The new iMac Pro: 27-inch diagonal and miniLED display

Last spring, the iMac was unveiled with a 24-inch display. The computer was completely redesigned: the design was updated, there were 7 new body colours, and the configuration was transformed based on its M1 chip.

Apple has scrapped a further 21.5-inch device with an Intel processor and is planning a final switch to its own processors in 2023.

The 27-inch iMac range is expected to be updated this year. But there is a chance that there will be an update to the 24-inch model as well. What else is known about the new products, we’ll tell you next.

What the 24-inch iMac could be in 2022

Apple unveiled a computer with this diagonal in April 2021. But experts predict that as early as spring 2022 there will be another iMac with an updated configuration of more power, including the M1 Max and M1 Pro chips included with the latest MacBook Pro series models. There is also an alternative option, namely the installation of M2 chips.

According to unconfirmed information so far, Apple plans to unveil an iMac based on the M2 around the middle of this year, and it will be a MacBook Air-like device after a complete redesign. There’s a good chance that the new 24-inch iMac will be a stationary version of such a MacBook, as it will also be outfitted with an M1 processor.

What’s known about the 27-inch iMac

The updated version of this model will reportedly be unveiled in 2022. Today, this iMac is being released with an Intel processor. The design of the computer has not been changed for several years and as a result it is hopelessly outdated and needs to be updated.

If we believe the information circulating on the web, the 27-inch iMac will resemble in appearance a hybrid of the 24-inch model and Pro Display XDR. The design features are predicted to be differentiated from the convex edges of the current iMac model. The screen will be updated and is likely to have a mini LED display, in addition, ProMotion will be supported and refresh rates will reach 120Hz.

Some of the configuration changes include equipping the new imac with the M1 Max and M1 Pro chips found on the latest MacBook Pro series. According to unconfirmed reports, like the new MacBook Pro version, the iMac is expected to have the following basic specifications: 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. In addition, the novelty will be equipped with USB-C/Thunderbolt connectors, SD-card slot and HDMI ports.

When to expect the 27-inch iMac

According to experts, the release of the updated 27-inch iMac should be expected in the second half of this year. But it should be kept in mind that manufacturers of hardware, including Apple, have encountered serious difficulties, which are associated with a shortage of chips.

There are also reports that there will be a presentation of not only the new iMac with a 27-inch screen. Another version of the Mac Pro is also being prepared.
