arrive Black Friday and my intention is to buy my daughter an iMac to give it to her for Christmas. You have a Lenovo All in One that is a few years old and it is time to renew it. And since she uses her iPad Air to take notes in college, I am very clear that what she needs is an iMac for her room as a complement to the iPad, and to retire the Lenovo.
The only thing that annoys me about all this is that the current model of the 24-inch iMac It was released over a year and a half ago. And if I listen to Mark Gurman (I usually do because he is often wrong), it will not be renewed until 2023. So I have no choice but to keep a Mac with an M1 processor, unless I choose a Mac mini or a laptop. As I said, a nuisance.
Last June Apple introduced the second generation of Apple Silicon processors, the family of chips M2. And from then until now, as expected, Apple has already launched three new devices that already incorporate the new M2 processor: The 13-inch MacBook Pro, the current MacBook Air, and the iPad Pro.
So the most logical thing is that a iMac M2, or at least, plan to do so in a few months, since the current 1-inch iMac M24 is over a year and a half old. Well, it's going to be no.
According to the latest News about it filtered by Mark Gurman, Apple does not plan to launch any iMac in the coming months with an M2 processor, but will directly present a new model with the next generation of processors, the M3.
The next iMac with M3
The iMac will jump from the M1 to the M3 without going through the M2.
So (still based on Gurman's information) we won't see a new iMac model until 2023. The truth is that it is very strange that Apple does not renew a specific Mac model in almost three years, especially since the era of Apple Silicon began.
The truth is that you have to believe in the Mark Gurman leak, since the rumors that circulate about the next releases of Macs are for new models of MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, even Mac mini, but no sign of a possible new one. iMac. A bummer for me, and for many iMac users, too.
