2017 Apple iMac To Be Delayed-
Such rumors are said to spread due to unavailability of the Intel Kaby Lake processor chips used in desktops. Intel's production for the processors will start by the end of December 2016. These chips will then be available after February 2017. So, this has caused a delay in the production of a new iMac.
Apple Cinema Display Delayed As Well-
Kuo also said that the Apple will not reveal a revamped Apple Cinema Display at the Apple Mac Event. It has been six years since the last Apple Cinema Display came out. And, Apple stopped producing it in 2013. And, even when Apple revealed the first 5K iMac in 2014, there were hopes for a new Cinema Display as well. But, nothing as such happened back then. It just thought that the 5K iMac would be enough to impress the customers.
For those who have not seen the 5K iMac launched in 2014, here is a quick review video:
