The 32-inch iMac Pro

Another one of these rumors that’s been swirling for about two years now without gaining much traction concerns the development of a larger iMac.

Rumors of a 30-inch iMac or 32-inch iMac go back to at least 2021, but instead, we’ve seen the last of the 27-inch iMacs go away, with the 2020 Intel iMac being quietly discontinued when Apple released the Mac Studio and Apple Studio Display. That duo seemed like an obvious replacement for both the 27-inch iMac and the legacy 2017 iMac Pro, but Apple also never ruled out the possibility that a larger iMac could someday arrive.

Last fall, Apple refreshed the 24-inch iMac with an M3 chip — but not much else. Even the accessories remained laden with Lightning ports. Many were disappointed that a larger iMac remained missing in action, but most sources had already predicted it wouldn’t appear until late 2024. More recently, those have been revised to 2025, which seems more likely. The iMac has clearly become less of a priority for Apple; even the popular 24-inch model went two years between updates, skipping the M2 chip entirely.
