The reason for the delay was the same as for the next Mac Pro: high development costs and the difficulties of engineering its chips. Gurman weighed in further in December 2022, claiming the iMac Pro had been delayed - until when exactly, we’re not sure. That could be the soonest time frame for the 27-inch iMac.

Given we haven’t even seen M2 Pro and M2 Max chips yet (and probably won’t until late 2023), don’t expect the M3 to see the light of day until late 2023 at the very earliest. In early July, Gurman explained in his newsletter that he expected the larger iMac to come with the option of M3 Pro or M3 Max chips. 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) March 6, 2022Īdding to that impression is well-known Apple journalist Mark Gurman, who possesses a strong track record for Apple leaks and rumors. 2022: More powerful Mac mini and more affordable external display (27-inch without mini-LED). Predictions for Apple's new desktop products:ġ. With a new 27-inch display just launched, Apple will want to give it some breathing space, which could mean a 2023 launch date for the larger iMac (if it comes out at all). Indeed, reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo doesn’t believe the high-end iMac will come out until 2023. If that’s correct, when could we see the 27-inch iMac make a splash? Well, now that the Mac Studio and its accompanying 27-inch Studio Display are out in the wild, we can’t see a 27-inch iMac on 2022’s horizon unless something very surprising were to happen.

The inclusion of the measurements in the name could be read as an implication that there is another size on the way. On its website, Apple lists the 24-inch iMac as “iMac 24.” If it was going to be the only size option in the iMac family, it seems likely Apple would just call it “iMac,” as there would be no need for a differentiator. Since the 24-inch iMac already comes with an Apple silicon chip, it leaves open the possibility of a new 27-inch iMac (equipped with Apple silicon) coming out while still conforming to Apple’s statement that the Mac Pro was the only Mac waiting to make the transition to the Apple silicon chip.Īnd there’s another clue.

It doesn’t necessarily hold true for the iMac, though. As this was always a separate product line from the standard iMac, Apple’s announcement would seem to confirm that the iMac Pro will not get a new release date any time soon. That’s probably true for the iMac Pro, at least.
