Compared with the previous generation, the brightness of the new iMac has increased by 43, up to 500 nits. In 2014, Apple introduced the Retina 5K display, but to this day, users who can use the 4K display are still not the majority. As for pricing, until we know more about the components and features, I can’t even hazard a guess. Of course, for me, the iMac is a top-of-the-line 5K display, and I sent a computer by the way. Young tentatively pegs it for August at the earliest. If the announcement happens around June, it could potentially ship close to when the new operating system becomes available. But I don’t hold out much hope for any of that. It would be nice to see a smarter design with, for example, a couple of the Thunderbolt ports and SD card reader on the side, a way to raise and lower the screen (maybe even swivel or rotate!), an HDMI connection, user-upgradeable memory and storage and support for Face ID. After all, Apple managed to get one in the 24-inch iMac. It’s a good bet that it will incorporate an upgraded webcam. There has been no mention of other design aspects, potential features or reliable rumors about it coming in colors like the iMac 24.

The original iMac Pro was discontinued in 2021.

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 earlier rumored 32-inch screen and possibly whatever CPU and GPU combos of Apple silicon end up in an all-Apple Mac Pro.

(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 Pros. 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. Apple is preparing to launch at least one new Mac next month during an event rumored to be held on Tuesday, March 8, and that announcement will be followed by another round of new Macs around May. 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. 8) 3 'Where Space Gods Go To Die' Release date: JCover date: August, 2018.
