The China Times, a consistent source of rumors from Asia, is returning to the spill. The media has published an article (displayed on MacRumors) in which it comments Apple will be preparing a new 23-inch Macac, which was to be the "middle brother" between the 21.5- and 27-inch models. The coronavirus epidemic will be launched sometime in the second half of this year.
The purpose of this Mac would be to attract a wider public, as it could be cheaper. The same thing happened an 11-inch iPad, which would inherit the screen shape and current iPad Pro edges of the same size to change the look of the base range. The home button will disappear and a facial ID is received.
Purpose: Sell cheap products
It is quite obvious that over time the standard iPads range will inherit the advantages and disadvantages of the iPad Pro, while the latter are the ones that push specs to the limit and lead the way in innovation. What is less clear about this leak is whether this new 11-inch iPad model could replace the 10.5-inch iPad Air or the 10.2-inch basic iPad. Maybe it's the place of both, depending on the final price it occupies. Above these lines you can see what a hypothetical rose gold model with white edges.
Coming back to the 23-inch iMac, Apple would have chosen that set probably because it would have acquired those panels at a price that allowed them to sell the computer at a cheaper price. Of course, we know nothing about its solution or about whether the Mac itself will have a redesign of its exterior appearance. A matter of waiting for a detailed leak.
