We have long been fans of Apple’s fantastic Retina Displays. The 15” MacBook Pro Retina Display model is one of our best sellers due to its impressive display. However, like many Apple fans, we have been continually wondering when Apple will provide a Retina Screen for the iMac.
Well, it seems as if the wait could be over if the latest rumours are to be believed. Speculation is that Apple is working on a 27” 5k Retina iMac with a resolution of 5120 x 2880. More significantly is that the rumours are that Apple is preparing to launch the new model at this month’s media event which will see the latest iPads released.
The new 5k display will have double the resolution of the existing 27” model which is 2560 x 1440 and will be limited to the 27” model. The 21.5” will continue to use its current 1920 x 1080 display.
If the new 27” iMac is to be released this October it will still have to use Intel’s haswell processors as the Broadwell processors will not be ready until the middle of next year. We would also anticipate that the design will remain untouched although reports do suggest a move away from NVIDIA graphics to AMD.
