The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has published yet another application for registration of an invention claimed by Apple.. As follows from the description in the document published on the website of the department, we are talking about the design of a new iMac computer.

The key feature of the new product is its design.. The desktop computer is a monolithic piece of glass curving at the bottom. The screen smoothly goes into the block where the keyboard and touchpad are located, and on one of the pages of the patent a similar element is presented, but without a built-in keyboard - it is expected that such a solution can be implemented in a proprietary docking station for Apple laptops. The vertical element behind the screen should simultaneously fulfill the role of a stand and the role of a housing to accommodate the necessary iMac components.

According to patent documents, Apple plans to equip such a computer with a system for adjusting the angle of the screen and even completely closing the device to put it into sleep mode. About when an innovative Mac may appear - no information. It is possible that it will not appear at all, since for large companies it is in the order of things to protect their promising ideas and developments with patents even without concrete plans for their implementation.
