Apple works on redesigned iMac, two Mac Pros, cheaper display for 2021

The redesigned iMac is reportedly reminiscent of the Pro Display XDR, with slimmer edges and no metal chin, sources said. Bloomberg. The redesign, the company’s first since 2012, also says that the iMac moves from a curved back to a flatter rear end.

According to sources, the iMac update is Apple’s biggest visual redesign in 2021. There are apparently two versions of the iMac in development, codenamed J456 and J457, which represent the current 21.5-inch iMac and 27-inch iMac devices replace.

Both will use a new generation of first-party Apple Silicon processors that will also appear in the 2021 MacBook Pro series. Apple’s first piece of Mac silicone, the M1, launched in 2020.

Rumors in 2020 suggest that the company is working on a new iMac design with ‘iPad Pro design language’ and ‘Pro Display like bezels’. An iOS 14 icon that apparently represents a refreshed iMac was also discovered in 2020.

Apple released new iMac models in 2020, but the design of the 2012 series was the same.

Along with the iMac, Apple is also working on some new Mac Pro models. The first looks identical to the current version launched in 2019 and may continue to use Intel processors. The second variant, equipped with an Apple Silicon chip, can be about half the size and have a design that ‘can evoke nostalgia for the Power Mac G4 Cube’. Bloomberg report.

In November 2020, a report claims that Apple is working on a newly designed and smaller Mac Pro device – although the processing type is not clear. A month later, another report claimed that Apple was developing its own processors for its pro desktops and notebooks much faster, including a new Mac Pro.

The company is also said to be working on a cheaper external monitor as part of the new Mac desktop effort. No other information on the monitor is available, other than the fact that it will be much cheaper than the $ 4,999 Pro Display XDR.
