The last time we saw Apple refresh the iMac was in May earlier this year where they introduced a slightly more affordable 27-inch model. Then last month we heard the rumors that maybe a 4K 21.5-inch iMac could be in the works and now thanks to a report by KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, it seems that we could expect new iMacs in this quarter.
It is unclear as to what kind of refresh we’re looking at, but presumably it will sport faster and newer hardware. Interestingly enough Kuo also notes that these new iMacs could feature better quality LED displays. This will apparently involve the use of an LED phosphor material called KSF which will apparently help boost color saturation.
However apart from those alleged changes, Kuo does not mention if the rumored 4K 21.5-inch iMac will make an appearance. While this is just his opinions and predictions, it should be noted that Kuo has been pretty accurate when it comes to predicting what Apple will be launching, so there is a good chance his prediction for the new iMacs could be spot on.
In any case if you’re thinking of getting a new iMac or maybe upgrading your existing model, perhaps you should wait and see what Apple could have planned. The Cupertino company will most likely have an event planned in September to launch the new iPhones, so maybe, just maybe, we will learn more then.
