9to5mac continues to release leaked information and this time focused on October/October 2014. A month after Apple presents iPhone 6 and will issue iOS 8, the company is waiting for another important month, during which it will introduce new Macs, new iPads and release OS X Yosemite with a completely new design. But this month will not only be about the usual hardware updates and the release of a new version of OS X. The company is supposed to be working on completely new hardware that will be designed to take full advantage of the new OS.
More precisely, it should be a new one MacBook s Retina display, which sources said will offer a 12-inch display and be much thinner and slightly lighter than MacBook Air. The word is deliberately not mentioned in its name Air, since Apple has not yet decided whether it will be a line product MacBook Pro, MacBook Air or will it be a completely new one MacBook. The body of the product will continue to be aluminum unibody, just like the other two models.
Another product that is definitely worth mentioning is a new desktop computer with a 4K display. But it is not yet known whether it will be a new type of iMac or a separate device, or a Thunderbolt display, which has been speculated about since last year. However, it cannot be a direct successor to the 27-inch iMac or a successor to the current Thunderbolt display, since the technology that will enable Applu double the resolution as it is on other devices, it is not yet ready for the market. Both devices have a resolution of 2560 × 1440 points.
The high density and fineness of the pixels is designed directly for OS X Yosemite, which brings new graphics and graphics elements that are optimized primarily for high-resolution screens to provide users with a perfect experience. He has too Apple working on updates for iMovie and Final Cut Pro, which will bring more support for 4K cameras. The computers should have Intel Broadwell processors, but since Intel still has problems with the production of new chips, it is also possible that Apple will not be able to ship the required number of computers by 2015 with the computers pre-installed with OS X Yosemite.
The system itself should wait for the last Developer Preview September 29th, with only the Golden Master release on October 10th and the release of the final version to the public following it. This will happen at the end of the month and, according to sources, the system will again be available for free. However, the surprise is that Apple finally, he plans to organize just one conference in October, at which he will focus not only on OS X, but also present the fitness accessory iWatch, which has been speculated for some time already.
Wow, that rendering.
That render is disgusting, this year there might be a revolution in MacBookI think the 4K iMac will arrive sometime in the next 3 generations (i.e. within 3 years). The technology is new and mostly expensive, it would be great on an iMac, but the price would increase and it would be better to buy a Mac ProNew Thunderbolt displays will come first, followed by iMac a year later Retina :)
4K technology is not expensive, its price is artificially kept high.
If I build a matrix of 2×2 22″ FullHD TVs for 150 EUR, I have the same as a 44″ 4K TV. Just significantly cheaper.
Or if I build a matrix of 2×2 5″ FullHD mobile phones, I also have 4K. At the same time, the display in the mobile costs (without the touch layer) well below 100 EUR.
Proyou just need to make a larger classic FULLHD panel and install faster electronics that can also handle data streams. That's all. No science.
Peter.nr: that reasoning is logical, but not completely realistic, because with such a high density, there is also a far greater waste rate, i.e. defective pixels, during production. Which is not a problem when cutting to smaller displays, but the larger the area is produced, the more scraps are produced, so they are more expensive.
