Apple is known for doing interesting hardware and doing it perfectly.

Apple recently applied for a patent that envisions an iMac that’s formed from a single sheet of curved glass. The lower curved portion of the patented iMac sits on the desk. To keep the glass upright for normal use, Apple has a wedge section, inside which the hardware components will be present. The patented iMac can be used at different angles.

Beyond that, there are other benefits of having a single curved glass iMac. As stated by AppleInsider:

"While the lower section could be used simply as a place to put peripherals, such as a keyboard or mouse, Apple has further designs on its usage. An addition of a slot in the curved section could allow keyboards to be slid through it, possibly from the wedge element. [...]"

While the patent is futuristic, as is the case with most of the gadget patents, we don’t know whether it’ll get translated to a real product.

Well, there have been lots of all-in-ones.

Honestly, I'd prefer a huge version of a foldable phone.

Video imagines curved iMac made from single slab of glass per Apple patent

We noted recently an Apple patent showing a curved iMac design where the all-in-one computer is made from a single slab of glass.

We now get a clearer idea of how such a machine might look…
LetsGoDigital commissioned designer Jermaine Smit to create video renders.
However, the iMac design could definitely use a fresh look, so perhaps the inspirational value of the concept is not to be dismissed.
