Rumors regarding the probable release of iMac in 2023 are starting to gain momentum again. A new 24-inch iMac could see the light of day by the end of October, according to Mark Gurman, Bloomberg journalist and primary source. In his Power On newsletter, he indicates that Apple’s new computer will arrive on October 30 or 31, following the latest iMac, equipped with the M1 chip, launched in the first half of 2021.
Mark Gurman writes that he was “says Apple was planning a Mac-centric product launch towards the end of this month“. He also notes that iMac online orders are being pushed back to mid-November.”Apple stores are out of stock of the iMac, as well as the 13-inch MacBook Pro and high-end MacBook Pro — two other models that could use a refresh“, he specifies. And the announcement of the results in November hides something, according to him. “This will be the first time since 2018 that the company releases its quarterly results in November (usually this happens at the end of October). The last time this happened, the results followed an iPad and Mac event on October 30“, he recalls.
A Pro version in 2024 or 2025
The journalist also returns to the iMac Pro, a version postponed, but never canceled. This larger model is still expected to follow the 24-inch one, and will arrive either at the end of 2024 or in 2025. It will have a 32-inch screen, making it the largest iMac in Apple history.
Analyst Ming Chu Kuo, for his part, mentioned a 32-inch mini-LED screen, with a launch planned for 2025. For information, Apple’s Pro Display XDR screen, also with 32-inch mini-LED technology , is marketed at a starting price of €5,499.
Regarding the configuration of the new 24-inch iMac, last July he announced the release in the fall of new iMacs equipped with the M3 chip. It seems that we are moving more towards the launch of a 24-inch iMac equipped with an M2 and/or M2 Pro chip, according to the Japanese site MacOtakara, another market player with sourced information.
