Apple’s upcoming iMac refresh, slated for September-October, will feature a new color palette, according to insider reports.

The Mac mini is also expected alongside the iMac in that later window, and Gurman says it’ll look identical to the current M4 version. Meanwhile, a high-end MacBook Pro with OLED and touch capabilities is penciled in for the end of the year.For…
