There were several sources that backed up this leak, such as Ross Young, who did say that the new 27-inch iMac would come with ProMotion and a Mini-LED screen. even supported this information with a paywalled article of their own, however, they just published an article saying that the new iMacs will display but an LCD one instead.
We still believe it is Mini LED.

This left a lot of users confused on which display these new iMacs would have, but there is still speculation that Mini-LED could have been misinterpreted, and Apple could be using an LCD screen with Mini-LED backlighting instead. But do keep in mind that this is all speculation and rumors with nothing confirmed by Apple yet, so stay tuned for more updates from us.
