Several new Apple devices are expected to launch this year, including an affordable 23-inch iMac, as well as its own game controller for Apple TV and iOS devices. According to the China TimesApple plans to launch a 23-inch iMac, which could replace the existing 21.5-inch model. This is the first time we’ve heard that Apple is working on a 23-inch “affordable” iMac model.
Right now, the entry-level iMac comes with either a 21.5-inch or 27-inch iMac. If Apple brings a 23-inch model to market, it will likely replace the old 21.5-inch iMac. Expect the new iMac to have the same design but with much thinner bezels.
Currently, the cheapest iMac you can buy is the 21.5-inch model that starts at $ 1099. Unfortunately, the 21.5-inch iMac lacks a Retina display and SSD. The report states that the new iMac will go into production sometime in the third quarter of this year, meaning that the launch is likely to occur in September or October.

Apple may be developing its own gaming controller
Last year, Apple brought support for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One game consoles on iOS 13. But it appears that Apple is already developing its own game controller for Apple TV and iOS devices. The information comes from an anonymous Twitter account called @ L0vetodream.
It is not surprising to see why Apple works on its game controller. Apple has a game subscription service called Apple Arcade, which is available for Rs 99 a month. Since Apple now has a dedicated game subscription service, the company may come with its own game controller that works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.
Another theory of game controller development is that Apple plans to turn its Apple TV box into a game console. 9to5Mac reports that the controller is part of Apple’s plan to “put a lot of effort into Apple Arcade in the future.” The next Apple TV, to be released this year, could include Apple’s A12 processor and improved graphics performance.
