It was another quiet news week, with only very minor updates to Apple’s iOS office apps and Apple Maps.
A new iMac option appeared in the Apple Store this week with a full set of VESA mount iMacs. These models have hardware on the back to let them connect to special wall mounts or desk stands, rather than the normal iMac stand hardware. Four such mounts are available through the online Apple Store when you purchase an iMac, while others can be purchased elsewhere. VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) mounts refers to an industry standard. Computer and screen companies can make their devices VESA mount compatible so they will work with any third-party mount that uses the same standard. Apple had offeredVESA mount versions in previous generations of iMacs.
Rumors this week focused on the financial side of Apple, with some buzz around the idea that Apple may increase its shareholder dividend or enlarge its stock buyback efforts.
