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!

Macworld's Filipe Espósito today revealed a handful of features that Apple is allegedly planning for iOS 26.4, iOS 27, and even iOS 28.
The report said the features are referenced within the code for a leaked internal build of iOS 26 that is not meant to be seen by the public. However, it appears that Espósito and/or his sources managed to gain access to it, providing us with a sneak peek...

Software from an iPhone prototype running an early build of iOS 26 leaked last week, giving us a glimpse at future Apple devices and iOS features. We recapped device codenames in our prior article, and now we have a list of some of the most notable feature flags that were found in the software code.
In some cases, it's obvious what the feature flags are referring to, while some are more...

Apple is testing iOS 26.3, the next version of iOS 26 that will launch around January. Since iOS 26.3's testing is happening over the holidays, it is a smaller update with fewer features than we've seen in prior betas.
We've rounded up what's new so far, and we'll add to our list with subsequent betas if we come across any other features.

Apple released the AirPods Max on December 15, 2020, meaning the over-ear headphones launched five years ago today. While the AirPods Max were updated with a USB-C port and new color options last year, followed by support for lossless audio and ultra-low latency audio this year, the headphones lack some of the features that have been introduced for newer generations of the regular AirPods and the ...

iOS 26.2 includes a handful of new features and changes on the iPhone, such as a new...
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.
