Is iMac being Discontinued

Exploring the Future of iMac: Delve into recent developments and rumors surrounding the potential discontinuation of the iMac, examining the implications for Apple’s desktop lineup.

iMac Pro

The iMac Pro is a powerful all-in-one desktop computer designed by Apple Inc. and released in 2017 for users requiring superior performance and reliability from their hardware. It boasts an extremely capable Intel Xeon processor, up to 18 cores, as well as high-end graphics powered by the AMD Radeon Pro Vega GPU. As a result of these powerful components, the iMac Pro can handle next generation workloads such as 4K video editing or 3D rendering with ease. Depending on individual needs, customers can choose between 8GB or 16GB of RAM, making it suitable for serious professionals who need reliable Mac performance for those demanding tasks.

Running MacOS High Sierra (or later), the iMac Pro includes four Thunderbolt 3 ports which are capable of providing up to 40GB/s of data transfer speeds when used with devices like external hard drives and SSDs. Additionally, it comes with a 10 gigabit Ethernet port for faster network connections, making it even more conducive to professional work environments where time is money. With its sleek black design and added security features such as secure booting and support for touch ID authorization, the iMac Pro provides top notch computing capabilities that can meet any demand while still looking great in professional settings.

27-inch iMac

Apple’s 27-inch iMac bid farewell to Intel’s processing power, making way for the revolutionary Mac Studio and Studio Display in a sensational March debut. This means that currently the only remaining all-in-one desktop computer offered by Apple is the 24-inch iMac powered by M1 chip.

According to reports from reliable sources like Mark Gurman and Ming-Chi Kuo, might be possible that this situation could change in 2023. The possibility exists that the iMac Pro may make a comeback, although no official confirmation has been issued yet by Apple. If it does return, people who prefer larger screens will once again be able to get them on an all-in-one if they want it. For now though, consumers only option for a Apple computer with an all screen is the 24 inch iMac product.

It appears that the 27-inch iMac may no longer be available

The news that the 27-inch iMac might be gone forever comes as a blow to fans of big screen desktops. With Apple removing all mention of it from their website, as well as no plans to make one anytime soon, customers are stuck with just the 24-inch model. This is dismaying for those who were hoping for a 27-inch model equipped with either M1 Pro or M1 Max. Although Apple Refurbished and Clearance stores still have some in stock, these won’t last forever and will most likely be phased out at some point too.

It looks like those wanting bigger than 24 inches will have to wait for the Mac Pro to hit shelves. It too was announced by Apple during this week’s event and will come packed with an impressive range of features such as up to 28 cores, up to 2TB RAM memory options, Radeon Pro Vega II Duo graphics card and more. Until then however we can only hope that the Apple’s 27-inch iMac makes a comeback sometime in the near future so everyone can enjoy the best of both worlds!

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 27-inch iMac appears to have been discontinued, with no plans to make another model in the near future. However, rumors suggest that an iMac Pro may be released in 2023 that could offer larger screen sizes if desired. For now, customers can only purchase 24-inch models of the iMac powered by M1 chips.
