Is Apple Working on a Larger iMac?
Background
- Transition to Apple Silicon: In recent years, Apple replaced its 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMac models with a single 24-inch iMac.
- Discontinued 27-inch iMac: The 27-inch model was discontinued three years ago, and Apple has confirmed it does not plan to release another 27-inch iMac.
Current Rumors
- Professional Market Focus: Despite the lack of a 27-inch iMac, Apple remains interested in the professional market, as indicated by Mark Gurman in his Power On newsletter.
- Larger iMac Explorations: Gurman mentioned that Apple is exploring a larger-screen iMac, possibly with an M4 chip or later. Ming-Chi Kuo also predicted a 32-inch mini LED display iMac for launch in 2025, though this may have been pushed back.
Conclusion
- Uncertainty: While a larger iMac is not off the table, it is unlikely to feature a 27-inch display. If it does launch, it could be at least a year away.
