I’m driving a 2008 Mac Pro, 2 flat tires & a very loud fan belt. You want me to walk?!
Do these iMacs suddenly stop working the minute an ARM iMac is released, or something?
no they won't stop working however the time will come when they are not supported ... plus the majority of apps will be coming from the App Store so you can bet that many apps will only work on ARM. Also, the ARM cpu's will be more energy efficient and possibly 'noiseless'...just my two cents
Please, stop calling it ARM, people! Apple isn’t moving to ARM processors! The only relationship between Apple Silicon SoC and ARM is that Apple purchased an ISA license from ARM so that they can use ARM’s Instruction Set Architecture, that’s all. If Apple chose to use the Java Virtual Machine Instruction Set you wouldn’t be calling them Java Macs or Java Processors would you?

Go look at the tech specs on Apple's product page. The answer awaits you.
I have a 21.5 late 2015 iMac and am debating whether I should upgrade now or wait until they hopefully release something new later this year or early next year? Regrettably I have a stupid fusion drive (it was available on the spot as my previous computer died) and non upgradeable 16gb ram. It is painfully slow most times. I was hoping I wouldn't have been put in this predicament of having to choose or wait. I am okay with a smaller than 27 inch screen btw. I'm a designer and use my iMac for work.
You can get 128GB (4x32GB) of DDR4-2666 for under $600...I've been doing it for customers on the 2019 model since they came out.

Make room in your laptop bag or desk drawer. When you have only one port type, you need adapters to be able to use your gear.

My guess is a new iMac will come next developer conference of spring of next year !!
The first ARM chip mac's rumoured will be laptops by end of year and don't forget you can hook these up to an external monitor

watch this video....
I still think Apple might surprise us with a 24-inch Apple Silicon iMac this year based on all the rumors and reports.
I believe only the low-end 13-inch MacBook Pro is still on 8th Generation. Intel has formally announced the End of Life for almost all 8th Generation CPUs so that is why this model is rumored to be one of the first to move to Apple Silicon.
I disagree. I want as bad webcam quality as possible.
I don't look good.

So, show us a picture of your Dell desktop PC?
I prefer big bezels since it clearly separates the content from the surrounding. I really dislike super thin bezels.
Too little, too late. I do miss Mac OS, but the value proposition for those who don’t have cash to burn is not there.
For the same price as an upgraded iMac, I went with an AMD threadripper with 24 cores that don’t throttle and 2 4k monitors. I laugh at the 10 core “upgrade” they got with Intel.
$2600 for 128 GB ram is ridiculous. I can get 256 GB for less than half that.
The thing I really do like is the display. I can’t really find a better looking display. I just couldn’t stand it that it is tied to the computer and can’t use it anywhere else, even with other Mac products.

Interesting, so today the 27” iMac gets its final Intel update, while the 21.5” stays untouched. I’m assuming (using rumors as guidance) in Q4/Q1 the 21.5” will be upgraded to a redesigned 23” ARM model, then at some point (presumably later next year) the 27” will be replaced with a 29-32” redesigned ARM model.
Interesting. You feel the same way with phones and tv’s? Thinner the better for me
I don’t mind the lack of a redesign and I wasn’t expecting it (of course Apple is saving the new design for the new chips), my only frustration is with the single Thunderbolt 3 card. Two ports is tough — even though I have a TB3 dock — especially when every other Mac except the MBA has four.
I'm itching to place an order but I’ll wait for the thermals tests. I was all set to buy a 16” fully loaded machine with the 5600m, but since I’ll be WFH for a minimum of six more months, the iMac is $1000 less and may be a better choice (plus, I can trade in my old 2017 5K iMac for about a third of what I paid for it or try to sell it for more locally).
I run VMs and containers all day and also stream a ton for work, so this looks like an ideal setup. I'm happy to get an AS laptop at some point next year but until I feel confident that Docker isn’t going to run like absolute trash (and I’m not at all convinced) and as long as I need to use OBS, I feel pretty tied to x86.

My monitor I’ve had for a few years now has a very slim bezel and it’s great for me. It’s also not on a fixed mount so it’s free standing and movable so there is no set background wall. Does not improve user experience according to who? so if I say I love it does that mean I’m wrong for saying it because you think thick bezels are better for computer use? I wouldn’t ever go back to a thicker bezel monitor now after having this one.
