We’ve been long awaiting the arrival of a new iMac, with the latest (read: outdated) release in the all-in-one desktop computing line-up being the colorful 2021 M1 iMac editions. A newly-uncovered patent shows Apple is very much still experimenting with new ideas for future generations of iMac — though it might want to refocus elsewhere if this rather strange idea is anything to go by.
Patent number US 11,630,485 B2 was awarded to Apple this year by the United States Patent Office, and describes a new iMac design that would include rear-facing projection units.
