Apple confirms that the company has no plans to create a 27-inch Apple Silicon iMac

If you were holding your breath for a 27-inch Apple Silicon iMac, you might want to exhale.

Apple has confirmed to The Verge and other publications that the company has no plans for a 27-inch unit.

Apple discontinued both the Intel-based 27-inch iMac and iMac Pro over the past two years, and it has yet to launch a larger-screen iMac with an Apple silicon chip as a replacement, leaving the recently-updated 24-inch iMac with the M3 chip as its only all-in-one desktop computer. For customers who want a larger or higher-end desktop, Apple recommends pairing the 27-inch Studio Display with a Mac Studio or Mac mini.

Instead of creating a 27-inch Apple Silicon iMac, the company will focus the iMac line around the 24-inch model, which was just updated with the new M3 processor.

Even so, some rumors have spilled over from Bloomberg that Apple could be developing an iMac Pro with a 32-inch display for release in late 2024 or in 2025. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also expects a 32-inch iMac with mini-LED display backlighting to launch in 2025.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
