Renowned pourer l0vetodream said today that the next iMac makeover will feature an even larger screen than the current iMac line.
Apple currently sells iMacs in two sizes; a 21.5-inch model and a 27-inch model. The leak suggests that the new iMac will feature a screen that is Apple’s largest yet, thus exceeding 27 inches. Perhaps Apple is looking to match the Apple Pro Display XDR and create a 32-inch multifunctional machine?
The new iMac is expected to have a radical redesign, as the industrial design of the current iMac dates back almost eight years ago, with extremely large screens and a beveled chassis.
The new iMac should follow design tips from the aesthetics of the iPad Pro 2018 with reduced bezels and flatter sides. In January, Bloomberg said the iMac will be similar to the Pro Display XDR.
We heard persistent rumors that the small 21.5-inch iMac will have its screen upgraded to 24 inches as part of the redesign, resulting in a machine that is almost the same physical size as the current iMac, thanks to the supposed shrinkage of the display bezel. (In fact, Apple had been manufacturing 24-inch iMacs for more than a decade, before the iMac switched to an aluminum case).
The l0vetodream tweet suggests that the top-of-the-line iMac will also see an increase in screen size, exceeding the current size of 27 inches. Historically, 27 inches is as big as the iMac once was. However, the Apple Cinema Display was sold in a 30-inch size, so this is a potential route here, as it is compatible with the 32-inch screen found on the Pro Display XDR.
The new iMac line is set to debut in the coming months, featuring a next-generation Apple silicon chip. We’ve seen Apple discontinue the top-of-the-line iMac Pro and stop selling many 21.5-inch iMac BTO configurations as it prepares for a product review.
