Apple Confirms No 27-inch iMac with M-Series Chip
Apple has confirmed that it will not be releasing a 27-inch iMac with an M-series chip. This comes as a disappointment to some users who were hoping for a larger version of the new 24-inch iMac, which was unveiled last week.
Apple's Statement
In a statement to TheVerge, Apple PR representative Starlayne Meza said Apple has no plans to release a new 27-inch iMac with Apple silicon.
No Replacement for Intel-Equipped Model
Apple will not be making an Apple Silicon version of the 27-inch iMac to replace the Intel-equipped model that it discontinued in 2022. The company is instead focusing the iMac line around the 24-inch model that was first released in early 2021 and just updated with the new M3 processor this fall.
For those who think the 24-inch iMac’s screen is too small, Apple recommends pairing a 27-inch Studio Display with a Mac Studio or Mac Mini. However, this means losing the all-in-one integration of an iMac.
Possible Reasons for the Decision
This is the first time that Apple has officially commented on rumors of a 27-inch iMac with an M-series chip. The rumors have been circulating for several months, and some analysts have speculated that Apple would release such a device in the near future.
It is unclear why Apple has decided not to release a 27-inch iMac with an M-series chip. One possibility is that the company is focusing on developing a larger all-in-one device with a mini-LED display. Apple is reportedly planning to release a 42-inch OLED iMac in the next few years.
Whatever the reason, the news that Apple will not be releasing a 27-inch iMac with an M-series chip is likely to disappoint some users. However, there are still plenty of other options available for users who need a powerful and stylish all-in-one desktop computer.
