In the second half of last year, a large number of new products equipped with Apple’s silicon-based M1 chips were released. If 2020 is the first year, 2021 will be the year to lay a foothold for popularization. There are compatibility issues moving over from the Intel X86 architecture. But the incredibly good performance, heat management, and battery efficiency make it a game changer.
Rumor of iMac
John Prosser, IT tipper, who showed a high hit rate of rumors about Apple’s new product, recently made an interesting claim on YouTube channel. It is rumor that Apple will offer five color options such as silver, space gray, green, sky blue, and rose gold. It likes the 4th generation of the iPad Air and AirPod Max in the new iMac 2021.
However, the rendered image is a virtual design created based on what John Prosser himself heard. Therefore, it can be quite different from what it actually looks like. In the case of the 1st generation iMac released in 1998, it became an issue by providing colorful colors such as blue, purple, orange, green, and pink. Inspired by this, it will apply representative colors of the current most popular Apple. In order not to pass the fashion, it should be released at the latest in the summer of 2021.
In addition, some rumors about the Mac Mini Pro were released. It will three to four small PCs, Mac minis, are stacked. In rendering, it looks like a design similar to the Apple G4 Cube. In fact, both the mini and the pro are sub-naming. So it seems quite difficult to determine the order in which they will be placed. It will have a computing unit like an Apple silicon chip at the bottom and a huge heatsink at the top. In addition, there is a possibility of adding an expansion space or improving an I/O (input/output) port.
