This would be an amazing upgrade for the iMacs (the Pro models already use a dual-SSD arrangement for their storage) that could increase speed and quality of life with one simple stroke. We’d also like to see better universal iMac compatibility with satellite iPads (and other devices) for more complex projects that are currently only supported by the Pro. For example, UHS-II SD card support would be great for content creators, and that advanced cooling technology that the Pro uses would be welcome on all iMac models. But we would really love to see some of the more universally useful features come to other iMacs in 2018. Obviously, if the iMac Pro line survives then it has to have elite features that set it apart. It would be very fun if new versions of the iMac got access to advanced hexacore processors like the iMac Pro, and a good way to create more iMac purchase options for buyers who really want to customize their machines. The Intel chips inside iMacs are also likely to get an annual update.

It’s not that big of a leap to assume that all iMacs will be getting their own Apple co-processors for a performance boost. The T1 and T2 co-processors in the newer versions of the iPhone and iPad are a great example of these slow efforts, and the iMac Pro had its own co-processor to work with. More Apple-based chips Sam Lionheart/iFixitĪpple has been slowly transitioning toward supplying its own chips for a number of devices.

So let’s go through the rumors and spell out what we’d like to see. We also know that a redesigned Mac Pro is set for release sometime in 2019. We already know that Apple is probably going to launch three new Mac models this year, and one of those may be a brand new iMac line, which gives us plenty to work with. Fitbit Versa 3Īpple may have a lot up its sleeve when it comes to iMac 2018 models - and we can’t wait! While the June WWDC event may reveal some details for Apple’s all-in-one computer line, we don’t know much about what will be announced.
