Hey everyone! Today, we are diving into the exciting world of the New iMac Pro and its future. The iMac has been a staple in the Apple lineup for so many years. But there has been a big gap without a larger iMac model, especially the 27-inch version, also known as the iMac Pro. The last one we saw was back in 2020. So, what’s happening now? Will we see a new iMac Pro, maybe with a 32-inch screen, powered by the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips? Let’s explore all the rumors and leaks!
The History of the iMac
The last big iMac we had was the 27-inch model. It was introduced back in 2017. After that, Apple launched the new style of iMac, the 24-inch model, in 2021. This new iMac had a modern design and was thinner, which was very impressive. It also came with the M1 chip, which gave it a great performance boost.
Fast forward to 2023, and we saw an update with the M3 chip, and just recently, it got updated to the M4 chip. The colors and design got a little tweak, and we also saw new accessories like the Magic Mouse and keyboard with USB-C. All of this was exciting, but we still missed the larger iMac.
The iMac Studio
In 2022, Apple introduced the Mac Studio and the Studio Display. Some people believe that the Mac Studio replaced the larger iMac. The Studio Display is a 27-inch screen, and it has the same panel that was used in the old iMac 27-inch models. So, if you want a large display, you could get the Mac Studio and the Studio Display together. But that’s two devices instead of one, which is not the same as the classic iMac.
Will We See a New Larger iMac?
This brings us to the big question: will we get a new larger iMac soon? Well, here’s the scoop! According to reports, Apple is not planning to make a 27-inch iMac anymore. But that doesn’t mean they won’t make a larger iMac at all. They could be thinking about something bigger, like a 30-inch or even a 32-inch iMac. Imagine having all that power and a big beautiful screen in one machine!
Many fans, including you guys, want to see a larger iMac. If Apple makes it, what could it include? Most likely, if a new larger iMac comes out, it will have the M4 Pro chip inside. There’s a chance it could have the M4 Max chip too, but that’s a bit tricky. The M4 Max is super powerful, but it could make the iMac very expensive, maybe over $3,500. That’s a lot of money!
What Will Be Inside the New iMac?
If we do get a new iMac, the M4 Pro chip would be a great choice. It would give users excellent performance without breaking the bank. But if Apple decides to include the M4 Max, we might see a price jump. The current Mac Studio with the M4 Max and the Studio Display costs around $3,500. So, it would make sense for Apple to keep the price reasonable if they want to attract more buyers.
What About the iMac Pro?
Another interesting point is the potential return of the iMac Pro. The iMac Pro was a powerful machine that many loved. Apple could bring it back with a new design and better specs. This could be a way to justify a higher price, around $3,500 or more.
More Rumors and Leaks
Now, let’s talk about some more rumors. Mark Gurman, a well-known analyst, mentioned that Apple hasn’t given up on making a larger iMac. He believes it’s still in the works. While we haven’t seen any new shells or designs yet, it’s exciting to think about what could come next.
If the new iMac does come out, it will likely have a mini LED display. This type of display offers better colors and contrast. Plus, it might have a promotion display with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. This is what we see in the MacBook Pros, and it would be a fantastic addition to a desktop iMac!
Release Date Expectations
If Apple is planning to launch this new iMac, we might see it in late 2025, around October or November. This timing aligns with when Apple usually announces new products. However, don’t expect it to have the M5 chip just yet. The M5 chip will likely debut with the new iPad Pro first, which is expected in late 2025 or early 2026.
