Filing unique patents is Apple’s game. But every now and then we see Apple register a patent that surprises us more than normal. In a recent patent application published by the US Patent and Trademark Office for an “Electronic Device with Glass Housing Member”, shows that Apple is considering to re-design the iMac.

In its basic form, the iMac would consist of a single glass which will be curved at the lower edge. This part will reside on the desk and will be used to hold input devices. The upper portion of this glass will house the embedded display. The display will be held up by the glass structure and Apple could also include the iSight camera in its usual place at the top of the display.
