There has been no mention of other design aspects, potential features or reliable rumors about it coming in colors like the iMac 24.
#NEW IMAC RELEASE DATE 2018 PRO#
Given MacRumors’ expectation that whatever it’s called will incorporate the M1 Pro and M1 Pro Max chips which launched with the 14- and 16-inch M1 MacBook Pros in late 2021, however, the door remains ajar for an even higher-end Pro model with the previously rumored 32-inch screen and possibly whatever CPU and GPU combos of Apple silicon end up in an all-Apple Mac Pro, The original iMac Pro was discontinued in 2021.

(It’s also possible Apple could brand its rumored MacBook Pro 13 update as just “MacBook” and make the iMac naming supposition moot.) Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman predicts that an iMac Pro could launch soon, writing that Apple is preparing for new Mac releases at the next Apple event in March and in May or June. There’s no longer a MacBook, for instance, just the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. MacRumors thinks that a new 27-inch iMac will simply be branded “iMac Pro” to differentiate it from its 24-inch entry-level sibling. This is an interesting question, since rumors of a large, revamped iMac tend to be vague. Look at the Pro Display XDR: The entire back is a heatsink, it’s a lot thicker than most monitors and it costs upwards of $4,999.Īs for how big it will be, though initial rumors pegged it at 32 inches (like the Pro Display XDR), for the moment it looks like it will remain 27 inches. So to be able to cool the display (and all the other heat-generating components Apple crams into it) and keep it thin would probably require some technological feats that would jack up the price. But really bright LED backlights of 1,000 nits or more generate a lot of heat. I’ve seen some scattered moaning about “fewer zones” for the backlight, since that means less granular control over local dimming in HDR and therefore a potentially worse experience. Though we expect the first Apple event to take place in early March, the usually spot-on display expert Ross Young thinks it will be bumped from his initial estimate of early this year to debut sometime between June and August, since he doesn’t see panels for it shipping before June,Īpple announces DIY repairs for iPhones and Macs
#NEW IMAC RELEASE DATE 2018 SOFTWARE#
If there are any new or unique capabilities that Apple’s planning to add with the annual operating system update, software developers need to be the first to know. While we don’t know many specifics, my guess is a new model will be announced at the annual Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, which usually happens in early June. It’s a safe bet that 2022 will bring a new version of the 27-inch iMacalong with an updated Mac Pro, Apple previously set a two-year deadline to switch from using third-party processors to its own Silicon chips, and these computers are the last remaining Macs that run Intel. Will its bigger sibling also do away with the convex back? The 24-inch M1 iMac redesign brought a slim, flat, iPad Pro-like silhouette.
