Mike Peterson for AppleInsider:

One M1 iMac owner posted on the Apple Support Communities that their iMac was off-center with a difference of about 1mm between the left and right sides of the display. Another person complained about the issue on Reddit, stating that their iMac was “not completely level.”

YouTuber iPhonedo also published a video depicting his affected iMac, which sat noticeably crooked. The YouTuber said he returned his device to Apple.

It isn’t clear how exactly widespread the issue is, but reports suggest that it’s a fairly limited problem.

MacDailyNews Take: Even a slight discrepancy can drive you nuts.

  1. These days, we are being encouraged and trained to accept things that are a little off. In a way, slight tilt is a lot like minor protests. Just think about it for a second.

    First ask; is it really that bad? Can you just think of it as an opportunity to see things differently…or do a minor trim-job on your chair’s legs?
