Update Old Imac



Apple today released iOS 14.4.1, iPadOS 14.4.1, macOS 11.2.3 Big Sur, and watchOS 7.3.2 to address a concerning WebKit vulnerability. Over the weekend, Apple quietly discontinued the iMac Pro and is selling off the remaining stock. Will it return in some form, or was it just a stopgap while Apple redesigned the Mac Pro? If you’ve had trouble scrolling through email messages in Mail on your Mac, Adam Engst has a possible explanation. The mystery of Dustin Curtis’s locked Apple ID has been a hot topic in the Apple community, and we try to tease out what happened. Finally, if you’re missing MagSafe for your MacBook, Adam takes a look at magnetic USB-C charging adapters to see how they compare. Notable Mac app releases this week include iMovie 10.2.3; BusyCal 3.12.4; Audio Hijack 3.8.4 and Piezo 1.7.3; Final Cut Pro 10.5.2, Compressor 4.5.2, and Motion 5.5.1; DEVONthink 3.6.3; Transmit 5.7.2; Zoom 5.5.5; and Safari 14.0.3.

Apple updated the 21.5in iMac in August 2020 but rather than upgrading the processors all the company did was switch out the old-fashioned hard drives that used to ship as standard for faster SSDs. Testing conducted by Apple in July 2020 using preproduction 3.6GHz 10-core Intel Core i9-based 27‑inch iMac systems with 128GB of RAM and shipping 3.6GHz 8-core Intel Core i9-based 27‑inch iMac systems with 64GB of RAM. Tested with MATLAB and Simulink R2020a Update 4 and Parallel Computing Toolbox using a vehicle dynamics model.

Shortly afterwards stock returned and currently on Apple.ca the iMac Pro is showing it ships in 3-4 weeks. While it’s clear the iMac Pro is due for an update, as for timing, nobody really knows when we might see a refresh but with a rumoured March event coming and WWDC expected later this summer, there are many opportunities for Apple to unveil its next iMac Pro.
