Although taste is a very subjective aspect, it is true that most iMac users appreciate the careful design of this. And although it cannot be said that they have a poor quality finish or that it is ugly, the truth is that it already looks somewhat out of date with those black frames covering the screen. In their day it could be said that they were ahead of their time, but more than a decade later it has hardly changed and it is tremendously difficult to distinguish them. This is where the rumors and concepts of a new design for iMac come in and precisely in this article we analyze one of the most desired concepts.
A hybrid between iPad and Pro Display XDR
Two years ago Apple presented its last Mac Pro in CPU format, although they also took the opportunity to launch a spectacular screen that may be its perfect complement: the so-called Pro Display XDR. Precisely the latter has been the one that has opened the debate about the design of the classic desktop iMac and there are those who already dream of seeing a redesign in this computer with similarity to this screen. Precisely the video that you can see below shows it in a very visual way, although it also reminds us particularly of the screen of an iPad Pro or iPad Air.
This video created by designer Khahn Design Experience makes us salivate showing what he says is an iMac Pro . In a way, this idea is not completely misplaced, since in the end it is Apple’s most powerful iMac and it is expected to be also redesigned. In fact, only one generation of this device has been launched and it was in 2017, so 2021 would not be a bad year to see its successor and if it is with a new design it is even more so.
In time with the Apple Silicon
2020 has certainly been the year of the Macs. Or at least it has been the beginning of an era that seems to be very promising. The Apple Silicon, the processors designed by the company with ARM architecture, are already present in the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini in the form of the M1 chip. This processor has left us all speechless by being extremely efficient and throwing practically no errors. In fact, it is even possible to use iPhone apps on Macs with this type of chip, so the well-known “Apple ecosystem” is further enriched.
Although Apple continues to indicate that the transition of the developers will take 2 years, the truth is that the speed of these and the good work of the company with its first processors for Mac make us optimistic. That is why it would not be out of place to see an iMac, whether ‘Pro’ or not, with these new chips. And aside from this internal makeover, it would be an excellent time to change your external appearance as well. There are rumors that this will happen, although it is not known with certainty if it will be in 2021. In any case, dreaming is free and today the expectation is very high.
