Users want larger screen sizes (27-32 inch)
28%38 comments
“27” minimum, it forced me to a Mini and 32” third party monitor.”
“Would you rather have the new 24-inch M6 iMac or a larger 27-inch (or even 32-inch!) model? 🖥 I love the new performance upgrades, but I think Apple is missing a huge opportunity by not offering a larger all-in-one Mac. Also, which iMac color is your favorite? I’m still partial to green! 💚”
“Still disappointed with apple that they do not produce the 27" display any more for the iMac. Looks like it will have to be the Mac mini and a 3rd party screen to replace my intel iMac.”
Prices are too high for the specs
26%35 comments
“The new screen is nice but these prices are brutal. I bought a 16-inch M5 Pro last spring for $3,600. The exact same config on this machine is $4,900.”
“Well combined with nano texture display it will cost you $14,700”
“Its hideously expensive here in my country”
Missing features like FaceID, Pencil, and Cellular

“Damn! Apple had me at the return of the glowing logo 🤯💰🤤”
“Glowing logo is the best part of this tbh. I have a Macbook pro from 2013. Still cookin. Love the glowing logo!”
Base 256GB storage is insufficient
4%6 comments
“The fact that the M6 iMac still only starts with 256GB Storage at $1499 in 2026 is quite literally daylight robbery.”
“256 GB these days is an absolute joke. I sure hope that this kind of nickel and dime offering is not the foundation of the Ternus era of Apple.”
“in the early 2010s, iMac used to be tremendous value. but now it's terrible. 256GB for insane pricing. and a smaller screen. insane. at least give us 27 inch and 512 minimum.”
