“Should the latest rumors pan out, a completely redesigned family of Apple’s iMacs due for release later this year will not only arrive noticeably slimmer than existing models but may also be the first of the company’s desktops to feature anti-reflective displays,” Katie Marsal reports for AppleInsider.
“That’s according to a brief report published Monday by hit-or-miss DigiTimes, in which the taiwanese rumor publication claims that G-Tech is ramping up its monthly production capacity of cover glass from 1.8 million units to 3 million units in an effort to supply 25% or more of the cover glass for Apple’s new iPad,” Marsal reports. “The report curiously cites sources in adding that ‘G-Tech is also expected to supply AR (anti-reflective) glass solutions for Apple’s all-in-one (AIO) PCs with the new products to also serve as a growth driver for G-Tech.'”

iMac with anti-glare? I’m in line!
iPad with anti-glare? I’ll trade up!
Are folks at Apple growing up and seeing things ‘clearly’ now?
I certainly hope so. I’m so overdue for a new iMac…
What?!? For the sake of God almighty, what will there be left to complain about?
$49 Thunderbolt cables! 😉
These are not just “dumb” cables, they contain electronics that put the cost at $49.
Talk about $300-plus HDMI cables!!!
LOL
People will always find reasons to complain about anything.
I’ll complain about your saying people always complain. 😆
YOU WORTHLESS TIT!!!
Oh…
Sorry, this is Abuse.
and no tit is worthless
But I paid for an argument!
No you didn’t.
this isnt an argument! It’s merely the automatic gain saying of what the other person said!
For the apparent minority of us who need it, only the lack of upgraded Mac Pros.
i feel for you, jaundiced. The Mac Pro is a flagship device that has been neglected for far too long. Remember the days of the PowerMac when Apple battled to have the fastest desktop with the original PPC series (6100, 7100, and 8100) and the G3 and G4. Then G4 clock speeds stalled at ~300-500 MHz and things weren’t looking good. Then Apple rocks back with powerful Intel-based Mac Pros. Now Apple has let the Mac Pros languish…
Is Apple on a six year cycle for pro desktop computers?
Yeah, my first Apple was the 8100. It was an eye-opener at the time, and I never regretted switching to Apple.
No Mac Pro for one.
Glare + Sandpaper = Anti-glare
Thanks Tooltime Tim.
Screen glare + kindergartner = non-glare screen + daddy glare
I am ready for my new iMac now. This one was the first release of the latest version. It is time.
iMac with anti-glare? I’m in line!
iMac without anti-glare? I’m still in line!
I need a newer Mac as my old iMac has seen better days! So Apple’s got me either way. Hurry up summer and hurry up OS X 10.8!
I’d rather see an easily replaceable hard drive. Come on, Apple! You can do it with the tiny 13″ MBP, why not with the big-ass iMac? Put in two 2.5″ drive bays, and let people upgrade and replace. Sacrifice the stupid optical drive if necessary, but stop burying the hard drive.
yeah, make that drive as easy to swap as the RAM. Even a gig drive eventually gets small…
Wonder if an AR screen on the iPad would make it a better outside reader?
This is just another tabloid rumour. Thinner and antiglare iMacs are unlikely.
Intimating that Digitimes gets anything approximating a 50% success rate is an insult to math literates everywhere.
Glad I don’t have an iMac, I would have to use it without my glasses. I have polarised lenses, and the glass on iMac screens goes completely black when I look at the screen on the ones at work. Which would be a real problem at home.
I guess you don’t own an iPad then? I once thought my iPad died until I got frustrated rolled up my sleeves and took off my sunglasses.
YES!
Would be nice if you could retrofit an older iMac (’09 to present) with a new piece of glass. My new 27″ is great, but reflections annoy me.
My iMac CoreDuo 20 has anti-glare and it is still the easiest of my Macs to view in a bright room.
If you hate the glossy iMac screens, then sign the petition at http://macmatte.wordpress.com – about 2,100 petitions right now.
what about USB 3.0?
Please! Let it be so.
Reflective, mirror finish screens are so 20th century.
Grew up watching family reflections on the telly… Now my reflection in the iPad.
Ready for a new CInema Display… when it’s anti-reflective again.
