Letting Apple control most facets of your computing experience is simply a fact of life for the Mac faithful, however the company could have gone too far for some with the most up-to-date iMac refresh . Desire to swap out that onerous drive for a larger one or replace a dead disk? You have got no option but to head straight to Apple due to a brand new proprietary cable and special firmware. The common-or-garden 4-pin SATA connector have been replaced with a 7-pin configuration that keeps you from hooking up just any old hard disk drive, and without that magical firmware the iMac won’t even boot. Remember, it’s the corporate that thinks swapping batteries is better left to the pros , uses a custom BIOS to maintain you from running OS X on non-Apple hardware, and compelled an organization to place the brakes on an SSD upgrade for the MacBook Air. Really, we’re kinda surprised the iMac doesn’t shock you should you attempt to pry it open.
