I get it, he’s pushing his newsletter and brand.
But ironically, earlier in his career when Gurman said less, more people listened.

Would be really nice if they found a way to make them lighter and/or not clamp the hell out of your head like a vice.
At the very end of the article (which seems to be a recap of a bunch of recent stories that are Apple related) it does mention "at least one new Mac this spring" (not iMac specifically). It gives the link to his previous 1/23 newsletter which was reported here on MacRumors at the time. You're right, it doesn't say 'iMac' specifically though.
In any event this is not really anything new, as several of us have also pointed out.
Gurman's 1/23 newsletter:
Apple Nears First Product Launch of 2022, With 5G iPhone SE and New iPad on Tap
Apple Inc. is nearing its first launch event of the year, with a new iPhone SE and iPad on tap. Also: The company takes another hit to its App Store business model, and the autonomous car team loses another top manager.

One small detail from Gurman's latest newsletter - at the very end of the page, under 'Post Game Q&A', one of the three questions listed is this one: "Will the next iMac be an update to the current size or be a larger model?".
I wonder if that means that it is not certain that the new 27" iMac replacement will be the same size? Most of the recent reports have omitted any suggestion that a larger iMac could be coming out, but is he trying to hint that it may actually be possible??

Its been discussed previously that many think the 27" form size is more then large enough but the wasted space around where the LCD display was, allows a bigger display approaching 29.5" like with the 2021 MBP design. The event I still think will be end of April to make it approximately 6 month transition Mac product release intervals.
Likely the MacOS 12.3 dev cycle started this week will concluded of end of April (like how 11.3 was last year on par with new hardware). Before WWDC should see a MacOS 12.4 start when 12.3 is released, and conclude late May to correct issues caused by 12.4 before WWDC. They even had a 11.5 last year that concluded July 15th, then Monterey started to PB testers by then.
Yes History kinda repeating itself.

That wouldn't bother me a bit. Keep the trendy colors for the consumer products.
You do realize that’s just shoddy rendered illustration art for the article photo, right? Of course Apple would make adjustments where necessary if the dimensions called for a larger iMac.
pita going to drain battery life like an animal. Smaller buds for AirPods Pro with Wi-Fi for loss
ess audio codec and bitrate?! AirPod Pro’s can barely get a full 4hrs with ANC ON over Bluetooth. Think bout it.
I look forward to it but I’ll not be the first, and happy to wait 3-6 months
Just the front side we need to know the backside specifically the ports whether or not that TB4/USB-C 4 is shared amongst more than one port or EACH port gets the full band with which is critical!
Poor timing. My 27” iiyama monitor blew up this morning. Do I hang out for a 27” iMac and bin my MBA or buy another monitor now? Grr. Will suffer either way.
24" has (2) TB3/USB4 ports with 2 addition UBC-C (10Gbps) ports, the 2021 MBP have (3) TB4/USB4 ports + the SD reader slot and HDMI 2.0 port. So wouldn't (3) TB4/USB4 ports be sufficient with say a couple of UBC-C (10Gbps) ports on the larger iMac?
Unless you have Next workstation blood in your system I doubt both would be very dark.
That almost sounds like "Al Gore invented the Internet".
You could grab a 2021 MBP and use a external display. Everything that is thought to be added to the 27" iMac stems from its specs.
Problem is the 27 display I have is a mid range 4k IPS one. I was hoping for a nice 5k iMac. If I buy an MBP I’m taking a step backwards again. It’s the screen I need not the horsepower. A 16gb / 512gb 27” is all I need.
He’s still around. I think he realized that he was taking a lot of criticism for ‘overflowing predictions’ that were starting to kind of get borderline ludicrous, even though some of them actually had accuracy to it. Just not complete accuracies.
I had a 2015 4Ghz i7 iMac die last April, hoping for a M1 27" iMac at the time. Went with the 24" a bit smaller in May but its quite tolerable. Now we are almost to Feb 2022 and its not until mid April that you would see the larger 27"+ iMac which will be more expensive. Yeah if its M1 Pro 16GB/512 GB we can all kind guess what it will cost. The 2020 intel 27" iMac is only for people that need it to be intel based it seems. Best of luck with your decision.

The ‘number’ of TB/USB4 ports is not the concern I have … think like the 4xTB3 ports on the 2016-2018 MBP where only 1 controller for 2xTB3 ports: this means 1 connected TB cable/device on 1 side of the MBP each (of these models) gave you the full 40Gbps bandwith. However if you connected a 3rd & 4th TB3 cable the bandwidth of all for ports dropped to 20Gbps/port.
I want 1 full TB4/USB4 controller / per / port!
Good advice
I did exactly that.
noun
I don't see how the original quote "the dude is literally Nostradamus." is harsh, bitter derision, or irony. It's also not a taunt or a cutting remark. If anything, it was meant in a complimentary manner.
- harsh or bitter derision or irony.
- a sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cutting remark
The word "literally" is misused virtually everywhere these days... I'll leave it at that.
If I changed it to “the dude is literally someone who has been dead for 500 years” change your perspective?

The artificial lungs will probably keep you alive long enough for the unboxing video... and probably cost less too.
