The current iMac sports a 4.5K resolution 24-inch display, two Thunderbolt 3 and two USB-C ports. Speaking of which, the upcoming M3 chip is expected to move from TSMC’s 5-nanometer process to its new 3-nanometer design, bringing much more substantial performance and power consumption improvements than the jump from M1 to M2. Therefore, it doesn’t make sense for Apple to release an M2 iMac only to become obsolete when an M3 chip comes out a few months later. Gurman claims that the M2 is meant to be a stopgap chip ahead of the upcoming M3. It doesn’t look like Apple will bother releasing an M2-powered iMac, and for a good reason. What about an M2 iMac?

September is reserved for new iPhones, but Apple also holds a Mac-centric event in October.

Gurman claims that mass production of the next iMac is expected to kick off about three months ahead of its planned launch, sometime in the year’s second half. Well, Apple is currently conducting production tests for the upcoming machine. So, when will the updated iMac launch? The new iMac will come in the same colors as the current one | Image: Apple
