The signs point to change. Not only in American policy, even for Apple. After the U.S. company for the other major product announcements utilized Macworld trade show in January with no real highlights was passing, is now the time has come to the rumors. When will the real innovations? What Apple will surprise this time? Questions to which bloggers and analysts have long answers to have found mine.
Currently high on the menus of chefs Rumors: A new iMac. This is close, finally, Apple is currently offered model since the end of April 2008 in the program. So it would be the time to replace him to stores.
That actually might be so, suggests the rumors page
Apple Insider ". You will have learned that Apple dealers have been informed that orders for the current iMac model with high-end 24-inch display and 3.06-GHz processor would no longer be met. In addition, they were forewarned that in the coming weeks as the other iMac models of limited stock will be.
Everything must go
"Apple Insider" concludes that the production of Apple's top-iMacs may already be set and the other iMacs have shut down. Such behavior can only be interpreted one way, it says on the page: Apple wants to reduce its inventory to make room for new models to create. Sounds logical.
From then on, but the rumors will become a thin soup soup. Because of how the predicted new iMacs look like, what they differ from current models differ, there are only meager projections. With the analyst Shaw Wu leans far out the window, believed to know, Apple is actually ready for the production of new devices incorporated. Only a small, yet to solve technical problems and business reasons were still at Apple, said Wu. It seems mainly to be good stock trading.
Artificial gap
WUs sources indicate that Apple will be the new iMacs with both dual-core as well as quad-core processors from Intel equip. It is cheaper in the iMacs, the dual-core chips are used, while the quad-core CPUs the upper left. In this way, Apple, better than with simple processors clocked differently, a beautiful performance gap within the range produce.
Blu-ray drives or flash disks, which many Apple users are eagerly anticipated, is so far not been mentioned. Likewise, it is unclear whether the monitors of the future iMacs with LED technology, as the 24-inch Cinema Display. Considered safe only that they have a mini-display port connector, on the one Apple's LED display can anstöpseln.
Preparing for "Snow Leopard"
On the design of the All-in-one machine will hardly change, said Wu. Only the cooling had to be revised to reduce waste heat from the quad-core chips from the housing to guide them. That should certainly only be necessary if Apple is for standard processors decide. Indeed, besides the normal quad-core CPUs, up to 95 watts of power to include, Intel has recently also variants with the symbol "S" in the name of the product on offer, which is nearly the same power with 65 watts satisfied.
Above all, however, could be quad-core chips later this year become an important marketing argument to be Apple. After sometime, probably in the summer, the operating system upgrade Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" will be published. Among its major innovations, a strong support for improved multi-core processors include, by including third-party programs can benefit. As soon as "Snow Leopard" will be released, so that Apple could advertise the post-burner for his computer to ignite. And if the iMac a good performance boost a share, would give them an alter spring upon.
Until then, however, are likely at least a few weeks.
A video update for the iPhone
Not much different from what the iPhone, which also appear to be an update to the house stands. That would be loud "
Informationweek "especially in the situation, not only photos but also video recorded. It was clear from the
iPhone patent indicates that the manufacturer only a few days ago was awarded. It was explicit video of the speech.
If Apple is now but the trouble is, a function to integrate video, why not ask the same right, namely, including video chat. With features such as this could be Apple back a bit of competitors to sell, which in recent times with models such as the
HTC Touch HD, the
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic or the
T-Mobile G1 clearly caught up and development of Apple's advantage has reduced.
An iPhone, a video conference with multiple parties can produce, the iPhone could fanaticism on the other hand, new fuel supply, believes "Informationweek" - and the gap between iPhone and non-iPhones widen again.
A nice idea is that already. It remains to be seen whether Apple's engineers also have had.
