There's never a dull moment, or even a lull, when it comes to Apple upgrade news. On the heels of last week's announcement about the company's new MacBook lineup, there's now a buzz that new iMacs could be out in time for Christmas.
Apple Insider kicked off the latest round of speculation by reporting on Friday that Apple is expected to refresh its 20- and 24-inch iMacs "in the coming weeks", entering the shopping season with "one of its strongest product portfolios ever."
As for details, there aren't many. Apple Insider and others expect a move to Intel's Centrino 2 platform. A bigger mystery is whether the next iMac refresh will include Nvidia chips as the new MacBooks do.
Despite the build-up, an iMac upgrade could take place with little fanfare, as it did last time around.
Apple is expected to report quarterly financial results tomorrow. -Michelle Meyers
