New photos circulating on the web points to a new iMac with a thinner design. These photos were first published by a Chinese site – WeiPhone.com before being picked up by MacRumors. Looking at the photos its hard to tell whether there are the real thing or not. The photos depict a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antennas, fans, and a hard drive.
According to the MacRumor report:
The authenticity of the photo can not be confirmed, but iFixit‘s Kyle Wiens tells us that it does appear to be plausible based on some similarities to current iMac components. One example is the silver disc located behind the main layer of components. This disc has been found in Apple’s iMac models over the past several years, and it houses the Wi-Fi antenna directly behind the Apple logo on the rear of the iMac’s body. The Apple logo is the only plastic portion of the iMac’s otherwise aluminum rear shell, thus providing the best location for optimizing signal reception.
The new iMac is set to sport a thinner form factor and curved rear shell tapering into a water droplet shape.
Apple is also apparently working on releasing a 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro. According to the report, “the notebook is said to already be in assembly in “Mexico and other places”, with Chinese production coming later this month. The new 13-inch model is said to carry a code name of “D1”, which fits with the “D2” code name that turned out to be the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro. ”
