Prosser: 2021 iMac will come in five colors, Apple Silicon Mac Pro to look like ‘stacked’ Mac Minis

The fugitive Jon Prosser claimed today that the next 2021 iMac models will offer five color options, mirroring the colors of the fourth generation iPad Air, and revealed a number of additional details about the Mac Pro with Apple Silicon.

In a new video on the FrontPageTech YouTube channel, Prosser explained that the redesigned iMacs will come with options for Silver, Space Gray, Green, Sky Blue and Rose Gold.

He shared renderings of what these new color options might look like on a redesigned MiMac‌, but noted that he hasn’t seen the back of the new design yet, so his renderings are purely speculative beyond color.

Prosser explained that the range of color options aims to capitalize on the nostalgia of the original ‌iMac‌, which came in a selection of iconic colors like lemon, strawberry, blueberry, grape and tangerine.

The redesigned iMacs with thinner bezels and ‌Apple Silicon‌ chips have been expected for some time, but it is unclear exactly when they should be launched this year or whether the two model sizes will come out at the same time.

Prosser also described a number of additional details about the upcoming ‌Mac Pro‌ with ‌Apple Silicon‌, supporting earlier rumors of Bloombergis Mark Gurman. Gurman said the new “Mac Pro” will be less than half the size of the current “Mac Pro”, placing it somewhere between the existing “Mac Pro” and the Mac mini. The machine is speculated to feature a mostly aluminum exterior and can “invoke nostalgia” for the Power Mac G4 Cube.

Prosser now said that the new “Mac Pro” will feature a design that looks like “three to four Mac minis stacked on top of each other”, and will provide renderings of the supposed new look.

Internally, Prosser says the “Mac Pro” will be designed with the “computing unit at the bottom” and a “large heat sink at the top”.

At the end of last year, Bloomberg reported that Apple plans to launch the new and smaller “Mac Pro” with “Apple Silicon” by the end of 2022, but it could arrive this year.
