideas" website that allows fans to submit mockups and suggestions for future LEGO sets, and one fan has designed a faithful recreation of Apple's iconic 1998 iMac G3 in translucent Bondi Blue.
Designer terauma's 700-piece concept stays true to the original setup, including the distinctive all-in-one computer, "hockey puck" mouse, and matching keyboard, all connected with the appropriately translucent cables that defined the era's aesthetic.
The design incorporates the classic clear elements throughout and includes internal details like a cathode ray tube and even a circuit board representation.
Since launching on May 17, the proposal has gathered nearly 4,500 votes. If the LEGO iMac G3 gets 10,000 "supporters" or votes on the LEGO ideas site, LEGO will review it and will consider it for an official retail set.
It's unclear if Apple would approve such a set, and it's unknown if it will pass LEGO's review. LEGO evaluates submissions based on existing products, products already in development, brand fit, expected demand, licensing possibilities, build quality, and more.
The submission follows other Apple-themed LEGO concepts, including last year's Apple Store design that successfully reached the review threshold. If you're into LEGO, maybe consider giving it your vote!

In the iOS 26.4 update that's coming this spring, Apple will introduce a new version of Siri that's going to overhaul how we interact with the personal assistant and what it's able to do.
The iOS 26.4 version of Siri won't work like ChatGPT or Claude, but it will rely on large language models (LLMs) and has been updated from the ground up.

The report, citing industry sources, is available in English on Macworld.
Apple announced the iPhone 16e on Wednesday, February 19 last year, so the iPhone 17e would be unveiled exactly one year later if this rumor is accurate. It is quite uncommon for Apple to unveil...

Looks cool, hope it reaches the finish line and gets picked to be made into a set.
The IDEAS sets usually change a little between "concept" and "product", but I can imagine Lego going for this - it'll sell well for them, and the profit margin on their IDEA S/ "Adult" lego sets is extremely high.
I'd guess it comes down to Apple agreeing or not. If Apple agree, they'd be lunatics not to insist on a unique "Apple Logo" printed/etched brick ( not just a sticker).
Lego is great. I went from playing the lego as a kid to taking apart and rebuilding electronics and then computers. Lego was good training.
Yeah Apple needs to agree to it as well. And many "licensed" Ideas sets fail at that point (look at all the Nintendo-based Ideas sets prior to Lego working with Nintendo, all of them rejected) and then the set is redesigned by Lego (emplyees) designers based on the original submission. (Which means that yes, thing will become different. But mostly for the better)
So.. 1. It needs to reach 10.000 supporters (easy part) 2. Lego needs to agree to create it. 3. Lego needs to choose this set out of multiple entries that reached support. 4. Apple needs to agree to license their logo.
Only then the set actually made into a Lego product and it will take 1-3 years for it to be released.
