Is Apple’s all-in-one getting an update this year? It seems that the iMac (2023) is likely to make an appearance with the M3 chip inside.
The iMac 24-inch is finally getting an update. At least that’s what Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says in his report. And it’s about damn time.
As one of the best all-in-one computers, the iMac (24-inch, 2021) gave us a much more attractive and better value proposition over its now-defunct 21-inch and 27-inch models with its 24-inch display, fun colorways, and of course, that M1 chip inside. However, unlike all the other Apple silicon-powered computers, all of which are now available with newer chips, the iMac line hasn’t received a proper update in almost two years.
Luckily, that might change this year. Although Apple itself hasn’t confirmed anything, Gurman says that the manufacturer is set to launch its “next slate of laptops and desktops” this year, including the next iMac, which is at “an advanced stage of development called engineering validation testing.”
So, while it seems that it’s still currently in its production testing stage, it’s very likely that we’ll see the new AIO sometime this year. This seems to support Gurman’s earlier prediction that a new iMac won’t roll out “until the M3 chip generation.”
Does this mean that the rumored iMac (2023) will come out swinging with this M3 chip that Apple is allegedly working on? Signs point to very likely, with Apple supplier Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) reportedly starting its mass production of next-generation 3-nanometer chips back in December 2022.
Until we see Apple launch the iMac (2023) at one of its events, it’s all conjecture at this point. Still, if you’re hoping to update your older iMac 24-inch soon – though it’s not as if it’s obsolete – it might behove you to start putting some money aside and bookmark this page as we’ll update it as soon as we get more information about the next-generation iMac.
