Apple Wants To Fit An Entire iMac Onto A Piece Of Curved Glass

Apple has taken another step with its iMac design when it applied for a patent of a computer with both its keyboard and screen are on the same sheet of glass.

The patent was filed last May and it outlines the display area and the input area of an Apple iMac that fit in a continuous piece of glass. Behind the glass sheet is a support structure that houses the processing unit and all of the ports.

The design is striking and futuristic for a number of reasons. First, Apple has never used that much curved glass before on its hardware. Another is how Apple can integrate the keyboard into the all-in-one design. The patent also suggests a way to detach the keyboard from the whole structure.

The design is not the only aspect Apple tries to revolutionize. The iPhone maker talks about a way for users to dock a MacBook into the new iMac. The display of the iMac will take the job of that of the laptop and a hole in the middle will allow the keyboard to pass through so users can use it as they normally do.

That is not all; the patent also suggests that the piece of glass can be folded in the middle when the machine is not in use.

There is nothing at all confirmed at this point as Apple and other tech firms have abandoned lots of designs and ideas before. Even if the new iMac makes it to the market, we may have to wait for years to see that happens.

The look of iMac has remained the same for the last few years so it is no surprise that Apple is looking for a shake-up.

For now, iMac price in India is Rs. 94,905 while iMac pro price in India is Rs. 4,15,000.
