Rumor: Apple testing iMac with 32-inch display

Apple is rumored to be experimenting with larger iMacs, including a model with a 32-inch display.

Per Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, these iMacs are still in early development, and might not launch until 2024 or 2025 at the earliest.

Gurman had previously noted that Apple was developing a larger iMac with over a 30-inch display, and he has now specified that the display will be around the same 32-inch size as Apple’s high-end Pro Display XDR monitor. Released in December 2019, the Pro Display XDR has a 6K resolution for Retina-quality content and starts at $4,999.

Apple discontinued its Intel-based 27-inch iMac and iMac Pro over the last few years and has yet to release a larger-screen iMac under its current Apple Silicon architecture. Instead, the company 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.

For now, the 24-inch iMac is the only all-in-one computer sold by Apple. The current model with the M1 chip was released in April 2021, and Gurman expects an updated model with a faster M3 chip to launch by early next year. All current Apple silicon chips are manufactured based on TSMC’s 5nm process, while the M3 chip is expected to move to a 3nm process for significant performance and power efficiency improvements.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
