Will mid 2017 iMac 5K get dust in the screen like the previous models？

"Chimin in as the owner of an iMac. 2017 models are still susceptible from what I have gathered. My “advice” would be to try to get the screen swapped as soon as possible within the warranty or apple care period.

My understanding is that Apple is aware of that problem, and they won’t try to deny it. Many people were able to get the screen replaced — a guy an YouTube cleaned it manually, which could be another option if your mac is no longer under warranty and feel brave enough.

This is such a shame, iMacs (especially retina ones) are gorgeous, and the whole concept of having an entire computer embedded in a gorgeous screen is imho unmatched.

I am wondering if iMac pro will also be susceptible to that issue, as in a few years, they will be cheaper."

I've owned 4 iMacs in the last 13 years, and they all (except my current 2017 model) had fan noise / overheating issues after 2-3 years, which is why I replaced them. I never noticed the screen issues, but will pay more attention with my 2017 model. If it starts having problems in the next year or two, I may no longer buy iMacs.

Hi, just noticed dark shapes in the bottom corners of my iMac 21.5” 2017 4K. Is this dust? Can it be fixed and how? Thanks!
