New iMac and Mac Mini are coming soon, cryptic tweet suggests

A new iMac and Mac Mini are on the way, a noted leaker has suggested in a recent tweet. The CoinX Twitter account posted a cryptic tweet simply reading "iMac/Mac mini," followed by a "Soon" emoji — while the tweet was light on detail, there are reasons to believe its veracity.

According to MacRumors, CoinX has a reliable track record when it comes to Apple leaks, sharing information regarding the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR names before they were common knowledge, as well as the "Pro" name for the latest iPhone models. It has also leaked accurate details about the 10.2-inch iPad and 10.5-inch iPad Air, suggesting it has well-placed sources somewhere in the Apple supply chain.

Other than the suggestion that a new iMac and Mac Mini could be on the horizon, few details have been shared about either device. However, as we said in our review of the latest iMac, its design is looking rather long in the tooth these days, so a redesign would be welcome. It may even come with a new Magic Keyboard sporting a Touch Bar.

As for the Mac Mini, Apple last updated it in October 2018, which was the first time the tiny computer had been updated in four years. As such, we wouldn't expect another major update so soon; if the CoinX leak is correct, it's likely to be a small spec bump to the Mac Mini rather than anything groundbreaking.

This leak adds to what already looks like a bumper year for upcoming Apple products. The company is said to be preparing an event for March 31 where a treasure trove of products could be announced, including an iPhone SE 2, a new MacBook Pro 13, a revamped iPad Pro, Tile-like AirTags trackers, and more.

Adding to that is a recent report from well-regarded Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested a range of Apple products kitted out with Mini LED displays are coming later in the year, including a refreshed MacBook Pro 16 and all-new 14.1-inch MacBook Pro. Even if the iMac and Mac Mini don't make an appearance, it seems there's plenty for Apple fans to look forward to in 2020.

Sega classic Alex Kidd is headed to PC and modern consoles

Image
Did you know: Alex Kidd served as Sega's mascot for a brief spell during the late 1980s but as Nintendo's flagship Mario character gained momentum, the company went in a different direction as Alex Kidd wasn't resonating with consumers as much as Sega had hoped for. In 1991, Sega introduced Sonic the Hedgehog and stuck with him as their official mascot for the long haul. One of Sega's lesser-known mascots is making a return to gaming. Alex Kidd, the protagonist of several video games in the late 80s, will return early next year in Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX. A remake of the 1986 Master System game, the new version will include all of the content from the original as well as new levels, alternative bosses, tweaked combat, movement mechanics and menu system plus new modes including a boss rush mode. There's also a retro mode should you prefer the blocky mid-80s visuals. The remake, announced during
