A new iMac is coming, and this time, rumors suggest that Apple is finally ready to oversize the display – ar at least released A larger version than the 27-inch display we’re all used to.
On MacRumors, credible leaker l0vetodream posted on Twitter over the weekend: “The iMac screen is very big, bigger than the biggest.” That in itself may not seem like much, but it’s important to note that Apple hasn’t redesigned the iMac in nearly a decade. The last time I saw a redesign of the design was far back in 2012. Sure, the line saw it updated components over the years, but otherwise, the iMac has kind of stagnated in the design department, especially compared to other Apple products.
Back in January, Bloomberg reported that the new all-in-one iMac would likely take design cues from Apple’s Pro Display XDR monitor. In terms of size, that would mean that we are looking at a possible 32-inch screen. While the 27-inch display is considered a flagship, Apple also offers a smaller version of 21.5 inches. On Tom’s guide, and this could be up to 24 inches in size.
These are some significant improvements in the field of screened real estate. This is especially true when you consider that new iMacs are rumored to have thinner frames. Apple also assumes it will remove the hideous metal chin from the bottom of current iMacs, as well as shave back the curve into a flat one. The move sounds similar to what Apple did with it iPhone SE and iPhone 12 Mini. By focusing the home button and frames, the iPhone Mini has managed to reduce the screen size to 6.7 inches from the SE’s 4.7-inch display.

Bloomberg quotes anonymous Apple sources as saying that the redesign of the iMac will be “one of the biggest visual updates of any Apple product this year.” And while a larger screen, almost without frames, would be a marked change, it would not be everything different from Pro Display XDR. Mother Leaker Jon Prosser he suggested At the end of February, the iMac will come in several colors: silver, spatial gray, green, light blue and rose gold. That would certainly count as a “big visual update,” and would be incredibly reminiscent of the colorful iMacs of yesteryear, while matching perfectly with the new iPhone 12 colors. However, Prosser has a pretty strong track record with Apple rumors, so take it with a big Bob salt.
What we do know is that the new iMacs will be the first to carry Apple Silicon, making the model 2020 iMac the last to carry an Intel chip. Apple began switching from Intel-powered devices to its own ARM-based SoC last year, so it’s only logical that the iMac design be revised. now. A “big visual update” would help consumers easily differentiate future iMacs as part of the Apple Silicon-powered era. This is confirmed by the fact that Apple has deleted its iMac inventory in recent weeks. ITin the last month, Apple interrupted the iMac Pro. A few weeks later focused on two more configurations from the 21.5-inch iMac.
Rumors led to Apple hosting a launch event in March and were later reviewed in April. (It is assumed that Apple he sowed these rumors in himself to remove leaks.) There’s little chance we’ll hear about the new iMacs then – though Apple is more likely to release a new iPad Pro and Air Tags. We’ll probably have to wait a few more months before we find out what the new iMacs really look like, but it’s fair to say that big changes are coming.
