The Apple logo on the back may not glow like on those classic MacBooks, but it's definitely still radiating. Like past iMacs, it has a cutout that acts as a convenient window for a patch antenna.

The display shield features two horizontal slots that hang on corresponding tabs in the case—keeping the display securely mounted. History, but no markings, point to LG Display as a likely maker of this panel.

The stand’s hinge hardware is no longer accessible from the outside, so choose VESA from the outset or forever hold your peace—or an iMac opening wheel.
