Apple recently unveiled its latest addition to the iMac lineup, the new M4 iMac. Packed with upgrades catering to creatives and professionals, such as the powerful M4 chip, Thunderbolt 4, enhanced camera, and nano-texture display, this iMac is sure to turn heads.
However, it’s important to note that this new release is not an iMac Pro. The absence of a larger and more robust iMac model has been felt since before the transition to Apple Silicon. Despite Apple’s claims of completing the transition in 2022, the 27-inch iMac is still missing from the lineup. Is there hope for its return?
Is it being replaced?
Despite the new releases, the absence of a larger iMac with the M4 chip raises questions. Nearly four years after the discontinuation of the iMac Pro, the fate of a larger iMac remains uncertain.
Apple has suggested that the Mac Studio and Studio Display combination is ideal for professional users. While this setup comes at a lower price compared to the iMac Pro, the absence of a larger iMac model is still felt by many.
While the iMac Pro may not need a revival, the demand for a larger desktop iMac equipped with the M4 chip remains. With only the 24-inch iMac currently available, users seeking a larger option are left with limited choices from Apple.
Missing in action
The lack of rumors surrounding a larger iMac release suggests that it may not be on Apple’s immediate agenda. Even the current iMac upgrades have been minimal, indicating a potential lack of focus on this product line.
Whether Apple is delaying the release of a larger iMac or shelving the idea altogether remains to be seen. With reports suggesting ongoing development, fans of the larger iMac may have to wait a while longer for any significant updates.
While uncertainties loom over the fate of the larger iMac, one thing is clear – Apple enthusiasts may have to wait patiently for any news of a new and improved iMac model in the near future.
