It's kind of a shame the designs basically just kept being a refined iMac G5 style, the changes between G3->G4->G5 were really cool at the time (even if G4 is the best since you can actually adjust the height of the screen). I'm glad they at least brought some fun back to the iMac with the M1 colors.

I mean, how else would you design a screen with computer inside. Nowadays most smart TVs are the same but with weaker boards.

I remember the G4 with great fondness; my dad's G4 was what I did homework and gamed on as a highschooler, and then when he retired it I brought it to college and it served as our living room 'jukebox' for another five years.

I loved the commercial of the guy head booping and the computer did the same moves then he would stick his tongue out and the dvd tray would pop out!

You can not understate how important the iMac was to Steve Jobs' plan to save Apple.
