Currently, Apple has the Mac segment with a wide variety of products, perhaps one of the largest fans in memory with different models of MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and renewed Mac Pro. However, a segment that Apple has left in a background is the iMac, which, we only have the 24-inch model, whose only alternatives are Mac Studio. However, it seems that Apple has already entered a study phase to accompany this little Apple, although we will not see it soon in our favorite Apple Stores. Stay that we tell you everything.
New iMacs, but until 2024
The renowned analyst Mark Gurman, affirms that Apple would already be working on a larger screen, specifically on a 32 inch screen a desktop would have the same volume as Apple’s Pro Display XDR, Apple’s most powerful monitor, with a 6K screen and which comes to accompany the Mac Pro.
Behind the launch of mac studiothe 27-inch iMac disappeared, a very iconic model for all users, but after not receiving an update from Apple Silicon, Apple discontinued them in its transition process from Intel chips to Apple’s own chips.
This iMac would surely incorporate the M3 chip, the same chip that would carry the new 24-inch iMac with a 3nm architecturebut with the difference that Apple’s most powerful desktop will have the variant Max and Ultra, with initial features of 32 GB of memory RAM, 512 SSD or 1 TB, and CPU and GPU features that will surely leave us speechless. Whereas, the entry iMac can surely upgrade to 24GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD storage.
What would be the market segment of this iMac?
The arrival of this new iMac will mean a great joy for many iMac loversamong which I include myself, the problem with this product would be its positioning in the market, since what a company never wants to happen could happen: compete against themselves.
In this sense, a 32-inch iMac It would be located between the Mac Studio and its Studio Display and even equipment with the same volume of benefits as the Mac Pro, so, What’s the point of renewing the Mac Pro?
It is possible that Apple has been forced to release the new Mac Pro with the aim of giving up Apple’s relationship with Intel ended and make a brief component upgrade so that the equipment would not be too outdated. For this reason, the Silicon processors that it carries are the same as the Mac Studio, since Apple discarded the M2 Extreme Chip for raising the cost of the unit to an exorbitant price, more exorbitant than the price of this product already is.
Therefore, if the launch of this iMac is in 2024, surely Apple will have a certain product overbooking in the most premium segment of its range of products, but with the caveat that Apple will eliminate one of its products in the near future. Probably, the Mac Pro to stay with the entry iMac, the Mac Studio for mid-range and professional and the iMac 32 for Apple’s most professional segment. What do you think of this diversification of products?
