Apple is planning a slate of new Macs in the coming months, including a new iMac, 15-inch MacBook Air, Mac Pro, and much more. It’s going to be a busy summer.
The M1 iMac made a big splash when it launched in spring 2021, but it’s been a long two years without updates since then. There’s some good news for Apple fans, though, as a new iMac is apparently almost upon us.
That’s according to a new report from Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, who claims the next iMac is undergoing production tests as we speak. This stage of development (known as engineering validation testing, or EVT) means the product is getting close to launching.
Although Gurman says the iMac probably won’t enter mass production for at least another three months, this is still the most promising iMac news we’ve heard in a long time. Considering the production schedule, Gurman believes the next iMac will start shipping in the second half of 2023 at the earliest.
So, what can we expect when the new iMac hits store shelves? Gurman’s report explains that it will be very similar to the current M1 iMac, at least on the outside. That means the same 24-inch display size and the same range of bright chassis colors, ensuring it’ll continue the design language established by the existing model.
