The upcoming iMac 2017 will be having tons of improvement in terms of design and hardware. Some reports suggest that Apple will provide some of the best and new technology to its latest creation and a notably high price at launch is expected.
The improvements included are the 8K retina display and the latest chip offered by Intel. The iMac 2017 could possibly double in cost because the current 5K monitor Apple is already expensive enough, what more goes with the 8K display and a hardware upgrade, according to Financial Review. However, Apple does not mind putting in a little extra cost for the upcoming iMac 2017 as it already did with the MacBook Pro.
Intel will be continuing to supply for Apple on the silicon chip of the gadgets that the company has lined up for release. Though the two companies' team up has been recognized in the business world, the former might be open to entertain other options like AMD or ARM. Motley Fool of Intel has addressed the issue by saying that the multinational corporation has already prepared some good offers for Apple to lengthen their partnership, reported by Apple Insider.
The iMac 2017 GPU is reported to have AMD Polaris-based graphics card, the latest rebranded RX 500. An additional feature to the desktop will be the OLED Touch bar. A report by Mobipicker stated that the standard model will still use the 5K screen and the 8K retina display will be considered as an add-on. With the high-end features the iMac 2017 possesses, the desktop is expected to support a virtual reality experience.
Apple would possibly unveil the iMac 2017 to the public in the third quarter of this year. The upcoming Apple WWDC 2017 (Worldwide Developers Conference) is expected to unveil some iOS and hardware updates. Some reports suggest that the desktop can be possibly revealed on the event.
