14 DAY TRIAL // A reliable tipster is telling Howtoarena.com that Apple is planning an iMac refresh in the coming months. The desktop computers will boast Intel’s 22nm-based Core i5 and Core i7 Ivy Bridge processors, and they’re expected to drop in the June-July time frame.
This allegedly reliable source in the Chinese supply chain is also telling the blog that “the company [Apple] is currently ramping up production of thinner 15 inch version of MacBook Pros with same processors which are reportedly coming later this month.”
The iMac refresh is regarded as highly plausible, mainly because Apple announced an identical refresh around this time last year (Sandy Bridge & Thunderbolt). The new iMacs aren’t expected to feature any aesthetic changes. However, the MacBook Pros are said to be thinner, and more attractive-looking.
