Cupertino tech giant Apple was expected to launch the new iMac 2017 at their recent October event, but there has been no word about the upcoming Apple desktop since it was not mentioned at the event. Recent speculations suggest that Apple may have delayed the release of their upcoming desktop due to added features such as VR support.
iMac users and Apple fans have been anticipating the launch of the iMac 2017, but unfortunately, eager technophiles might just have to wait until the first quarter of 2017 to get more information on what the iMac 2017 has to offer.
According to recent speculations, Apple will be delaying the release of the iMac 2017 because of the company's plan to integrate Virtual Reality support with the iMac 2017. Since today's competitive market boasts several VR features, Apple might have made the decision to create a desktop that could put up a fight with competing brands.
The iMac 2017 is expected to sport either a Polaris 10 or Polaris 11 chipset, which has lead to speculations that the new Apple desktop might become a powerful VR ready PC.
What's more is that the new Apple desktop is said to come out powered by Intel's latest Kaby Lake processor. If rumors are true and the iMac 2017 will possess these powerful specs, then the Apple desktop might just become an ultimate gaming tool with its Intel Kaby Lake and Polaris chipset combo.
Other rumored specs of the iMac 2017 include a set of USB Type-C ports supported by Thunderbolt 3, as well as speedy fusion drives.
As of now, there is still no official report from Apple as to when the iMac 2017 will be launched or released, and as to what the specific set of features the iMac 2017 will possess. Fans will just have to wait until the first quarter of 2017 to find out.
