Just canceled my iMac 27" Order.....

I reckon there will be more than a few people out there who will rush to get the last-gen intel Macs just to be able to run Windows via bootcamp, before the switch to ARM. I think there are a significant number of people out there who depend on that capability.

I was hesitant on getting the intel iMac knowing the introduction of the new ARM CPU. I still placed the order last week but today I decided to cancel it and wait! My current iMac is a late 2013 21.5 loaded. As you can see like most of us we keep our machines for years. I have had mine almost 7 years and not one issue. I would've hated to get the new 27" with the intel only for apple to cut support in 3-5 years!
Now the waiting begins!

Good thing that you did. Apple updated your iMac with the last Intel iMac last August.

Now, if you want to get the first Apple Silicon iMac then wait for March 2021.

If you want a redesigned body then it will occur some time in 2022.

Personally, wish I accepted an offer for my 2012 iMac 27" or MBA last month at ~$700.
