iMac Pro 2022 27 and 24 iMac
Within the newest version of his Energy On e-newsletter, Gurman prompt that Apple is engaged on a minimum of two ‌iMac‌ fashions, possible utilizing the “M3” collection of chips. Gurman says that Apple will possible launch an up to date 24-inch ‌iMac‌ that includes the usual M3 chip in 2023 and is continuous work on a high-end ‌iMac‌ mannequin:

I additionally nonetheless imagine that Apple is engaged on a larger-screened iMac aimed on the skilled market. I would think about this may use a variation of the M3 chip, possible an M3 Professional and M3 Max. That will match the chips inside the MacBook Professional. I do not assume the mix of a Mac Studio or Mac mini plus an Apple Studio Show cuts it for a lot of professional customers who need extra display actual property.

In March 2021, Apple discontinued the iMac Professional, and in March 2022, it discontinued the 27-inch Intel-based model of the ‌iMac‌, leaving the 24-inch ‌iMac‌ with the M1 chip as the one remaining ‌iMac‌ mannequin. For now, Apple has successfully changed the 27-inch ‌iMac‌ with the Mac Studio and its matching Studio Show and a few sources declare that there’s no high-end iMac in growth, however Gurman is among the many pundits claiming {that a} extra highly effective, bigger ‌iMac‌ continues to be on the best way.

A 24-inch ‌iMac‌ with the M2 chip has been lacking from Gurman’s forecast of upcoming M2 Macs on Apple’s product street map, which incorporates new Mac mini fashions with ‌M2‌ and ‌M2‌ Professional chips, new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Professional fashions with ‌M2‌ Professional and ‌M2‌ Max chips, and a brand new Mac Professional tower with ‌M2‌ Extremely and “‌M2‌ Excessive” chips. Gurman expects an up to date 24-inch ‌iMac‌ to be among the many first ‌M3‌ collection of Macs, which can embody an up to date 13-inch MacBook Air, an all-new 15-inch ‌MacBook Air‌, and probably a brand new 12-inch pocket book that’s “nonetheless in early growth.”

Gurman beforehand mentioned that the launch of the brand new high-end ‌iMac‌ “will not be anytime quickly,” and use of ‌M3‌ collection chips would point out that will not emerge till 2023 on the earliest. The ‌M3‌ household of chips are anticipated to be constructed on TSMC’s 3nm know-how, not like the ‌M1‌ and ‌M2‌, that are constructed utilizing a 5nm course of. The extra superior manufacturing course of is predicted to carry important efficiency and effectivity enhancements.
