Good news: new clues suggest that‘iMac will be marketed this October.

The month of October is almost coming to an end, but Apple still has many surprises up its sleeve. While users await the announcement of new iPads, and the Apple brand has already revealed an entry-level Apple Pencil, as rumors predicted, a brand new iMac could also be unveiled in this end of the month.

You are right, this perfectly contradicts the latest rumors, which then mentioned a release in 2024 and 2025 for the 24-inch and 32-inch iMacs. But the media Bloomberg does not seem to be of this opinion…

A release in 2023 for the 24-inch iMac?

It’s difficult to trust rumors when they constantly contradict each other. However, Mark Gurman is clear: the new version of the iMac will arrive neither in 2024 nor in 2025, but well before the end of 2023. In his newsletter Power On of last October 22, the journalist of Bloomberg even claims that Apple’s all-in-one computer will be presented next Monday, October 30.

As you probably know, a 32-inch iMac equipped with a mini-LED screen has also been in Apple’s pipeline for a number of years. That being said, let us point out that the release expected for this month of October does indeed concern the 24-inch model, which would then completely ignore the M2 chip…

Imminent announcements for the new iMac and MacBook Pro

As the site reminds us The Verge, the latest iteration of the iMac was released more than 900 days ago, during the first half of 2021. It would therefore be time to find a replacement equipped with a brand new chip. If Gurman did not specify it during his newsletter published yesterday, he has nevertheless already mentioned, in the past, the possibility of finding an entry-level M3 processor in the new iMac.

To support his statements, Gurman adds that certain configurations of the iMac and MacBook Pro are currently experiencing unusually long delays on Apple’s online store. According to him, this is a clear sign that the firm will soon take the floor to unveil its new devices. Finally, remember that the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air M3 should ultimately not be marketed this year.

  • A very elegant and modern design
  • M1 processor performance
  • Finally a webcam worthy of the name

The 2021 iMac gives a big boost to Apple’s desktop computer range. Prettier and more powerful too, it is the ideal all-in-one for families and sufficiently efficient for most teleworking employees. It’s a shame that the device is so expensive, even in its simplest configuration.
