Apple will refresh its iMac lineup with faster processors and improved displays this quarter, according to a new report from reliable KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The new models are expected to bring great color saturation using an LED phosphor material called “KSF.”
“We believe Apple will introduce new iMac models in 3Q15, which are expected to have key selling points such as more powerful processors and much better display quality,” Kuo wrote in a note to investors.
“We predict the panel will use a LED phosphor material called KSF to notably boost color saturation.”
Apple hasn’t refreshed its iMac lineup since September 2013, though we have seen several 27-inch Retina iMac refreshes since last October. Recent rumors have claimed Apple is waiting to adopt Intel’s latest Skylake processors, which bring better performance, greater graphics, and improved efficiency.
It’s not clear if Apple will finally make the 21.5-inch iMac available in a Retina option this quarter, too, but Kuo anticipates that the new models — along with Apple’s ongoing Back to School promotion — will lead to increased Mac sales this quarter.
