Apple is gearing up to release the Mac Studio, but with that new model comes the demise of an aging, cheaper alternative. Say goodbye to the 27-inch iMac.
It’s officially the end of the road for the 27-inch iMac. Apple has removed the model from the lineup on its website, meaning you’ll need to find a used unit or pick up the 2021 M1 iMac (which has a smaller 24-inch display) if you’re looking for an all-in-one Apple desktop computer. Of course, the company also has some other alternatives, namely its newly introduced and soon-to-be-released Mac Studio. Apple’s decision to pull the 27-inch iMac from the lineup isn’t terribly surprising, as the company used this model for its Mac Studio performance comparison charts. When it comes to GPU performance, for example, Apple said the new Mac Studio featuring the M1 Ultra chip is 4.5 times faster than the 27-inch iMac packing the Radeon Pro 5700XT.
