iMac Pro

In the latest edition of the Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says he expects Apple will release a rebranded iMac Pro that is “bigger than the current 24-inch” but with a similar design language.

Update: DigiTimes said on Wednesday that the new 27-inch iMac Pro won’t feature a miniLED display. DSCC analyst Ross Young still believes this new Mac will.

DigiTimes is another source backing up the claim that the upcoming iMac Pro will feature a 27-inch display with miniLED technology. This is a paywalled preview of an upcoming report.

Back in July, 9to5Mac reported that Apple was testing a new external display with a dedicated A13 chip and Neural Engine. Now, a leaker is also corroborating that the company seems to be working on an improved 32-inch Pro Display XDR with custom silicon.

Rumors about the new 27-inch iMac Pro keep getting traction as a new report by Display Supply Chain Consultants gives a few tidbits about an upcoming Mac set to replace the current 27-inch Intel model.

With September and October Apple events out of the way, there are still some unannounced but eagerly anticipated Apple products to come by some point next year.

The September event saw the company announce the iPhone 13 lineup, Apple Watch Series 7, iPad mini, and the iPad 9. October’s Unleashed event added the long-awaited 14- and 16-inch M1 MacBook Pros, AirPods 3, and new HomePod mini colors.

But that still leaves us waiting for a number of as-yet unannounced products …

Dylandkt, who has been building his reputation regarding Apple leaks over the past year, has shared some information about a possible new iMac or iMac Pro that could launch in the first half of 2022.

According to new information, this new iMac, which is still not clear whether this could be the 27-inch replacement or a new iMac Pro, and will include a lot of features that were just added to the new MacBook Pro.

A new report today offers a claimed look at Apple’s 2022 iMac plans, namely to prioritize quality over quantity when it comes to the display. The report says that Apple is sticking to 27 inches for next year’s iMac, but will offer the same display tech used in the just-launched MacBook Pro models.

This contradicts expectations of a 32-inch iMac, which would seem the obvious next step for a couple of reasons …

Following the discontinuation of the iMac Pro earlier this year, Apple is now winding down sales of the accompanying space gray Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Mouse. These accessories were first introduced exclusively for the iMac Pro when it was released in 2017, and Apple started selling them separately in March of 2018.

Looking back, 2017 should’ve been a great year for Apple: ten years of the first iPhone, Apple Watch Series 3, updates to the Mac, new iPads, the Apple TV 4K, and two brand new products: HomePod and AirPower. But as time has passed, some products by the company didn’t age well.

The iMac Pro has officially been removed from Apple’s website as well as the Apple Store app. This comes after the company announced two weeks ago that the iMac would only be available “while supplies last” and would not be replaced.

Update: As we noted earlier today, despite the iMac Pro being discontinued it would still likely go in and out of stock for a bit. It’s now currently back in-stock in the United States on Apple.com albeit in short supply.

Two days ago we reported that the iMac Pro had been listed as “while supplies last” on the Apple Store. Today the iMac Pro officially became unavailable from the Apple Store and from major third-party retail partners in the US, marking the end of the three-year-old transitional product line.

On Friday, Apple removed from all build-to-order configurations for the iMac Pro from its online store. The only model now available to buy is the $4999 base one, and Apple says that model will only be available while supplies last.

Four years after the iMac Pro’s launch, do you think Apple will ever release another one?

In addition to the improvements to the consumer iMac today, Apple has also made some very minor adjustments to the iMac Pro lineup. The base model iMac Pro now includes a 10-core Intel Xeon processor, but unfortunately, the iMac Pro misses out on the new nano-texture glass option.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is out with a new investor note today focused on what to expect from Apple for the rest of this year. According to the analyst, we can expect six new Apple products with mini-LED, including a new 14.1-inch MacBook Pro.

With the 2018 MacBook Pro gaining Hey Siri support, we had a pretty good feeling about the prospect of Hey Siri coming to the iMac Pro as well, seeing as they both utilize Apple’s T2 custom silicon. Now that macOS Mojave has launched, Apple has confirmed Hey Siri support, and we’ve been able to test it out.
