New iMacs in January: The Rumors Continue
Posted in: Apple, Mac, rumors, Today's Chili
More details have surfaced about Apple’s new iMac rumored for release next month.
Economic Daily News, a Chinese publication that reported the iMac rumor last week, says the new all-in-one desktops will sport magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis. Further backing the rumor of new iMacs, the publication also cited the suppliers of the machine’s cooling module.
The publication says component providers Foxconn and Catcher Technology are supplying the aluminum chassis. And Foxconn is partnering with Auras Technology to provide the cooling module, the report says.
Though these details are still rumors, it’s highly likely a new iMac will be launched January. It’s been about eight months since Apple last refreshed its iMac; January’s Macworld Expo 2009 would be a prime opportunity to announce upgrades.
We’re guessing the iMacs will ship with a quad-core CPU — in anticipation of Mac OS X Snow Leopard, which Apple says will optimize multi-core systems.

Correction (2:30 PDT): Despite what’s being said in various reports, there are no indications that the cooling module will be different from the current iMac’s.
