If you’ve been hankering for an Apple Silicon iMac with a larger screen than the current 24-inch version, there could be some excellent options coming down the pipe.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is in the early stages of developing a new iMac with over a 30-inch display. In his weekly Power On newsletter, Gurman said this iMac remains “further out,” suggesting that it might be at least a year or two away from launching.
Excluding refurbished models, the iMac is currently only available in a 24-inch size, as Apple discontinued the Intel-based 27-inch iMac and iMac Pro over the last few years. Despite occasional rumors about the iMac Pro making a comeback, there is still no larger iMac with Apple Silicon available.
The 24-inch iMac, which was released in April 2021, sports a colorful, ultra-thin design and is outfitted with an M1 chip. Gurman wrote that he expects the 24-inch iMac to be updated with the as-yet-unannounced M3 chip by early next year. All current Apple silicon chips are manufactured based on TSMC’s 5nm process, while the M3 chip is expected to move to a 3nm process for significant performance and power efficiency improvements.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
