Rumor: Apple to introduce iMac with iOS support within 60 days

ok so would this be:

*an intel OSX based iMac with an additional ARM processor/emulator?

a strictly ARM based OSX free touchscreen desktop?

touchscreen intel/OSX with an emulator for apps? (dont developers already have something like this?)

????

My only worry if this becomes true is that I would worry Apple wouldn’t update the rest of the specs that well, just add this touch and keep the price the same. Other than to clean my monitor I’ve never touched it. Its not arms lengths away. I feel if this is added the consumer would be paying for it no matter up. $1,400-1,600 27 inch i5 or i7 iMac please.

Why not just make a touchscreen imac with os x. The touchscreen windows computers are pretty cool. Maybe a program to switch from osx to ios? But ios as a computers main operating system? Sounds more like competition for chrome os. At the same time, it’s just an ipad on a kickstand with a keyboard.

Apple… Think about this first.

Its is just another avenue for iAd, way to go Steve…

so basically, Apple is creating an even BIGGER iPad and iPhone/iPod touch.

I REALLY hope this isn’t true. And if it is, i hope Apple does not decide to merge iOS and OSX together, or dump OSX period. I know it sounds crazy, but it is VERY possible. At this point Apple is very focused on their iPhone and iOS that it really wouldn’t surprise me if they dumped one for the other. However, they ARE known as a Computer company, so chances are sort of slim.

So basically, Apple is trying to lock down every product now as much as they can? Next thing you know, you will have to find a way to jailbreak your mac

What do you care what we think? What difference does it make?

Apple said back on D8 that little by little Desktops and laptops will go the way of the Dinosaur and tablets will take over.

Cleaning the iphone’s screen is
already a pain. Think about cleaning this one.

Only two words: WON’T HAPPEN. That’s it.

I bet Jobs will pretend this is an innovation of Apples as well. HP and other computer companies have been making solid touchscreen desktops for years.

Here’s another rumor I heard: NO.

That’s the dumbest rumor I’ve heard in a long time. Imagine dumping all of your current apps running in OSX. Any program that’s even considered “professional” would be obsolete?!? Haha. Try photo editing with your fingers, it’s hard enough with a trackpad! I could see a limited use for a touch screen on OSX and it would be cool, but iOS to be a main OS on todays desktop/laptop hardware… not any time soon.

Rumors are rumors.

where can I get my imac jaikbroken??!

Digging the Futurama background!

That’s dumb. It won’t be like that.

At least for the iMac, it makes sense to move it to the same platform as the iPad. If it moves to MacPros and MacBooks, that’s another story. Imagine any Adobe product making it through the app approval process as anti-adobe as they are now.

I can see a fingerprint-proof matte finish screen – as a $150 option

I use a Cintiq and although a normal iMac orientation makes no sense with multi-touch added . . . a screen that can me laid down almost flat would be dandy . . . especially if it has the kind of resolution the new iPhone has, I use my iPad this way all the time. I’d love to see some sort of hybrid laptop/desktop like an iMac with a docking station that you just grab and take mobile.

I believe it, but I don’t want to. I hate to think that perhaps one day people like me, who will always use what we call the GUI, will one day be like people who these days use a CLI…

bummer. When i bitched and moaned that i wanted a touchscreen imac a few years ago, i didn’t mean a useless shiny turd. i hope this rumor is a bunch of nonsense cause seriously, who wants to use the iOS…limited capacity OS inside a socialistically designed user interface…nope. sorry. Say…what’s google up to these days?…ummm…flash support on Android? yup.
