Yesterday, when one of our best sources told us to expect new iMac today, we were very skeptical. Indeed, launching new series of hardware models in July might not be the best timing, especially when most north hemisphere inhabitants are having some vacations or holidays, usually not known as a heavy purchasing period for computers. But, another reliable source, John Gruber, announced that he is also expecting new models to be unveiled today. In addition to the iMac, it could also include the new Mac Pro, as well as a new Apple Display 27”, and the long rumored external trackpad for desktop computers.
So, it would not be a small refresh of a class of computers, but rather a massive update of the hardware models available on the Apple Store. Apple might have decided to speed up release of new models to take control of its communication and try to make the antenna gate history as quickly as possible.
