Apple's Intel-based 27-inch iMac could soon be supplanted by an Apple silicon-powered model featuring a bright display with mini LED backlighting and other perks.
In 2021, Apple launched a brand new, redesigned iMac with a 24-inch display. The company added the M1 processor under the hood, along with a few other key changes, to help spice up its desktop lineup. To help with that, the new computer also comes in a wide range of colors. But now a new rumor aims to shed some light on Apple's pro aspirations for the desktop lineup.
A leaker with an established track record claims that an Apple silicon edition of the iMac Pro all-in-one desktop is in the works, with claimed new features such as Apple's latest M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, a mini-LED display featuring dark bezels, the possibility of Face ID, some of the legacy ports found on the redesigned MacBook Pro and other tidbits.
Apple is predicted to release a new 27-inch iMac model featuring a backlighting module based on mini-LED technology and dynamic refresh rates up to 120Hz, among other things.
Apple today confirmed an official release date for the highly anticipated macOS Monterey update. In the press release for its new MacBook Pros, the company noted that macOS Monterey will be available to the public on October 25.
One developer's decided to pay a creative tribute to Steve Jobs on the tenth anniversary of his passing by turning a vintage iMac G4 all-in-one desktop into a modern Apple silicon system.
Earlier this year, Apple welcomed a redesigned, much more colorful iMac to the lineup. With its 24-inch display, an the M1 processor under the hood, it certainly stands out as a great new desktop option. However, availability is still not great, and some color options aren't available in Apple's physical retail stores at all.
Not too long ago, I asked how your desk has changed since the start of all this work-from-home fervor started. With so many day-to-day routines changing, it only made sense that some folks' workstations --whether temporary or permanent-- had changed over the last year or so.
It's been a few months since Apple launched the brand new, much more colorful 24-inch iMac. And for folks who have been waiting until refurbished models start popping up on the market to make a purchase, the wait is over. Mostly. Stock isn't quite as robust as one might like, but for folks in the United Kingdom there's at least one option ready to buy now.
It feels like forever ago now, but I once had a desktop. Something I'd use every single day by saddling up to a desk and typing away on a wired, less-than-great keyboard. A mouse and not a trackpad. Part of those years was as a kid, either with an early day Mac or early day PC, and most of that time was spent playing old computer games.
Over the last year and some change, what going to work looks like has changed quite a bit for a lot of people. What used to be a daily grind with traffic and public transport, or parking, or whatever else it might've been, now relies more on stable WiFi and kids not barging in on us during a Zoom call. But, what about our desks?
While there are still some major issues hindering businesses all over the world, Apple continues to march ahead. Not so surprisingly, the company had yet another strong quarter over the middle of 2021. And today the company's revealing how well things went over the course of the last three months.
