Will there ever be a new large iMac (Pro)?

[Kjs100]

Again. It's five weeks old and the same guy was saying last Monday sounds good till everybody back paddled.

Are you talking about Jiorīku - who you said is one of the good guys? I'm not sure why you think that.

Irrespective of whether that 'Apple Rumors' guy posted 5 weeks ago, Jioriku thinks the prediction is correct as at today's date.

I note what these 'leakers' say and if others are saying the same thing, then it can accumulate to something perhaps more reliable. As it stands I'm inclined to go with Prosser's August.

You sound like you‘re that guy. I mean, why would ANYONE defend a random twitter nobody that has had zero predictions...
Posts like that should be reported as spam - macrumors is obviously not a place for spamming about random 12-year-old „leakers“ with no credibility.

So he is 12 is he? Where did you that info from; one of your sources?

I didnt defend him; I stated his position. I've already stated I don't go with his prediction. Do you not read?

Irrespective of my opinion of him he has been quoted in several articles. Why don't you contact Appleinsider and Tomsguide and put them right? Sounds like you know a lot more than they do.

Imminent iMac launch rumors doubted by prominent leaker | AppleInsider

A prominent leaker has cast doubt on rumors that a 2020 iMac update will take place this week, instead suggesting that the product refresh is more likely to take place in August, though without any major redesigns.

iMac 2020 could launch in August — but there's bad news

Apple iMac 2020 will be a simple Intel processor refresh with no ARM-based chips

I feel Sep/Oct is just better overall. And I really hope I'm right as that could give us some goodies.
Also, it would be closer to ARM release also which is much better to judge the performance and decide rather then release in august, get iMac and then see from first AS how trashy the iMac is compared to AS.

I think Apple is waiting for Intel and AMD to have the parts ready for them because if they are not using either of those then we would have the update already. You will see, that as soon as AMD announces release then there will be the update.

My bet is on October (late October to be precise)

So much chest-beating going on here!! Why is everyone getting so worked up about the validity of the leakers? Take it as light entertainment!!!

There are more pressing issues to be worked up about than an iMac.

"he has been quoted" does not mean he has ANY credibility at all. And, come on, appleinsider - really? They dropped so much in quality and are tier 5 by this point.

The guy you linked is a literal nobody until proven otherwise, and we don't need that much useless noise, we have enough already.

It's very hard to be a leaker, and there are so few reputable ones. As much as I dislike Jon Prosser, for example, you can't say he hasn't established somewhat of a track record (still has to prove himself much more of course), but he still faces so much negativity since he is new to the game.

Twitter nobodies are just that - nobodies, and should be ignored. It is literally just spam and akin to me posting tweets from my brother on his predictions when a new Apple product comes out.

This is, after all, a serious forum and site, and is heavily moderated, so there should be absolutely no place for these annoying and unproven kids that just want their five minutes in the "Apple forum spotlight".

No, in two years the ENTIRE Mac lineup will be replaced according to Tim Cook. That includes Mac Pro. Apple won't launch any Intel iMacs after AS iMacs and there is no chance that Apple would introduce one low-end AS iMac that is worse than any existing iMac and let the top iMac use Intel. When AS iMac is introduced the ENTIRE iMac lineup will use AS. That's the way it was when Apple switched from PPC to Intel. Any other way is simply illogical.

I am not sure how my statement was incorrect? It will take 2 years to get the entire Mac lineup converted to Apple Silicon is the same thing I said. Mac Pro will be the last to be updated. iMac Pro if it survives and the top of the line 27" iMac will be on the last ones to be updated too.

I'm not advocating anyone believe what he says but as far as I'm aware he was the first to state, on 26 July, that the intel iMacs would not be redesigned. Jon Prosser posted the same thing in a tweet 23 hours later. Sonny Dickson had most people expecting a redesigned intel iMac and while it might happen, it appears to be in doubt now. As I've already said, I'll trust Prosser for an August release before I'd trust Jioriku.

People are posting rumours on this thread from all sorts of tweeters and it's up to each individual to make up their own mind. I'm happy to make my own determination without advocating a censorship of any source I don't trust. If you feel so strong about it, and clearly you do, why don't you report the posts your unhappy with and let the moderators decide. You only need to press one link and you'll have your answer as to whether the moderators agree with you or not. By all means start with my post on Jioriku and we'll see what the moderators opinion is.

I wanna caution everyone to temper their feelings... but then I look at our page count and am like ... COME ON 300 PAGES KEEP BICKERING!

If the next top iMac will have i9-10850K 10/20 c/t 3.6-5.2 GHz and Radeon 5600M Apple surely must be confident of being able to beat those specs and that performance with the first top AS iMac. It would be very bad if the top AS iMac underperformed but imagine the performance if it outperformed the top Intel iMac.

It will be 2 years before the top performing systems are replaced.

I am not sure how my statement was incorrect? It will take 2 years to get the entire Mac lineup converted to Apple Silicon is the same thing I said. Mac Pro will be the last to be updated. iMac Pro if it survives and the top of the line 27" iMac will be on the last ones to be updated too.

Your statement wasn't incorrect since we don't have the actual facts, but I said I don't agree with your hypothesis. You responded to my comment about the next top Intel iMac and the possible performance of the incoming AS iMac. When you wrote "It will be 2 years before the top performing systems are replaced" I naturally assumed you were talking about the incoming top AS iMac since it's one of "the top performing systems".

I see that you repeat the same statement again, that "the top of the line 27" iMac will be on the last ones to be updated". That is the statement I don't agree with. The whole iMac lineup (not iMac Pro) will switch to AS at once, not model by model, just like the last time. There won't be a 21.5" or 24" lowend AS iMac first alongside with a Intel iMac i9-10850K as the top model.

Just imagine how bad it would look on Apple store with a lowend AS iMac at the bottom and an Intel iMac at the top.

It didn't look bad when the most powerful Mac was still on PowerPC as the far more popular models transitioned to Intel, so why would it look bad if the most popular models move to Apple Silicon while least popular continue with Intel for another year or so?

Jiorīkus post was five weeks ago. Don't know how it happened to be this sundays news to you. Read the tweet you quoted, it is from June 25th. Today is third of august.

"Apple Rumors" is one of the worst accounts out there.
Jiorīku is one of the good guys. Pretty much everyone has been wrong about iMac Dates this year.

I'd question the seriousness of this thread. A vast majority of this thread is built upon hyperbole information which is no different from what the leakers are saying. if the leakers are seeking glory then so is everyone else in this thread.

This thread is spiraling out of control.

 

[Freida]

Nah! Its just people who care. Simple human characteristic - the more you care the more passionate you can be about it.

Its also pandemic etc. Lets just all be a bit more understanding here.

Afterall, there won't be new iMacs for a while so we might just as well have fun here

Because that's when I read his post and I wanted to say I thought it was BS. I know what today's date is; Ive no need for a speaking calendar.

How did you determine that Jioriku is one of the good guys? And if Jioriku is ratifying Apple Rumours leaks it sounds strange that you rate Jioriku.

 

[dapa0s]

Tim Cook is obviously just trying to distract us from the current problems the world is facing by delaying the release of the iMac.

I already asked this once so sorry in advance for the double post.

Think the 21.5 will get updated along side the 27? That would really help me out since all I need is a descent desktop with a dedicated graphics. Plus it would save me some $

No idea. Theoretically yes it should get RDNA1 and Intel 10th gen, but no one knows for sure if 21.5 will be upgraded.

 

[xgman]

People who say "this is what will happen", have no idea what they are talking about. THAT, you can count on.

 

[Juzo Fuwa]

Yo Apple. More stimulus loot is coming. You want a cut of it or not ??!!

 

[Freida]

We now know that nothing will happen this week or next so I guess this will be pretty boring.

I do wonder though if Apple will 'leak' something to keep it alive

Just imagine how bad it would look on Apple store with a lowend AS iMac at the bottom and an Intel iMac at the top.

It won't take much for an AS 21.5 iMac to replace the dual core i5. However, replacing the rumored 10th gen i9 iMac will be approaching on the base iMac Pro and Mac Pro performance. The top of the line 27", iMac Pro and Mac Pro will be the last ones to be replaced. There is a MASSIVE gap between a dual core i5 and 10-core i9 (or 8 cores, not sure what Apple specific 10th gen will have).

It seems to me that the TOTL iMac will be one of the last Macs to use AS. If Apple continues with it’s past marketing the Mac Mini will be upgraded using AS a while after the release of the TOTL iMac. I also would think that Apple would release the AS Mac Pro before the AS Mac Mini to help optimize sales of it’s Mac Pro. So the Mac Mini could be the last Mac to get AS. I’m not sure where a AS iMac Pro would fit in if it even does.

I would think the Mac mini would be one of the first ones. That is what the dev kit is technically.

I do hope they have at least one more update to the iMac Pro.
