Apple recently announced at its new product launch “Peek Performance.”Mac StudioWhenStudio DisplayWas released. At the same time27-inch iMac discontinuedSo the combination of Mac Studio and Studio Display might be a real 27-inch iMac.
Meanwhile, some journalists and analysts still anticipate the launch of the iMac Pro, which appears to be the successor to the 27-inch iMac. Which idea is right?
March 11, local time, US Apple media9to5MacSaid Apple has no plans to launch an iMac with a large screen in the future.
Will the big screen iMac be released in the future?

According to 9to5Mac, this information came from an anonymous source familiar with Apple’s circumstances. “Apple has no plans to release a big-screen iMac in the near future,” he told 9to5Mac, who had previously announced the announcement of the Mac Studio and Studio Display the other day.
Apple is reportedly working on a next-generation chip, the M2, which is an update to the industry-surprising M1 chip. The chip is likely to be installed in MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, Mac mini, 24-inch iMac, etc., but there are no plans to install it in large-screen iMacs. Also, it seems unlikely that a version equipped with the M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra chips will be released.
If this information is correct, the iMac lineup will be limited to 24-inch models in the future. If you plan to launch a successor to the 27-inch iMac in the near future, it’s a bit unnatural to discontinue the last model with an Intel processor, so it’s normal to think that there will be no successor. I feel like anything.

But as I mentioned earlier, I’m also worried regarding the iMac Pro rumors that some prominent analysts and journalists all say. It’s also uncomfortable that Apple dares to mention “24-inch iMac” in its Mac lineup. I can feel the atmosphere that a lineup other than the 24-inch iMac is likely to come out, but what will happen to the iMac series in the future?
