Fans have been hoping for Apple's new iMac to be released in 2017 since it was a no-show last October. Unfortunately, no announcement about the device has been made.

2017 is said to be iPhone's 10th anniversary year, leading many to believe that the company will also launch an updated iMac on the same year. The Apple iMac has been last updated in 2015, giving smaller iMacs a Retina display and a Skylake chip for bigger versions.

However, rumors suggest that the iMac 2017 will again be delayed.

According to Inquisitr, "One of the biggest possible reasons behind the considerable delay of the iMac 2017's release would be Intel's Kaby Lake processors."

"While Apple settled on sixth-generation Skylake processors for the MacBook Pro 2016, there is a very slim chance that Apple would do the same strategy for the 2017 iMac. After all, between the two devices, the iMac has traditionally been more powerful than the MacBook Pro," the source added.

Reports are rife that the iMac 2017 will have revolutionary specs and features that will allow users to really enjoy the device.

Aside from Intel's powerful Kaby Lake processor, the device is expected to have AMD Polaris 10/11 graphic chip and fingerprint scanner. It is likely to sport an OLED Touch bar and might also be VR-ready.

"As far as VR goes, it's not something that is paid much attention to, but it certainly couldn't hurt for Apple's computers to be able to do it adequately... If VR lights a fire under Apple's rear end and gets the company to put out a pro version of the iMac, then it will be a good thing for all users," as reported by Macworld.

The highly anticipated device is also speculated to pack a Thunderbolt 3 and USB-Type C for a better data transfer experience and faster battery charging. The Apple PC is rumored to feature a full Flash Storage and a 5K display with an Intel 10-core Xeon E7.

The iMac 2017 is still a mystery and Apple has yet to give clear updates about the highly anticipated device.
