The Apple backbone is sure fast karring and furious today.
As expected, it looks like the 27 inch iMac Apple, which was released last summer, will be the last of the Intel iMacs. It will also be the last with the distinctive iMac design, with thick black edges around the screen and the giant aluminum chin with the Apple logo, and the last with a curved back. The iMac is finally getting a recharge, baby.
According to Bloomberg, Apple will replace the Intel iMac series later this year with redesigned 21.5- and 27-inch versions with Apple Silicon. This is the first overhaul the iMac has seen in nine years, to be honest. Last year’s iMac was very good, especially if you chose the nano-textured glass screen, but it certainly looks outdated, and the processing power we saw from Apple’s ARM-based M1 drive in the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air is probably just a foretaste of what will be in the new iMac come. Bloomberg says the new iMacs will look more like Apple’s Pro Display XDR monitor (which is very nice, but also $ 5,000).
Those of you who hope to be completely revamped However, iPhones or MacBooks will be disappointed. According to Bloomberg’s sources, the iMac is the only product that gets a major redesign.
For professionals who need even more of their machines than an iMac can deliver, Apple is reportedly also developing two new Mac Pros. (The Pro is Apple’s most expensive desktop.) The version that is likely to stand out is a redesigned Pro that, according to Bloomberg, can look like the Power Mac G4 Cube and is powered by Apple Silicon. The second looks similar to the Mac Pro was released in 2019 and has Intel processors. Honestly, a G4 Cube look would be greatly appreciated after two very weird Mac Pros: the aesthetic cheese razor of 2019, which followed the trash Pro of 2013.
If you do not want to pay $ 5000 for the Pro Display XDR to go with your Mac Pro (or Mac Mini), but also want an Apple-designed monitor, the company is apparently also working on a cheaper version. Of course, it will not have the professional version of the Pro Display, but most people do not need something so highly for daily use. We’ll welcome an Apple screen for ordinary people after the $ 1,000 Thunderbolt screen was phased out five years ago.

Now we have to wait and see if these developments come to fruition, but the chances look pretty good.
