I thought you were talking about the article which does an excellent job of speculating that it will mean the release of either this or that.

That’s the pettiest forum post I’ve seen all day. It would benice to have a font that automatically assigns Different colours to words.
I think any new hardware intel or ARM based would be welcome at this point.
I've been holding off on an Apple TV, home desktop, and new AirPods for a while... I did pick up a new HomePod at the 199.99 price from BestBuy.

Pettiest?
Anyhow... I'll say 2:1 odds the iMac release is this week.
Maybe even tomorrow.
It’s colour coded to help him remember. And the sizing is for easy comprehension. My style is truly innovative.
There is an ARM Mac, it’s called the DTF Mac Mini, you can buy one from Apple. They let you own it temporarily.
I think you're thinking of the DTK, developer transition kit. The DTF Mac Mini is a much different machine.
It’s been suggested that said tweeter lives in a country where stating such information as fact could get you in one form of trouble or another, so some couch it in the “In my dream...” format to make it harder to come after them.
They don't need a new HomePod, they need to make a sound bar with a built in Apple TV that also doubles as a smart speaker. 1 cable into your TV for sound and TV. They would own the TV market in no time. Let others make the displays, and they own the rest of the experience. A lot of people use their Sound Bars to play music these day anyway and don't need a dedicated speaker, especially one as limited and expensive as the HomePod. Don't know why they haven't done this. Or just buy Sonos already.
All I've been waiting for is the Apple TV... business-wise it made sense to launch it with Apple TV+ or at least now with everyone home during the pandemic.
Perhaps the pandemic has impacted shipping more than we assume but there should have been a push to get it launched sooner than later.

Handing out a grain of salt to everyone, lest they get their hopes up too high and don’t know how to get back on the ground of here and now.
I like the way you creatively mix your metaphors.
In my case I have no skin in the game, as I have a 2017 iMac, which is good for me probably for another 5 years (assuming it doesn't break before then). At that point Arm on Mac will long since have fully matured, with extensive 3rd party support so switching to Arm then will be a piece of cake. In fact by that time it will be appropriate to switch, because some 3rd party developers will cease to develop for Intel Macs around that time I think.
However, my expectation of an imminent iMac release is based on the rumours, available information, and the fact it's almost been a year and a half since the last release.
You’re right, for people in the market for a Mac they should instead invest in leasing a dev kit that won’t run any of the software they need because it hasn’t been made yet. that’s a true alternative.
Apple's third-quarter ended June 30th. Their fiscal year begins October 1st. (Accurate but I guess this adds to the confusion, eh?)
I’ve echoed this thinking as well.
But then it struck me the other day that perhaps the pandemic has slowed production so much that content pegged to appear on Apple TV+, didn’t make it.
So it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense promoting a new Apple TV set top box(with hopefully new remote), with little new content. It might be why Apple has delayed this launch.
A new Apple TV would certainly do the trick - I've been holding off on upgrading my five year old 4th-generation device, but the lack of 4K will soon be a dealbreaker.
The chances of user upgraded ram is got to be next to nothing. I cannot fathom Apple allowing this. Honestly it's not a massive deal like in the past as Ram isn't stupidly expensive as it once was though this would still obviously be more money.
Except that he (she?) is actually quite reliable. Apparently he starts tweets with "in my dream" because of Chinese law. If you "dream" it, it's not a leak, so he can't be criminally charged or sued over leaked info. I'm not sure if that's true, but it makes sense. Each of his tweets opens with "in my dream" and his track record is pretty impressive.
