Given Apple’s affinity for continuing with the same design language for multiple generations, the iMac refresh will most likely look identical to its M1-powered version launched in 2021. We are expecting a 24-inch LCD and some bright color options to go with it. So far, rumors from the supply chain side have also pointed at a relatively modest upgrade despite differing on the launch timeline for an iMac refresh.
It seems plans for a new iMac Pro are also still alive. This one will reportedly feature a 32-inch display, the largest Apple has ever fitted on a Mac. The next-gen iMac Pro, however, won’t hit the shelves anytime soon. According to Bloomberg, it will likely arrive late next year or early in 2025. By then, Apple is heavily rumored to launch Mac hardware with an OLED screen instead of the LCD and mini-LED screens buyers get on the current-gen Apple computers.
Down the road, Apple is expected to give a similar OLED upgrade treatment to the iPad lineup, which would come hand in hand with a design refresh. But these are rumors at best, and official plans could change down the road, so take all of this with a healthy dose of skepticism.
