Previously Reliable Leaker CoinX Suggests New iMac and Mac Mini Models Are Coming Soon

[jumanji]

Hopefully a new design for the iMac and please, please no more 5400 rpm drives being offered

yes please! it's time. maybe a curve? and make vesa mounting easier than having to buy some cheap adapter.

 

[jclardy]

The iMac sorely needs a design refresh. One side bezel is thicker than the entire bezel around a 16” MBP.

 

[Moonjumper]

I know it's almost like you don't have a choice to select SSD 😂😂😂

I wouldn't mind so much if you could walk into a store and buy an iMac with an SSD instead of having to wait for a BTO.

 

[dombera]

Damn, just bought 2018 mini i7. I am now thinking of returning it and waiting for the refreshed one...

 

[maflynn]

You forgot to add the statement "and without price increase".

I'm not holding out much hope - I mean we're talking about a company that charges 1,000 for a monitor stand and 400 for wheels (that don't have any locks to stop rolling)

 

[Moonjumper]

The Fusion I would be happy with is all SSD. NVMe paired with a larger SATA. Very high speed for the critical storage (128GB minimum) and cheaper, but still fast, storage for everything else.

 

[reallynotnick]

Can we get a Mac Mini with AMD 4000 series APUs? Or even just an Intel chip with a decent GPU? Throw in upgradable storage or at the very least double the storage across the line and WiFi 6 and it might be time for me to upgrade my 2012 Mac Mini.

 

[PickUrPoison]

I hope that they redesign the Mac Mini to be thicker if they are going with the i9.

A 6 core i7 is already throttling in its current form.

The i7 mini actually runs above its rated speed.

 

[MarkAtl]

Apple will release the Mac Mini so they don’t have to fix the eGPU debacle.

 

[AZcjohnson]

An AMD powered Macmini ? Oh, yes please...

Nope, it's ARM powered, everything is soldered, runs TVos

 

[PickUrPoison]

It's time for all of Apple's devices to standardize on SSD storage. No more spinning HDD or Fusion Drives.

Ok, but that’s how the mini went from a $599 to a $799 base price.

 

[fokmik]

yes please! it's time. maybe a curve? and make vesa mounting easier than having to buy some cheap adapter.

very hard to make an all in one with an curve display...you lose a lot of space inside, not great for thermals,cooling

 

[TobyR]

Target display mode … just sayin'

 

[dumastudetto]

Ok, but that’s how the mini went from a $599 to a $799 base price.

It costs what it costs, but the experience is so lousy with a spinning drive that nobody should be able to buy one anymore.

 

[CarlJ]

Please bring back the desk lamp form factor. Easy swiveling is a must in my office and they could make the 2020 version even better.

They’ll use the existing design and simply add optional wheels. Problem solved.

 

[smulji]

Ok, but that’s how the mini went from a $599 to a $799 base price.

I'm okay with that since SSD's provide a much better user experience especially APFS which is known to have problems with HDD drives.

 

[MacD]

Blah. I just bought a new iMac 2 months ago.

 

[Putzytart]

YES PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE. I am desperate for a new desktop and I’m not a billionaire so can’t afford the Mac Pro. I sincerely hope it’s a new iMac chassis with thin bezels and no chin, but I suspect they might wait for new ARM chipped iMacs Next year to introduce a new design. Really hoping they don’t.

 

[rmoliv]

After the “one more thing” flop one better not believe him anymore.

 

[BWhaler]

Honestly, I fear a re-designed imac. Still will have been the misguided work of Jonny Ive, so it’ll be beautiful and thinner for no reason, and severely compromised in tons of unacceptable ways. ive’s lost touch with what he was making too long ago.

agreed on the 5400 rpm. Hostile behavior by Apple showing no respect for their customers.

 

[bsamcash]

If Apple can drop the Mac mini back down to original price of $499 my cheap ass may actually buy one.

 

[FasterQuieter]

I'd like Mac Mini with some graphics horsepower. A Ryzen APU would suffice. I love my Mac Mini, but it struggles with FCP, and I don't want an ungainly external GPU. I also don't want an iMac. If it just had a couple TFLOPS of graphics compute, it would be perfect.

 

[gigapocket1]

Here’s to hope of them releasing a Mac Pro Mini lol. I really don’t think they went that far into designing all that for the Mac Pro and not release something for semi pro people. Give me an i9 with expandable pci and Unsoldered ran. And I’m in. They would sell like hotcakes!

 

[SuprUsrStan]

I just had a thought.

What if they redesigned the mac mini to be that "Modular Mac Pro" that we heard about.

All they need to do is beef up the cooling potential of the Mac Mini, add a dedicated GPU stackabe module, and then an 1 Hard Drive / Flash Storage module all connected by PCIe or whatever. The Mac mini already has the potential and is a very strong starting point. It just needs to have the capability to expand.

 

[nutmac]

I'll bite on the Mac mini if they stop with the soldered-on storage.

I'd really like to see a Mac mini with accessible (and user-upgradable) internal storage & RAM. The RAM on the current one can be done but it's not as simple as spinning off the bottom anymore.

I think RAM should continue to be user upgradable, although as you pointed out, Apple should make it easier to upgrade.

But due to T2-enforced security, internal storage is next to impossible to upgrade. I would just supplement internal storage with external SSD.
