With all the components squeezed in behind the display it seems a bit unfair to criticise this 2.5in aluminium section as it's a requirement of the all-in-one design, but with Apple boasting about the amount of room freed up due to all components being located on the M1 it does sound like they could have done more to reduce the size of the chin.Īpple could go much further with a redesign for a future iMac. The iMac screen isn't just surrounded by bezels, it has a giant chin at the base. The changes to the colour and design are likely to follow the 24in iMac, so our hopes for a further reduction to the size of the 'chin' probably won't be answered.

This would be similar to the way that Apple offered a Space Grey iMac Pro (since discontinued).Īnother change we could see on the larger iMac is a black rather than a white border around the screen. Apple could choose a darker finish for the larger pro-focused iMac to distinguish it from the consumer level. The 24in iMac colour scheme includes the following variegated colours: blue, green, red, silver, orange, yellow and purple that blend from dark on the back to a lighter pastel finish on the front. We are hoping that Apple chooses a slightly different colour scheme for the larger iMac compared to the 24in model. We could see reduced bezels giving way to a larger screen (discussed in more detail below), and we could see different colour finishes. With the successor to the 21.5in iMac arriving with a larger 24in display boasting 4.5K Retina and seven different colours to choose from, it seems likely that the larger iMac will get a similar update. With the global component and chip shortages already causing Apple to have to delay the launch of various new Macs it's unlikely that the situation is any different with the new iMac. Read: Apple to complete M-transition by next November. So we could be waiting until November 2022. In an August Power On newsletter Mark Gurman indicated that the last Macs to transition to Apple's own processors will be the iMac and the Mac Pro, and that this transition will happen just on the cusp of the two year deadline that the company set itself. However, there could be an even longer wait. We don't expect to see a new larger iMac until March or April 2022 at the earliest. By the summer of 2022 Mac users will be chomping at the bit for a new model.Īs we thought, a new iMac was not announced at the 18 October Apple Event, but that event does give us a lot of clues as to what we can expect from the new model when it does arrive. However, we could see something sooner than that, which would be good news, because by the summer of 2022 it will be almost two years since Apple last updated the 27in iMac (in August 2020). Based on Apple's self imposed deadline, we can surmise that there will be a new larger iMac by the autumn of 2022 (two years after the first M1 Mac arrived). We are mostly concerned with the larger iMac in this article (although we do discuss the Mac mini and Mac Pro separately if you are interested).
This leaves only the 27in iMac, the Mac Pro and one Mac mini model still powered by Intel, and that is unlikely to be the case for long.
In this article we will look at the rumours and speculation about the successor to the 27in iMac.

Now that we have a new 24in iMac it can only be a matter of time until the 27in iMac also sees an update that could result in a larger 30in - or even 32in - display, new colour options, and the inclusion of the successor to the M1 chip - the M1 Pro or M1 Max - as seen in the 2021 MacBook Pro.
