Apple\u2019s readying a new iMac that could launch as early as the second half of this year, according to a report from Bloomberg<\/em>\u2019s Mark Gurman<\/a>. While the new iMac will reportedly feature the same 24-inch display size as the previous model, it\u2019s expected to come with a more powerful M3 chip made with a 3nm process<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The new iMac isn\u2019t expected to enter mass production until at least three months, Gurman notes, but could still start shipping in the latter half of this year in the same colorways as its predecessor, including blue, silver, pink, and orange. Gurman says the new iMac is at \u201can advanced stage of development\u201d and that Apple\u2019s currently \u201cconducting production tests of the machine.\u201d This tracks with previous rumors from Gurman, which also hinted at a 2023 iMac launch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Other details disclosed by Gurman indicate that some of the iMac\u2019s internal components might get \u201crelocated and redesigned,\u201d and that the production process for mounting the iMac\u2019s stand to the display is \u201cdifferent.\u201d The iMac is overdue for an upgrade. Apple hasn\u2019t refreshed its lineup in two years, with the 2021 model being the first to come<\/a> with the company\u2019s in-house silicon, along with a larger display size and an array of new colors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In addition to a new iMac, Gurman says Apple\u2019s also getting ready to launch the new 15-inch MacBook Air<\/a>, an upgraded 13-inch MacBook Air, and a Mac Pro equipped with an M2 Ultra chip. Gurman speculates that it might make sense for Apple to include an M3 chip in the 13-inch MacBook Air as well, given that the company just released an M2-equipped one last year<\/a>, while reserving the M2 chip for the larger 15-inch model.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
