Apple iMac Pro will make justice to its name
Apple will be unveiling the new device with “Pro” naming to differentiate the upcoming iMac from the 24-inch iMac that was released earlier this year. The wearable will come with an Apple M1 Pro and M1 Max chipset. Apple is confident of this computers’ Pro status, so it is calling it iMac Pro internally. The leaker claims that the laptop will flaunt a 27-inch mini-LED display with ProMotion technology. As per rumors, it will come with the next-generation iMac with a larger display. Unlike the 24-inch iMac, the “iMac Pro” will feature dark bezels, and bezel size could be slimmed down.
In terms of design, the wearable will be similar to the 24-inch iMac and the Pro Display XDR. The wearable has tested Face ID for the machine, however, this isn’t confirmed. Earlier today, an Apple executive has said that Face ID isn’t practical for devices like the MacBooks. So we digest this rumor with a pinch of salt.
The base model iMac will feature 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of SSD storage. All the models will come with an HDMI port, an SD card slot, and several USB-C / Thunderbolt ports, similar to the MacBook Pro. Apple may also include an Ethernet port on the power adapter.
