Leaker suggests new Apple products are ‘ready to ship’ amid rumors of Intel-based iMac update

While it seems hard to believe, nearly a month has already passed since WWDC 2020’s main presentation, where Apple unveiled its latest software updates and confirmed that it will transition to Macs with custom-designed processors. A late-breaking rumor suggested that Apple also planned to unveil a redesigned iMac with thinner bezels at the event, but there were no hardware updates.

However, the wait for new hardware may end soon, as the proven “L0vetodream” filter has suggested that Apple has at least some new “ready-to-ship” products. As usual, the tweet was quite cryptic, without providing further details.

The same Twitter account has revealed several precise details about Apple’s upcoming hardware and software, including the launch time for the new iPhone SE and iPad Pro models earlier this year, the trade name macOS Big Sur, the wash feature. hands on watchOS 7, handwriting. Scribble text feature on iPadOS 14 and more.

It is unclear which Apple products may be imminent, but the iMac is a strong candidate. Last month, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Apple plans to update its existing Intel-based iMac in the third quarter of 2020, which runs until the end of September, before launching an iMac with Apple Silicon later this year. It’s unclear if the Intel-based iMac update would include a redesign, or if that would hold for the Apple Silicon model.

We’re also still waiting for Apple’s rumored AirTags item trackers, which would compete with Tile. MacRumors leaked various details about AirTags last year, but we haven’t heard much on this front since Apple accidentally leaked the AirTags name in a support video in April. It is unclear if and when Apple will launch the accessory.

Apple is also rumored to be planning high-end headphones for its launch this year, but again, the exact timeline is still unclear.

Sure, a new Apple TV is overdue, and the box was last updated in September 2017. We’ve been hearing rumors about a new Apple TV with an A12 chip or later for a while now, but there has been no announcement.

As for the HomePod, rumors have suggested that Apple is working on a smaller, lower-priced model for launch this year. There have been some signs that a new HomePod may be on the horizon, such as inventory being depleted at times and Best Buy repeatedly offering the speaker for sale for $ 199.99, but a specific release date is not yet known.

Low-end iPhone and iPad updates are not expected until the fall, followed by new AirPods and a larger 8.5-inch iPad mini in 2021.
