However, since then, the company has not refreshed its lineup, leaving the iMac 24-inch M1 as the latest model. Rumors suggest that Apple is planning to upgrade its iMac lineup this year. So, what exciting features will the new generation of iMac 24-inch have? Let's find out in this article.
Design
Based on recent rumors and reports, it seems that Apple will not bring any changes or improvements to the design of the new iMac 24-inch. The next AIO PC from Apple is expected to continue with a 24-inch display and vibrant color options. The current model comes in colors like green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, and silver. So far, there are no signs that Apple plans to add new colors.
The iMac has a flat back and a softer color on the front with a matching stand. This AIO PC also comes with accessories such as a mouse and keyboard. There are thick bezels around the iMac screen, including a thick chin, which has been a key design element of iMac for many years.
While the exterior remains unchanged, the new 24-inch iMac is set to receive noteworthy hardware upgrades. Additionally, Apple may introduce a new stand design similar to the adjustable height and tilt features of the current base.
Performance
According to recent leaks, the upcoming 24-inch iMac is expected to feature the next-generation M3 chip, succeeding the current M2 chip. The M3 chip will be built on TSMC's 3-nanometer process, bringing significant improvements in both performance and energy efficiency.
Furthermore, we can expect notable enhancements from Apple in terms of RAM, SSD storage, and the number of connectivity ports on this All-in-one desktop to provide a better user experience.
Launch Date
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, a new 24-inch iMac is in an 'advanced development stage' and could be launched as early as the second half of 2023. With no design changes, the product has been ready for a while, awaiting Apple to introduce its third-generation Silicon chip.
Is Apple Launching a Larger iMac?
Alongside the refreshed 24-inch iMac, Apple seems to be planning for a larger iMac Pro, but rumors about this product are contradictory. It is known that the 27-inch iMac line ceased production in March 2022 and was finally replaced by the new iMac and Studio Display.
There have been rumors about an 'iMac Pro' with M3 Pro and M3 Max chips being released alongside the 24-inch iMac, but we haven't heard much about it since last year. So, it remains unclear whether Apple will indeed unveil a new 27-inch 'Pro' iMac in the future.
