Hoping that we are a 27" screen with no Mac in it as well.
Got a tip for us?

Apple's Next iMac Pro: Everything We Know

for the same people who "needed" legacy ports back on the new MBPs ... and if it is there and continues to be on the back, stupid design
No one is calling it the iMac Pro except clickbait YouTubers and rumor sites. The current 5k iMac is not called the pro. The iMac Pro cost 4999 and was discontinued

They won’t! Especially if it’s carrying a Mini-LED display? Yeah, the price will skyrocket. The display panel isn’t cheap.
Who can guess what this is?

I hope they bring back the black keyboard and mouse options
Am I the only one who doesn’t like the design for the foot ?

My iMac only has 512GB but is hooked up to a 16TB RAID. So it doesn’t bother me.
The notch idea seems plausible.
But 27", or only 27", seems off.
Why would=n't an iMac Pro match the Apple XDR display? At least in dimensions.
I'd be pretty excited about M1 Pro/Max and 27" w/ 120 Hz ... but seems logical that they'd offer 17" & 32", they do already produce the larger size.

When I unboxed my IMP, I thought that it really should be bigger. 30", maybe even 32". I hope they fix that with this new version.
32 inch!!! 32 inch!!!
GO BIG OR GO HOME!!!

That looks more like an external monitor, but if they do a 32" chassis, they would likely have enough room to put all of the active stuff in the center of the back of the chassis/enclosure, and would then not have to have a chin at all. It seems to me completely possible that there actually could be a killer IMP with no chin.
The former iMac Pro was just a holdover for the Mac Pro.
Intel stopped production of the Xeon chips that the iMac Pro used. There were replacement models available, but with Apple planning to move away from Intel, I expect they saw no reason to refresh the Intel iMac Pro with new chips and just discontinue it.
The current iMac 5Ks come with 512GB as do the new Apple Silicon MacBook Pros so offering 512GB to start for the Apple Silicon iMac Pro sounds reasonable to me - especially if the goal is to keep the base price between $1999 and $2299. And at least you get 16GB now, instead of the 8GB of the Intel models.
I wonder if the thermal system can handle the equivalent of two M1 MAX...
I don't believe they plan to. There were the rumors of a "Lifuka" Apple Silicon GPU, but I honestly believe that was a reference to the 16 and 32 GPU cores in the M1 Pro and M1 Max and not intended to be a discrete GPU.
Not sure the DRAM Apple Silicon uses is even available in ECC.
Agreed. I am ready for a new Apple Thunderbolt Display, even if they want $1499 for it.
They are just duplicating what is offered on the new 2021 MBPs only adapted towards the old 27" form factor.
The 24" is a great replacement of the older 21" iMac, the 27" is just a guess. The display could be 2-3 " bigger in a similar size form, but its more likely to resemble the 24" form factor only notably larger and deeper with the chin.
I would doubt they would do that. Possibly the only way would be to rig a way to turn off the SOC GPU, and have a slot for adding one in the system or an expansion port. It would seem to be a high reach, but who knows...
You are very funny. Yeah in good conscience, from the company who was selling premium price iMacs with a hard drive years after everybody switched.
Wasn't the iMac Pro space gray with Xeon processors and something like $4-$5K. This will be that machines replacement, targeting pro's not the normal customer which is purpose of the colorful iMacs.
Bring on the space grey keyboard! Especially if it feels as nice as the 14” to type on!!
I agree. I could be interested in an iMac but I have been using an external 28" monitor for a few years and I am not going smaller, only larger.
That would completely defeat the point and advantages of the Unified Memory. Even the concept of Jade with 2x or 4x chips will not work with unified memory unless they are on the same silicon or you were stacking massive amounts of RAM and wasting time transferring data from one CPU to another.
Display on this iMac Pro could be even better than Pro Display XDR. MacBook Pro is using a Sharp IGZO display, which performs better than LG Display on the Pro Display XDR and iPad Pro.
Also finger-crossed for a Pro Display XDR refresh, or a cost-down model.
