Rumor that “27-inch iMac Pro” is unlikely to appear in the near future –Engadget Japanese version

iMac Pro

The 27-inch iMac has quietly ended sales, replacing the introduction of the powerful “Mac Studio” and the 27-inch 5K display “Studio Display.” There were rumors that the successor, the 27-inch screen iMac Pro, was in the works, but it’s possible that it’s no longer the case.

As of March, Apple has no plans to release a larger screen (24-inch or larger) iMac in the near future, according to sources 9to5Mac. This source is said to have announced plans for Mac Studio and Studio Display in advance.

We recently announced that a Mac with the new Apple Silicon M2 is under development, including the next MacBook Air, the 13-inch MacBook Pro, and the new Mac mini. However, it seems that there are no plans to launch a new iMac at this time.

In addition to the “wider screen”, there seems to be no version equipped with M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, etc. According to information seen by 9to5Mac, Apple is developing a new 24-inch iMac with the aim of releasing it in 2023, but it is unlikely that it will be equipped with a high-end processor (M1 high-end chip such as M1 Pro). Has been done.

Of course, Apple’s plans are subject to change, and things don’t always go according to this rumor. But sources say Apple is focused on promoting the Mac Studio and the next Apple Mac Pro with Apple to professional users (so not the professional iMac).

Expectations for a 27-inch iMac Pro have been rising over the last few months, but the first (probably) display analyst has turned to denial. The reason why it ended up being a miss was explained, “Since the Studio Display had a built-in webcam and SoC, sources misunderstood it as an iMac.”

Apple announced at the “Peek Performance” event on the 9th that “one more Mac Pro remains” and “it will be another day” when talking about the Mac’s migration to Apple silicon. Soon, the next Mac Pro and the higher version of the external display “Studio Display Pro” may be unveiled as a set.
