It has been many years since the iMac had a serious makeover, but\u00a0that\u2019s about to change in a big way, according to Sonny Dickson, who previously predicted the HomePod\u00a0as well as several iPad and iPhone models with impeccable accuracy. The long-time leaker is reporting that\u00a0a new iMac will launch at WWDC<\/a> with a brand new design inspired by the iPad Pro and Pro Display XDR.<\/p>\n Apple last updated the iMac\u00a0more than a year ago with faster processors and better graphics. It has been far longer since it has seen a new design\u2014the current model was introduced in 2012, but Apple hasn\u2019t strayed much from the unified design that replaced the iconic iMac G4 in 2004. The only thing that\u2019s really changed is the materials (plastic to aluminum), the size of the bezels, and the thinness of the enclosure.<\/p>\n A Pro Display XDR-like design would be a major shift for the all-in-one desktop, eliminating the sizable chin that has adorned Apple\u2019s popular Mac since its 1998 debut. With significantly smaller bezels, it\u2019s possible that the screen size could increase from the current 21.5-inch and 27-inch offerings.<\/p>\n Additionally, Dickson says the iMac will gain AMD Navi GPUs and SSD drives. The current models use Radeon Pro graphics and Apple\u2019s Fusion drives<\/a>, which combine a spinning Serial ATA drive with an SSD one for a lower-cost alternative. iMacs start at 1TB, so it\u2019s possible that capacities could shrink to keep prices low.<\/p>\n Earlier today, Bloomberg reported that Apple will also announce its transition away from Intel processors at WWDC, though a new iMac will almost certainly still use Intel\u2019s chips, possibly adopting the new \u201cComet Lake\u201d line<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t<\/p>\n\nNote: When you purchase something after clicking links in our articles, we may earn a small commission.
