Glass / flat keybaodrs are crap to sue for any lenght of time, that's 
why so many companies sell external keyboards for tablets.

That's due next year ... maybe.

Borderless displays are pointlessly silly waste of time for most people 
... "I gained an extra half an inch of display" ... whoop-de-doo!!   :-\
(Even sillier are the 'wrap around the edge' displays some fools keep 
trying to put on mobile phones! All you get is distortion where it 
curves around the edge.)

The only time a borderless display would be of any use is for the tiny 
minority who have multiple displays pushed up against each other to 
make a larger 'single' display (even then you'll still see a 'join').



> and consumes less space.

The only real way to make an iMac take up "less space" is to have a 
smaller display size, which isn't gonna happen.

Johny Ive could make the thing even thinner by dumping SSD for storage 
and simply using RAM chips soldered onto the motherboard ... or even 
having NO storage at all and forcing people to use external drives or 
the cloud. (It's not like Apple hasn't dumped internal storage options 
before - just look at the missing floppy drive on the G3 iMac, and the 
missing DVD-burners on later iMacs.)
