It’s Jon Prosser, he’s wrong almost all of the time and the times he’s right is usually when it’s common knowledge and leaked from multiple sources.

Are you just calling him "hit and miss" because the posters here don't like him? Pretty sure he has roughly the same accuracy % as Kuo, Gurman, etc.
As it's Steve Jobs's birthday today, I'd wondered whether we might get an official iMac announcement - given it's probably the most direct 'descendant' of the original Apple computer. But this is a nice rumour.
this was a doodle I made up a while ago for a "smaller" "mac pro" - to put all the processing, memory and basic io into an MPX module format, in an enclosure that has 3 MPX bays, 1 for the "computer", & 2 more mpx slots (which have a single slot each, rather than the 2 vertically stacked slots (one mpx, one pci) behind each MPX bay as in the current mac pro).
Agreed. But on paper, I’m sure the board disagrees. Vanity is powerful! 👀
Nice idea. I think Apple will sell a ton of these.
Please let this be true! I love the idea; as I had an indigo iMac back in the day (actually still have it). I'm a sucker for nostalgia.
I always thought a dark red aluminium MacBook Pro would be awesome, but the color would have to be all the way thru the metal to prevent scratches from making it look bad.
Modular (replaceable) graphics card in the ”mini” Mac Pro, pretty please… 🥺
And not as costly as the current Mac Pro?
I like the colors of the iMacs – I can see how they would fit in certain contexts.

It’d be great if the March event had a “one more thing” preview of the Macs which will then be released and the detail discussed at WWDC. That way, appetites are whetted but no real detail is given away prior to release.
that said, I’m close to replacing my 2013 iMac with M1 Mac Mini & monitor, so I’m not really in the market for an iMac. The mini Mac Pro could be a future option though....
I would prefer the bolder colours of the original iMac, as pictured.
A square trashcan would suit me. Just give it a bay to add more storage, and another one for upgradable apple graphics cards. ie. it would come with standard fixed storage and GPU, but you could add to it. Put a handle on it like the trashcan.
If you must have colors on an imac, just make it a simple stripe or band, say 5mm all around. Maybe different color for different specs.

Colorful iMacs? A Mac cube? What year is this?
Why not make the Mac Pro literally a stack of modules, connected by Thunderbolt? CPU unit, storage unit, GPU unit. Stack as many of each kind as you need.
I am going with Silver or Space Gray just to be on the safe side. You want this thing to hold some resale value after all. Those weird colors on a computer won’t get you much.
I don't think I'm in the market for an iMac now that the 16" MBP is looking to get AS. I was going to go with an AS iMac/MBA combo, but I think I'll sink my funds into one device.
But it does make me happy to see some Mac rumours - can't wait to see some fresh exterior designs!

The MacPro design suggestion is... laughable. It's had a fairly recent design revision, where modularity/expansion is key for Pro customers who rely on those expansion card integrations.
If I were the Macrumors editors, I'd give Posser 3 more failed rumor calls before they stop publishing his claims. At some point, he's just trying to get YouTube views and we should all stop giving him attention.
