New imac. Three new Macs will be released this year. When will the new iMacs be introduced?
Will we see a new one iMac in 2019?
The new iMac is bound to make its debut, and it's no surprise that we'd like to see it in 2019. Because shortly after the release of the 2017 iMac, which ran on Intel's 7th generation Kaby Lake processors, the chipmaker released 8th generation processors - followed by Coffee processors Lake Refresh 9th generation in 2018. As a result, the processors and therefore the performance of the current generation iMac are already two generations behind when we talk about the processor, it is the iMac 2019 that could change things.

IMAC 2019: WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? While we don't know too much about what the 2019 iMac will be like, we have a lot of ideas about how to make the next one Apple version PC multifunctional device
. Check out our suggestions that will make the 2018 iMac the best iMac on the market.
UPDATED DESIGN And so far we like it appearance
The iMac's design hasn't changed for the past 12 years, so 2019 could be a good time for a redesign. This could mean minor changes, such as overall slimming of the structure, or it could mean something more drastic.
Rumors about an iMac redesign have been swirling since a Reddit post by a "Foxconn Insider" who worked for the company. He said that there will be an update to the iMac and its peripherals. The iMac's aluminum design has been a staple since 2007, so we wouldn't mind seeing another color option with the 2019 iMac - perhaps a Space Gray version like the i?
Mac Pro
INSPIRED BY IMAC PRO
The iMac Pro is a fantastic device, and while it's definitely a product aimed at a completely different audience than the 2019 iMac, there are a few things the standard iMac could take away from its more expensive sibling. For example, get rid of hard drive and switch to solid-state drives, which would allow Apple to make the 2018 iMac thinner and also add speed to the machine. Even better for photographers and video editors, offer Apple support
UHS-II SD cards, thereby simplifying the work process.
However, if Apple's new 2019 iMac comes with T2 chips, which are used to provide high-level security and AI commands like "Hey Siri", users will have to come to terms with the fact that Apple will limit warranty repair third party. Make sure you buy AppleCare, that's all.
Oh, and did we mention we'd love to see a Space Gray iMac?
INSPIRED BY MACBOOK AND IPHONE
And while we're talking about ideas from others Apple devices There are a few things we'd like to borrow from the iPhone and MacBook for the 2018 iMac.
For example, how great it would be if Apple moved touchpad from some MacBooks to a redesigned iMac keyboard? These touch buttons would be a fantastic addition.
Additionally, we were quite impressed with the Face ID technology on the iPhone X, so if Apple is thinking about upgrading the FaceTime camera on the 2018 iMac, we'd like to see facial recognition, allowing the new iMac to be unlocked with just a glance.
IMPROVING PERFORMANCE
Despite the fact that we know practically nothing about hardware included in the 2019 iMac, we'd like to have the latest and greatest components when the all-in-one PC goes on sale.
Now what we really want to see is implementation Apple latest processors Coffee Lake Refresh the 9th generation in Aimaq 2019 so Apple fans can get access to 8-core behemoths. But even if Apple goes the conservative route and uses 8th-generation Coffee Lake processors, the 2019 iMac will still get a significant performance boost over the previous model.
We're also pretty sure that Apple will use one of its T2 coprocessors in the new iMacs (2019), likely to handle "Hey Siri" commands like other Apple devices.
Also, according to the first reports, Apple is working on creating its own processors as part of the Kalamata Initiative program, which is actively discussed on the Internet. This will lead to the Cupertino tech giant replacing all Intel processors with its own by 2020. It's certainly an ordeal, but Apple appears to be working pretty well on its own chips in a super-secret lab.
Let's cross our fingers that some - or all - of the predictions will come true before the end of this year.
Here's what 2019 has to offer so far.
During the opening of the WWDC developer conference, Apple introduced new all-in-one iMac series. The main innovation in these improved models is the use of seventh generation Intel Kaby Lake processors, as well as, according to Cupertino, the most advanced displays ever released for a Mac. In particular, the brightness of the panels was increased by 43% to 500 cd/m2.
The 21.5-inch model can now be equipped with 32 GB of RAM, and the 27-inch model with 64 GB, which is double more possibilities previous generation. All-in-one PCs also received two Thunderbolt 3 ports compatible with USB-C - these are the first Apple desktop systems equipped with connectors of the new standard.
The graphics have also been improved. Thus, the simplest 21.5-inch model received an integrated Intel Iris Plus 640 accelerator along with the new CPU. 21.5-inch computers with 4K display resolution include video cards AMD Radeon Pro 555 or 560. Finally, the 27-inch all-in-one PC with a 5K display can be equipped with Radeon Pro 570, 575 and 580 accelerators with up to 8 GB of video memory. These new accelerators, along with software innovations in the macOS High Sierra platform, give the new iMacs support virtual reality.
As you can see, the iMac hasn't changed much in appearance, but the company has significantly improved its offerings in terms of technical characteristics and features compared to offerings almost two years ago (previous iMacs were introduced to the world in October 2015). In the US, 21.5-inch iMacs start at $1,100, and 21.5-inch models with 4K screens start at $1,300. Pre-orders are already being accepted.
In addition to the usual iMac update, the Cupertino company also introduced much more interesting model iMac Pro, which is aimed at professionals and will be released in December. This all-in-one with a 27-inch 5K screen (can display up to a billion colors) will be released in December, will receive Intel processor Xeon with up to 18 cores and graphics with peak performance of up to 22 teraflops (when processing numbers with half precision; in normal single-precision mode - 11 teraflops).
Essentially we are talking about workstation V compact body with space gray finish. Interestingly, due to flash drives and new system thermoregulation thin one-piece iMac case Pro cools 80% more efficiently than before. iMac Pro is designed for complex graphics editing, virtual reality content creation, and real-time 3D rendering. The launch was probably delayed in order to equip the device not only with 18-core processors, but also with an AMD Radeon Pro accelerator with a new generation Vega graphics architecture and 16 GB of built-in high-speed HBM2 memory.
Another important feature of the iMac Pro is support for SSD drives with a capacity of up to 4 TB and up to 128 GB of ECC RAM. There are four Thunderbolt 3 ports, to which you can connect, for example, two high-performance RAID arrays and two 5K monitors at the same time. The new iMac Pro is also a first for Apple computers will receive a 10 Gbit Ethernet network port. Unfortunately, all this splendor doesn’t come cheap—the starting price is an impressive $5,000.
If the iMac turns out to be not enough, Apple specialists are finally preparing a completely new, full-fledged desktop Mac Pro of the next generation. Little is known about this product yet, except for the promise modular design, highest performance and new professional monitor highest resolution.
Question: Q:
Question: Q: Have replaced 2009 iMAC with 2018 iMAC, Problems Erasing Old HD
Have a new iMAC and now retiring the old one which is still OK and want to pass it over to a relative. I already have the new iMac setup used a Time Machine Backup which helped to get rid of some older unused SW.
My old IiMAC information
OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.5, IMAC (27”, Late 2009, Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory 4 GB 1333 MGz DDR3: Capacity 999.21 GB, Used 67.64 GB, Available 931.57 GB
My issue relates to erasing or reformatting the HD on the old iMAC did some reading up from the blog sites and watched several videos on YouTube I am either technically challenged or overlooking the obvious it does not seem to be working!
1) backed up my system and I still have the old Time Machine back ups which I used to update the new Mac as well as earlier backups.
2) I have signed out of everything i.e. de-authorized I-tunes, I-Cloud was not activated nor Bluetooth already for next step
3) Restart followed steps i.e. Hold down Command and R and kept hold down keys but nothing happens Mac finishes loading etc. Tried several variants for this step as examples in several cases were different i.e. release when the Apple Icon appears, release when the wagon wheel stops machine just carries on too boot up completely.
That is where I am stalled
Q When I open the Disk Utility after restart i.e. from the utilities folder or the Taskbar is the appearance any different than it would be going through the Command + R process?
An example of the Disk Utility window: select ERASE, Select Mackintosh HD, format is grayed out and cannot be changed the examples indicate the same format, cannot change the name either. The majority of the examples indicate I should then hit the erase button? Where is it I have already selected on the top line there is an ‘erase Free Space button surely that is not correct? My objective is to start fresh just Erase & Reinstall OS X.
I did have a picture but cannot display it
Mentioned currently OS X Yosemite this is not the original OS, I have upgraded several times I still have original install DVD OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite I recall skipping Mountain Lion upgrade.
Hoping for some words of wisdom

You need to follow this guide:
How To Do A Factory Reset
Selection A should be used on computers that came with Lion or later when factory new. These models had no disks included when new. Selection B is for Macs that came originally with Snow Leopard or earlier. These models shipped with Software Restore disks when new.
B. Factory Reset Your Pre-Lion Mac
Follow these instructions until you get to Step 5: Factory reset of your Mac - Apple Support . At Step 5 you will need a Snow Leopard DVD or the installer disc that came with the computer.
- Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the " C" key. Release the key when you see a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
- After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities" menu. After Disk Utility loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (out-dented entry - mfgr."s ID and drive size.) Click on the Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. Set the number of partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended (Journaled), then click on the Apply button.
- When the formatting has finished quit Disk Utility. Proceed with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
- If you are planning to sell or give your computer away, then do the following: After you reformat your hard drive and reinstall OS X, the computer restarts to a Welcome screen and asks you to choose a country or region. If you want to leave the Mac in an out-of-box state, don"t continue with the setup of the system. Instead, press Command-Q to shut down the Mac. When the new owner turns on the Mac, the Setup Assistant will guide them through the setup process.

You cannot give away or sell any software you have purchased or downloaded from the App Store because it is all tied to your Apple ID. You need to pass on a computer in its original factory state so the new owner can configure as their own.

Thanks Kappy for the add/info re Apple Store purchases makes sense and the same flow MS expect. Also peace of mind
Encountered a few false starts to Erase the HD not sure if it were HW related or not I usually use Logitech KB & M with my iMAC and have a wired Apple full-size KB (numeric pad) which I am using with my new iMAC.
Waiting for the Chime and then pressing / holding "C" did not work all it was doing was loading the Install DVD the wagon wheel was also not visible.
I borrowed the wired Apple Keyboard from the new iMAC and as soon as I selected "Restart" I held down the "C" i.e. before the chime and the process worked the wagon wheel spinning etc so all good from that perspective. Started install of OS X from the DVD and done in 35 min (Coincidence or not)
It depends on your goals and budget, roughly speaking, for some, “relevant” is the ability to edit 4K raw video and work in parallel with several heavy programs, but for others, “relevant” is when YouTube and VK do not lag. Budget and condition are also important - for about 100 thousand you can buy a completely new model in a weak configuration, or a top-end used car from previous years.
But in general, the relevance of the model is determined by Apple itself - it simply assigns “vintage” or “obsolete” status to models that were discontinued more than 5 years ago. Most often, these models, although they receive updates and the most latest versions OS (after all, it’s Apple), but they work quite poorly (especially without an upgrade). Now Macbook pro and air from early 2011 and earlier are officially considered obsolete, except for the 17-inch macbook pro, the entire line of old Macbooks (2007, 2008, 2009 unibody). But personally, I would not recommend purchasing Macs older than 2012.
Here is a small list of MacBooks for different needs (and wallets). All used MacBooks are in good condition, here are the average prices for Avito in Moscow:
1) The most budget option is used Macbook Air 11" or 13" late 2011 (early 2012, which is the same thing). The cost is about 25-30 thousand. Some of the first have an i5 processor and an SSD drive (though most often 128GB). The ideal typewriter option is good screen, the battery lasts more than 6 hours, thanks to the SSD the system and light applications will fly.
2) Macbook Pro 13" late 2011 or early 2012. The price varies greatly - from 25 to 45 thousand. This is the “typewriter+” option. To get the most out of this Mac, you need an upgrade: enlarge RAM, replace the hard drive with an SD disk, and replace the drive with a hard drive. After the upgrade, you can easily work on such a Mac in quite complex and heavy programs, such as photoshop, premiere or final cut.
3) Macbook Pro 13" late 2012. Price from 30 to 45 thousand. The same as in the previous paragraph, but due to the 1.5GB hd4000 video card, this Mac performs much better when working with video. And even on it you can play!
4) Macbook Air 11" late 2012 - early 2014. The price depends on the storage capacity: 30 - 50 thousand. The Air 11" is comparable in size to an iPad, but provides much more capabilities. A great option if you need to carry your computer with you at all times for a variety of simple tasks.
5) Macbook Air 13" late 2012 - early 2014. The price depends on the storage capacity: 35 - 60 thousand. You need to take the ones with the most powerful i5 processors (1.7 GHz and higher). An excellent option is enough powerful laptop, which you can carry with you without any problems, they last 7-8 hours in mixed use mode.
6) Macbook Pro 13" with Retina display end of 2012 - beginning of 2014. The price depends on the storage capacity: 45 - 85 thousand. These laptops can be quite successfully used as an equivalent replacement for a work PC. In my opinion, the 2013 configuration, i5 2.5GHz, 8Gb, 256Gb is optimal in terms of price-performance ratio.
7) Macbook Pro and Air 2015 or 2016, in my opinion, makes no sense, because... In terms of performance, the difference is less than 10%, and there are virtually no other differences except force touch.
8) Macbook Pro 15" with Retina display late 2012 - early 2014. I highly do not recommend it unless you need it big screen or discrete graphics. Even buying such a laptop new is risky, because... They have a widespread problem with discrete graphics - the chips burn out over time. Sellers of such poppies “warm up” the chips in a special way so that everything works for 2-3 days, set a tempting price, sell the poppy, and after a couple of days the buyer’s poppy simply does not turn on.
I hope I helped at least a little.
Apple is quite adamant about setting dates for the launch of new products. That is why new versions of the company's proprietary operating systems and new iPhone models and MacBooks come out around the same time every year. Of course, the days of the week may vary, but usually they stick to a consistent schedule, scheduling presentations for June for software updates, for September – for smartphones and for October – for laptops. However, there is Apple products, which receives upgrades outside of any schedules and schedules, namely as needed. For example, line computers Mac mini and iMac.
Apple is one of the few companies that sets trends in the world of technology. It was thanks to her that the IEEE 1394 standard, better known as FireWire, appeared and then safely disappeared, and a massive transition from serial and parallel ports to USB began. At the instigation of Apple, laptops were abandoned DVD drives, and in smartphones from a 3.5 mm jack for connecting headphones, manufacturers of peripherals and accessories switched to USB-C, and Google and Samsung desperately caught up with their payment services after the appearance of . In the world desktop computers Apple also set a high standard for all-in-one devices called the iMac.
Macs have never been a gaming computer, but have remained a work device for many years. Either Apple itself contributed to this, or everything happened on its own, but even MacBook Pro, which have never lacked in performance, have always been associated with professional tasks, far from being able to compete with gaming laptops. With the release, the situation did not change much, because most users preferred to play exclusive games on tablets or smartphones, without even trying to run them on a Mac. But in the foreseeable future, everything may change.
At the beginning of 2017, it suddenly turned out that the company’s Macs for professionals were not just doing poorly, but catastrophically. A little more, and the situation would have become irreversible. Passion for gadgets and household appliances to the detriment of everything else, it had gone too far, and something had to be done about it. Seriously, thoroughly and for a long time - but it took years. But they weren’t there. Something had to be done right now, and done well. The answer to the call was . Now that Apple has the Mac Pro, its almost namesake is under threat.
From all sides we hear that everything is ours, but we must consign it to the dustbin of history and forget about them, just as we forgot about push-button dialers in our time. Indeed solid state drives There is whole line advantages, but they are still more expensive than HDDs, and people do not always understand why they are needed. It seems like everything works that way, but if it’s a little faster, but you have to pay an additional 40,000 rubles to the cost of the iMac, which already costs a lot, the value of such a change will become even more insignificant. Today we’ll tell you what’s the best thing to do, what to choose and how not to overpay so much for.
This may be the last iMac with a familiar design. Its variants use Intel processors of the 8th and 9th generations; in top configurations it is almost as good as
