The M1 Max supports up to 64GB of RAM, with the M1 Pro topping out at 32GB of RAM. Apple is likely to offer both of these chips as options in the 27-inch iMac.Įxpect even higher performance than the MacBook versions, as the iMac will be plugged into the wall all the time. That leaves the M1 Pro and M1 Max that was recently introduced in the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models. Similarly, the M2 chip that is coming to replace it is rumored to go into the MacBook Air and other traditionally lower-powered devices. The base model M1 chip is being replaced everywhere else in the line-up, so don’t expect to see that on this model. With Apple moving the 27-inch iMac to Apple silicon, a few choices are immediately available. iMac 27-inch 2022 power and performance Image: Apple Will Apple keep that on the new model? We hope so.

That way, you could buy the base model with an LCD screen, or upgrade to the mini-LED if you need a better screen. Early rumors did swirl around about a 32-inch LG panel being tested with custom silicon powering it, although we think that will be for an external display and not an iMac.Īpple might also offer the 27-inch iMac with multiple screen options. We’re still expecting the 27-inch iMac 2022 to have a 27-inch screen. That means the screen will have XDR branding, just like Apple’s really-fucking-expensive monitor. Apple already uses this screen type on its MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and iPhone 13 ranges, branded as ProMotion with a 120Hz refresh rate. Supply chain analysis has shown that a mini-LED screen in that size is in the works. It’s no secret that Apple is working on a new 27-inch screen model of the iMac. The display on the new 2022 iMac Image: KnowTechie We expect that the bezels will be black, so perhaps Apple will choose darker colors than it did for the 24-inch model. New iMac colors Image: AppleĪpple currently sells the 24-inch iMac in multiple colors and a report in DigiTimes says that will happen for the 27-inch iMac when it is refreshed.Īt this time, we don’t have any indication of which colors Apple will choose.

We expect Apple to update the 27-inch to the newer, flatter design as the move to Apple silicon means they don’t need the extra cooling solutions they needed for the Intel-powered iMac.
The current 27-inch model has an older, curved design. When Apple revamped the 24-inch iMac last year, they went with a flatter, more iPad Pro-like design. With Apple retiring that name last year, it’s available again. MacRumors has the idea that Apple will use the iMac Pro name for the 27-inch model, to differentiate it from the smaller 24-inch device. Normally, Apple sticks to its existing naming scheme but maybe not this time. You’d think this would be an easy section to write. iMac 27-inch 2022 naming Image: KnowTechie We’ll likely know more after March 8, and knowing which devices Apple is releasing this spring. That seems about right for supply chain constraints, but maybe Apple can still hit the earlier summer date.
