Rumored 30-Inch iMac From Apple: Everything You Need To Know
According to reports, Apple, headquartered in Cupertino, is planning to create a new iMac that will feature a display of more than 30 inches. Currently, the iMac is only offered in a 24-inch size, as Apple has phased out the Intel-based 27-inch iMac and iMac Pro in recent years.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company is initially working on an iMac with a screen larger than 30 inches. However, the 30-inch iMac may take a long time to boot. MacRumors reported that he did not provide any further details at this time.
MacRumors also reports that despite occasional rumors of the return of the iMac Pro, there is still no larger iMac available with Apple’s silicon.
According to the report, Gurman expects the 24-inch iMac to be upgraded to an as-yet-unannounced M3 chip 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, which will significantly improve performance and efficiency.
According to Gurman, Apple has a larger iMac in its product pipeline, along with several other upcoming devices. In addition, Gurman predicts that the second-generation Apple Watch Ultra will be released later this year, indicating that the high-end smartwatch may follow an annual update cycle like other Apple Watch models.
The company is said to be developing a next-generation display technology called microLED that will come to the Apple Watch Ultra in 2025. The current Apple Watch Ultra uses standard OLED technology, but microLED offers many of OLED’s benefits and some improvements.
MicroLED displays have brighter, more vivid colors and look like content is “painted on top of the glass,” MacRumors reports.
The Apple Watch’s microLED display is expected to have a 2.1-inch diagonal, but other features are not yet known. The Cupertino-based technology giant is already testing microLED screens for the Apple Watch and other devices.
