Rumours Rumours. Let's see :

iMac with 'iPad Pro design language' plus T2 chip could debut at WWDC

Apple transition to own ARM chips in Macs rumored to start at WWDC

Coincidence ?
I am giddy just thinking about it but I am also well aware that both of these are just rumours.
I can certainly imagine a new iMac with 'iPad Pro design language' actually looking like a slighty thicker iPad Pro on a tilt stand looking like the new Magic Keyboard, but hopefully without the integrated keyboard. The switch to ARM could enable that kind of frame or maybe this time they would put the computer in the base similar to a cross between a Mac mini and the 'gooseneck' G4. Whatever it is, I am soooo ready for a new iMac and let's hope they have the 27 inch first.

Get directions on iPhone and a tap on your wrist when you need to turn.
I had to reread that, being in the mindset that they were instructing us how to get more information on the many uses. I thought they meant you can Get directions, as in instructions, on iPhone and [with] a tap on your wrist, meaning your Watch, when you want to turn [the page for next instruction]. I now realize they meant 'Maps' directions on iPhone and a tap from your Watch when you need to turn.

Ironically I've used this feature many times and enjoy the Watch's clever little 'tic-toc' notification sound of a car's turn signal. In fact, when I had to leave my iPhone at the store to have the battery changed, which would take more than an hour, I went to visit a friend 15 minutes away and asked Siri for directions just before leaving it to the store. The Watch alone gave me directions all the way along with the cute turn signal sound at every turn.

I also once took a call from a colleague on my Watch, as I was far from the phone, asking me to go online for some help. As I was heading towards the computer and instructing him to check this and that, I grabbed my phone, switched over and put it on hands free and simply asked : Can you still here me now ? He answers yes and asks why, so I said because I switched to the phone. He said he never would've known and did not hear any transition. That impressed me, it just worked … and beautifully.

Aside from Apple Music, I pretty much used all the features they described, and yet I bought into the Watch only with the Series 4, as I didn't see much use for it before. It really grows on you when you look into the less obvious features.

In 1983, the Acorn RISC Machine Project was begun. RISC, or Reduced Instruction Set Computer, is a processor that can't work with as many instructions as a regular CISC, or Complex Instruction Set Computer, can. But it works faster. 

The result is a processor that is less capable but far more powerful. It's sufficiently powerful and fast that it more than makes up for the fact that instructions have to go through more steps to be completed.

That is a rather strange definition of RISC. It's not so much that it can't work with as many instructions, it's because its whole architecture is designed to have a reduced set of simpler (or not complex) instructions that almost always have a reduced number of cycles per instruction. Every instruction will run faster and execute in less cycles per instruction but will usually have to run more instructions.
Also : less capable but far more powerful : I just don't know what that means.
Also : sufficiently powerful and fast […] that instructions have to go through more steps to be completed. That's what a CISC processor does, each instruction has more cycles or steps to do because they are … well … complex.

"Apple was reportedly just 90 days away from having to declare bankruptcy, but Jobs engineered a deal to get Microsoft to invest $150 million in it."

This annoying myth just never dies. No Apple was not 90 days away from declaring bankruptcy. That year, Apple had a profit of $309 million and had a cash reserve of $1.2 billion.

I know, and you would think better of AI to perpetuate that silliness, particularly since DED covered it so much on his 'Roughly Drafted' site as well as many snippets of that 'deal' right here. This myth has been even more pervasive than the Bill Gates one who purportedly said that no one would ever need more than 640K RAM. I must confess that I believed that one for years because … uh, well … it was just so credible.
Although to the author's defence he did say reportedly, which is defined as :
     according to what some say (used to express the speaker's belief that the information given is not necessarily true).
Yet it's not as if Microsoft injected any money into Apple, insofar that Apple didn't see any of it or could make use of it, they just bought stock, presumably from the stock market, I don't believe Apple issued new stocks for them specifically.

I've been waiting 2 years for this. That's when the GPU on my old 27 inch went bizarro. I've been holding off expecting some trickle-down love from the iMac Pro to come out, an iMac Pro Lite if you will, but the sounds even better. I work mostly remotely so the local machine doesn't do the heavy lifting but it will be so great to have a real machine for the local work. I sure hope it's real this time.
