Apple has confirmed to The Verge that it has no plans to release a new 27-inch iMac with Apple silicon.
Apple discontinued the Intel-based 27-inch iMac and iMac Pro over the past few years, and it has yet to launch a larger-screen iMac with an Apple silicon chip as a replacement. Instead, Apple offers the 27-inch Studio Display, which can be connected to the Mac Studio or another Mac with Apple silicon, but this is not an all-in-one solution like the iMac.
From the report:
Apple PR representative Starlayne Meza confirmed the company’s plans to The Verge. The company encourages those who have been holding out hope for a larger iMac to consider the Studio Display and Mac Studio or Mac mini.
Apple has only ruled out a new 27-inch iMac, so a larger-screened iMac is still possible. Last month, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman said Apple was still developing an iMac Pro with a 32-inch display for release in late 2024 or in 2025.
