We’re sure an iMac 2019 release date will happen, we just don’t know when. Read on to find out everything you need to know about the new iMac refresh, updated with the latest news and leaks
A new iMac is bound to hit the market eventually, and we’d love to see an iMac in 2019. Because, shortly after the iMac 2017 came out, backed with 7th-generation Intel Kaby Lake processors, the chip manufacturer released its 8th-generation Coffee Lake chips – followed by the 9th-generation Coffee Lake Refresh CPUs in 2018. So, the iMac is currently two generations behind the curve when it comes to silicon, but we thin, the iMac 2019 could level the playing field.
Given the surprise announcement for the MacBook Pro 2018, we could see something similar happen with a new iMac. There has been some speculation that the iMac would release with the new Mac mini and MacBook Air, but it looks like we’ll have to keep waiting.
Instead, Apple will likely stay quiet about the iMac 2019 until it’s ready to release the all-in-one. Until we hear more about a new iMac from Apple, be sure to keep this page bookmarked, as we’ll keep it updated with all the latest information as it comes out.
The 2017 iMac was revealed back at WWDC 2017, but Apple didn’t repeat themselves last year. And, because there was no Mac hardware at the iPhone XS event, or the October 30 Mac event, we didn’t get a new iMac in 2018. But, we’re hoping to see a new iMac in 2019.
We’re still not sure whether or not we’ll see a new iMac this year, but we seriously doubt Apple will abandon the iMac. Right now, we’d put our money on a WWDC 2019 announcement: not only are there rumors of the new Mac Pro making an appearance, but there’s also rumors that Apple is going to premiere tools for converting iOS apps to Mac apps.
As for when that will be, the WWDC 2019 dates have leaked, so it’ll probably land on June 3.
Again, there’s not much to go on right now concerning what the price of a 2018 iMac might be. Hopefully, the price won’t stray too much from last year’s models, unless there is going to be some seriously large upgrades when it comes to components.
