Apple offers the 24-inch iMac in several color choices, but there haven’t been reports on what color choices Apple will use for the iMac Pro. It makes sense that the iMac Pro will borrow some of its design inspiration from the 24-inch iMac. In a Jnewsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggested that the new iMac Pro will have “a similar design to the current M1 iMac.” Wouldn’t that be a fitting date to launch a new iMac? Unfortunately, even a new 24-inch iMac isn’t expected until the end of 2023 at the earliest. So a new iMac Pro in 2023 is looking unlikely, despite the fact that the iMac will be 25 years old on Tuesday, August 15, 2023. In his first newsletter of 2023, Gurman also wrote that the iMac Pro “has been on and off Apple’s road map”, and that “I would be surprised at this point if it arrives in 2023”. In December 2022, Mark Gurman indicated that the iMac Pro had been delayed, citing (as with the new Mac Pro) high development costs and difficulties engineering chips as the cause of the delay. Young isn’t the only one referring to delays. He did note, however, that this display could be destined for a 27-inch iMac, or it could be a new Pro Display XDR. In February 2023, Young told MacRumors that Apple’s plans for a 27-inch screen with ProMotion support (with refresh rates up to 120Hz) had been delayed and it would not launch in the first quarter of 2023 as he had expected. The arrival of the Studio Display hasn’t meant that Young has stopped believing that there is a possibility that Apple has plans for a new 27-inch iMac. He claimed that Apple “is also conducting early work on an iMac with a screen over 30 inches.” 27-inch iMac Pro: Release date

In June 2023 Gurman mentioned it in a weekend newsletter. Still 24Hz – 120Hz variable refresh…Sorry for the confusion!- Ross Young October 20, 2021īut that isn’t the last we’ve heard of the larger iMac. The 27" MiniLED screen is going in an iMac in Q1'22, not an external monitor.
