If tomorrow, new redesign iMac arrive, you will?

If tomorrow, new redesign iMac arrive.

1 If it comes with A14 CPU, and many major software (including Abode) isn't ready, are you buy it?
2 If it comes with Intel 10th Gen, and you known ARM CPU is around the corner (and it more faster, get longer support blah blah blah), are you buy it?

Will buy maxed out BTO the minute it appears on the Apple website. It will be Intel no way is it ARM as many have said before.

If Apple released a new iMac tomorrow,it said next year an arm iMac is coming, then I’m waiting 2 more years to upgrade. I want neither the last, nor the first of a CPU design. I learned that from the PPC-intel transition.

1. Nope, not until ARM is supported by software I use. Which also means not until there is widespread support in software on Windows. Although if x86 emulation in macOS and Windows is fast enough for equivalent performance of current higher end x86 CPU. That may change my mind.

2. If I was in the market and Apple gave a firm OS support guideline of seven years of major OS updates plus two more of security updates. The 680x0 to PowerPC and PowerPC to Intel transitions make me too cautious of yet another transition.

Not even tempted...and this is a first for me after several years of always wanting the latest greatest. The iMac I'm sitting here typing this on (2019 3.7 i5, 1TB SSD, 48 GB ram, and a Vega 48) rips through ANYthing I throw at it and though hard to believe, I've never heard the fan ramp up to audible levels (in fact I've sometimes wondered if it was working but the iMac stays room temp all the time...never gets hot). It feels really good to be completely satisfied with what, so far, is the perfect configuration for me. Hoping it will give me another 6/7/8 years of service. Oh...and, like velicityg4, all the software I use runs perfect so I'm leery, or maybe "concerned" is a better word, of ARM or any other changes Apple might make in the new machines. Just my $0.02 but then again I'm also still using 2015 MBP's 13" (3.9 i5) and 15" (3.5 i7) with no desire to "upgrade" those either. They perform flawlessly.

I’d get it if I have an old Mac I wanted to upgrade. Intel Macs will be supported for at least another 7-8 years.

I’d like to upgrade from my 2012, but it still does what I need it to do. Will have to see what the specs are.

Easy pass. Switched to mac mini a year ago.
