In addition to the already introduced 24" iMac, Apple is planning to introduce a larger model that will replace the current 27" version. The presentation was previously expected by the end of this year. However, the whole thing could now be delayed.
The leaker Dylandkt currently claims on Twitterthat Apple's "high-end iMac" will not launch in the fourth quarter of 2021 alongside Apple's "M1X Macs"—a reference to Apple's redesigned MacBook Pro models—because "Apple simply doesn't want their devices competing for attention, and delays in product releases have led to this schedule." Dylandkt has repeatedly claimed that an "M1X" Apple Silicon chip is intended for high-end Macs, including the larger iMac and the MacBook Pro line.
New iMac could appear with M1X or M2X chip
Based on various reports, Apple is currently expected to unveil two brand new MacBook Pro devices in 14" and 16" sizes sometime between September and November. Renowned Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman has also stated that he believes the larger, redesigned iMac will feature an M1X or M2X chip. However, he was tight-lipped about the launch date. So anyone waiting for a new, larger iMac model may have to wait a little longer, as Dylandkt claims the device will be released sometime in 2022. Of course, as always, it remains to be seen whether he's right in the end. (Image: Apple)
