“Despite a growing number of reports to the contrary, it’s highly unlikely that Apple will use its developer conference next week to showcase a line of redesigned iMac desktop computers,” Kasper Jade reports for AppleInsider.

Jade reports, “People familiar with the matter say an extensive overhaul to the top-selling Apple consumer desktop machines remains on track for an unveiling later this year, adding that an introduction during company’s Worldwide Developer Conference on Monday would be premature and serve only to disrupt sales of existing models.”

Jade reports, “Apple engineers have been putting extra hours into a pair of radically redesigned 20- and 24-inch iMacs that will be both slimmer and sleeker than today’s offerings. When the project reaches fruition later this year, it will represent the first major industrial design overhaul to hit the flagship all-in-one consumer Apple desktops in nearly three years. Omitted from the makeover will be Apple’s 17-inch iMac model, people familiar with the project have said.”
