Can I trade in/return my new Mac?

I really despise my new Mac and can't get over the 24" screen. I find myself staying in the office later just so I can continue to use my just amazing 27". I've had this thing for a month and just cannot get into it. Getting a Mac mini with a 27" display is equally as undesirable. Zero interest in a desk with more clutter on it...

What's with a Mac Mini and a 3rd party monitor contributing to desk clutter. The iMac sits under the monitor and is completely out of the way. I have a Mac Mini M4 with a 32" LG 4k monitor and is doesn't take any more space that my previous 27" 2017 iMac.

Is this the current model: "iMac 24-inch 2024 M4?" If so, current models do not qualify for trade-in.


You can sell yours privately if it's the current model. However, before doing so, read and follow this important Apple article:

Yes, people are missing the iMac 27, but Apple won't see you displeasure these user-to-user forums. We are not Apple's complaint department.


If you wish an Apple employee to see your concern, I invite you to use this feedback link:

While I completely agree with you, I thought Old Toad's recent picture from another Discussion may be of interest. Hope he doesn't mind me posting it here.



I would not characterize it as clutter, but that's for you to decide.
