Previously Reliable Leaker CoinX Suggests New iMac and Mac Mini Models Are Coming Soon

[MacRumors]

New models of the iMac and Mac mini could be on the horizon, according to previously-reliable leaker CoinX. The cryptic tweet simply mentions the iMac and Mac mini next to a "soon" arrow emoji, with no further details shared.

Apple last refreshed its regular iMac lineup in March 2019 with up to 8-core 9th-gen Intel Core processors and Radeon Pro Vega graphics options, while the Mac mini was last updated in October 2018 with up to 6-core 8th-gen Intel Core processors, USB-C ports, and a new Space Gray color option.

iMac and Mac mini rumors have been slim, but analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently said a new iMac Pro will launch in the fourth quarter of 2020 with a Mini-LED backlit display. Apple has not updated the iMac Pro since it was first released in December 2017, a span of over 800 days, as noted in the MacRumors Buyer's Guide.

March is a common month for Apple product refreshes. The updated iMac and Mac mini models could be announced in a press release at any time.

CoinX has an accurate track record, having previously leaked the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR names before anyone else, the "Pro" branding for iPhone 11 models, the 10.2-inch iPad and 10.5-inch iPad Air, and many other minor details about unreleased Apple products. It is unclear who runs the Twitter account.

I have the right to delete.

 

[chrisdazzo]

Please, new iMacs. I don't think I can wait any longer.

 

[Marlon DLTH :)]

We need a redesign for the iMac

 

[maflynn]

Hopefully a new design for the iMac and please, please no more 5400 rpm drives being offered

 

[bsbeamer]

Not shocking at all. More curious about the high end BTO options and CPU options on both. High clock speed Core i9 Mini would basically close the missing gap to the Mac Pro.

 

[JayMysterio]

Is there anything in the product line that isn’t being suspected of being updated this year, at this point anymore? 🤨

 

[sfwalter]

Aren't we like two years too early for a Mac Mini refresh?

 

[Freida]

the question is what they put inside apart from better GPU. And yeah, please do iMac refresh and ideally redesign. Its so long over due

 

[George Zip]

I'll bite on the Mac mini if they stop with the soldered-on storage.

I'd really like to see a Mac mini with accessible (and user-upgradable) internal storage & RAM. The RAM on the current one can be done but it's not as simple as spinning off the bottom anymore.

I'd also like a unicorn, as long as I'm wishing for things that I won't ever see.

 

[uneeko1ne]

hopefully a new design imac, maybe bigger screen? or full screen Imac like the Iphones have become would be awesome

 

[George Zip]

Aren't we like two years too early for a Mac Mini refresh?

We're at what is essentially the average, according the MacRumors Buyer's Guide, but, yeah, I was going to say we are about 1000 days too early. I figured they'd roll with this one until 2022 at least.

 

[satchmo]

While the iMac is overdue for a new design, the Mac mini simply needs an upgraded GPU.

 

[russell_314]

Hopefully a new design for the iMac and please, please no more 5400 rpm drives being offered

I know it's almost like you don't have a choice to select SSD 😂😂😂

 

[lunarworks]

please, please no more 5400 rpm drives being offered

That's my only complaint with my 2019 iMac. The Fusion SSD is much too small, and the paired HDD is much too slow.

 

[arvinsim]

I hope that they redesign the Mac Mini to be thicker if they are going with the i9.

A 6 core i7 is already throttling in its current form.

 

[brdeveloper]

Hopefully a new design for the iMac and please, please no more 5400 rpm drives being offered

You forgot to add the statement "and without price increase".

 

[DVNIEL]

Please bring back the desk lamp form factor. Easy swiveling is a must in my office and they could make the 2020 version even better.

 

[madmin]

An AMD powered Macmini ? Oh, yes please...

 

[Slippery Gimp]

Time for a ‘New Mac Mini is definitely coming’ thread I think.

*goes to forums*

 

[PickUrPoison]

Assuming Comet Lake for iMac, the CPUs are expected as soon as this month. The CPUs for the iMac Pro were announced already, maybe they’re already shipping.

Anyway, I’d guess WWDC but the rumored March event would be nice. The real question is whether it’ll be a redesign or not.

 

[JeffPerrin]

Mini needs better GPU. Many 2018 mini reviews all noted 4K video editing was sub-optimal thanks to the wimpy integrated Intel GPU.

 

[smulji]

That's my only complaint with my 2019 iMac. The Fusion SSD is much too small, and the paired HDD is much too slow.

It's time for all of Apple's devices to standardize on SSD storage. No more spinning HDD or Fusion Drives.

 

[fokmik]

Lets hope the imac will get an inside out redesign, for better thermals and no more fusion drives with those 5400rpm, go all in SSD
For the entry level Apple can go with previous gen ssd just to keep the entry price low, but god...even an 5 year old ssd is far better than fusion drive
So no fusion drive ...we are in 2020

"The real question is whether it’ll be a redesign or not."

Doubt it.
