unfortunately we have some bad news
about the upcoming apple silicon 27-inch imacs and because of these three new
pieces of information that just came out today some of you guys are going to stop
waiting for this imac and you'll end up buying something else like a macbook
instead and with that info there are two key things that you have to keep in mind
as far as pricing and release dates so let's jump into it it has been over a
month since vadim did his last video on these new imacs where he dived super
deep into all the technicalities it's a video that is so detailed that nobody
else can even match so you guys should still go and check out that video but
today we have new info that changes up a few things the first one is that we
officially have news that production has started on these new imacs and as we
expected them to be coming out in the springtime possibly march that looks
like it's all lined up because these are already being made now that is just the
first piece of information that is the positive one
where it gets worse is that we have news of multiple
colors of these imacs coming out now why is that bad news colors are good right
well when we look at the other imac the 24 inch that also had leaks of multiple
colors you guys saw that not only do we have a bunch of colors to choose from
but that also meant that it had white bezels paired to all of those colors and
a lot of people absolutely hated that because it no longer looks like a clean
sleek mac you have this white bezel all around instead of a black one people say
it is distracting especially if you like working in darker environments it just
doesn't look like your clean professional imac and this is what so
many people were waiting on the 27 inch larger model for a nice clean imac with
the performance of apple silicon that looks great standing on your desk not
like a consumer product that's meant just to look nice in your kitchen or
somewhere else and because of this that also means that this computer the entry
level models are going to be focused on those regular consumers meaning that the
chip that comes with it is probably gonna be lower power than we thought
before the ports might be limited uh and other things which leads us to the
second piece of news that came out today and that is the fact that this machine
is not going to ship with a mini led display that has support for pro motion
so not the pro display that we expected that also comes with these 14 and 16
inch macbook pros now to me when i heard the news and all the leaks coming out it
didn't make a lot of sense because these imacs that you typically start at about
1800 bucks and go up and how in the world would apple give it such a great
display for that price point along with the other news that came out and that is
that there are three new displays standalone displays that apple is going
to be offering which mark german and felipe talked about earlier this year
and dylan dkt has actually seen shells of them that are unbranded so this is a
24 inch display a 27 inch display and a 32 inch display now people have wanted a
consumer display from apple for a while now since it's been i don't know six
seven years uh since they've actually been making one and even though lg
partnered with them in 2016 the ultrafine 5k which i've owned for years
i still have it it is not at the same level and if that one sold for 1300
bucks we know that apple will not sell their version which is also supposed to
have promotion and mini led for 300 bucks it's probably going to be 1500
maybe 1800 and then the pro display xdr which will
be updated to better mini led and promotion as well for 5000 plus that
stand that is another thousand dollars so this makes sense apple's base imac 27
inch is gonna have an lcd display slightly updated but it will not be a
mini led now this report was from digi times which has a great track record but
the original person that talked about mini led coming out was ross young and
he's actually the only person that talked about it coming out for the
macbooks with promotion and he got that completely correct and guess what he
actually just replied and said that he still believes that they are going to be
coming with many led displays for this inch apple silicon imac so who is wrong
and who is right in this scenario well personally i think both of them i think
that unfortunately the base model is going to come with an lcd display
multiple colors and it's going to be limited at that lower price point it's
gonna be for consumers white bezels but now i do think that they are still gonna
make an imac pro version a version for those of us that want extra performance
better ports 10 gigabit ethernet that want black bezels and maybe a space gray
design just like the previous imac pro and have that killer 27 inch mini led
display with promotion built in if you guys know apple the lg ultra and 5k that
the same panel as the imac so if they're going to be making an external display
say for maybe 1800 or even up to 2 grand with that display standalone it just
makes sense to offer it in an imac as well it's just going to be thicker with
the all-in-one built-in design but what that tells us now is that
this machine is gonna be a lot more expensive and if you're waiting for one
with black bezels without the multiple colors with this display you're gonna
have to spend a lot more money than you thought you would have to
previously now it absolutely makes sense for them to make one that is like this
because if we look at the previous release of the m1 macbook air and
macbook pro that was way more powerful than the intel version and the same
thing with the 14 and the 16-inch macbooks they just destroyed the intel
versions so how in the world is apple supposed to make just this entry-level
colorful one that has an m1 pro possibly m1 max built into it because as you guys
know from our previous video the m1 max chip the cpu actually gets
beat out by the 2020 intel imac and the graphics card that's in the imac isn't
that much slower than the very best m1 max along with that it is limited to 64
gigs whereas the imac you could support up to 128 gigs and the graphics card had
16 gigs of its own memory so it doesn't make sense for apple to just make this
entry level model and then have a machine that's apple silicon that's a
huge release for them the first redesign being slower and less capable in many
ways than the intel version and that's where we get into the 20 core chips that
minchi quo leaked earlier in the year and vadim talked about in great detail
and we also have info about code in mac os having multiple um basically support
that's unused for a do a duo chip two emerald axes together we have the
hardware strip that can connect them that we just found from a photo that was
released of the actual chip not what apple showed up on stage all of these
leaks and all of the software and hardware adds up to these high-end m1
duo chip that will actually give us the same jump of performance compared to the
2020 intel imac as we got with m1 macbook air and pro and also the m1 pro
and max ships with these new macbooks so all of that does make sense the main
question is will this imac pro higher end version be coming out at the same
time as the lower end colorful ones that are going to be probably limited in
ports and have the white bezels with the lcd display or are they going to be
pushing that back to maybe summertime or even the fall time just basically
sitting there and waiting or having to say hey that's going to be at least 3
000 if that mini led version is going to
have an m1 pro allowed or up to four or even 5000 like the original imac pro if
they force you to get an m1 duo chip with a high amount of ram and storage
space in order to get the sleek look with the black bezels
and that mini led screen built in so you guys let me know your thoughts down in
the comment section below is this going to change your mind on waiting for the
system if the lower end more affordable ones maybe up to 3 000 or even more come
with an lcd display and white bezels with multiple colors
you guys let me know your thoughts i want to hear about them definitely go
