As a Mac user since 2009 (27” iMac and another in late 2014, both of which I SO LOVED, I have to say that you are RIGHT ON about the MANY shortcomings of the new, highly vaunted and extremely limited new iMac 24” system which Apple is currently soaking people for. I was gifted one at Christmas and would never have accepted it had I known the frustration I was letting myself in for. I am a power user and always spec up any system which I purchase but this was a surprise FOR SURE.! And I had no input. To say I hate the system would be the kindest thing I could say as in truth, I really want to throw it VERY, VERY FAR AWAY. And now, in order to have a system which will do what I need, I have to go get a MAC STUDIO AND STUDIO DISPLAY. But this time, I will use my own money and spec it up as I need. Of course, my house payments might suffer……..please do not also become just another$$$$ for Apple! ARGH.
Thank you, for providing an excellent summary of the pros and cons of Apple's colorful 24-inch iMac desktop computers. During my first two decades (during the 1990's and 2000's) as an Apple home computer user, I only picked-up All-in-One desktops a 15-inch 5400, white 20-inch G4 iMac, glossy white 20-inch G5 iMac, and glossy white 24-inch Intel iMac. However, starting in 2010, I now only buy "mac mini" models and pair them with an Apple monitor (smile...smile).

Nobody ever wonders why no Face ID?
Regular mac users might know. But anyone got to macs after getting iPhone might wonder.
Indian?
