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.
HIGHLIGHTS
- The 27-inch iMac could soon be refreshed with new technology
- Suppliers are now shipping individual parts in limited quantities
- The upcoming iMac should rock Apple’s own chips and a mini-LED screen
Parts are shipping for Apple’s new iMac with mini LED
According to a new report from Taiwanese trade publication DigiTimes, hidden behind a paywall, deliveries of the individual components have now commenced to Apple’s partners tasked with the final assembly of the upcoming all-in-one desktop.
The shipments are said to be in limited quantities. No further details are available, but the report is likely referring to suppliers shipping individual components to larger manufacturers for final assembly as the new 27-inch iMac moves towards production.
Aside from a mini-LED screen and the second generation Apple silicon, the new 27-inch iMac is said to take advantage of Apple’s dynamic refresh rate technology dubbed ProMotion for smooth 120Hz scrolling.
Apple used to sell two distinct iMac models, one with a 21.5-inch display and the more powerful model with a massive 27-inch display and better internals. It’s redesigned the dream desktop with the April 24, 2021 release of the 24-inch iMac powered by the M1 chip. The flagship 27-inch model, however, didn’t get any updates back then.
