A M1 iMac 27 would be half cycle old for M1-M1pro/max
.
Hope macs get same cycle or at least, to be closer. M1 would be out there for 18 months when the imac 27 will be released

I'm in the process of having to decide if keeping my M1 Max 16" and get a 27" Mini-Led display (with the risk of not being released in the first half of 2022) or getting a refund and wait for april (may if we consider the shipping) to get an imac 27" (possibly being considerably more expensive than the macbook)...
Also, I have lots of work lined up and my Mini M1 is now unusable...
4 months is more time than you'd think...

Instant buy for me. Love that the rumors are heating up about the Apple Silicon 27" iMac replacement. I have been waiting for this!
You did the right thing!
Investing in 2021 on Intel wouldn't have been a pretty inefficient choice.
With the 24" you got yourself a pretty nive computer with the new technology and you spent relatively little money.
Not sure whether or not to be disappointed that Apple apparently won't have a 30"+ iMac, or relieved.
If the new 27" iMac is actually 27" then that means the 24" will be pretty darn attractive since it's bound to be a bunch less expensive and not that much smaller.
Especially if they start offering a matching monitor - now THAT will be great and I'd probably get the 24" iMac plus a matching monitor.
OK, I'm ready. Can we place our orders now?

Like someone said before. It’s an all-in-one pro computer. Space on the desk is big factor. Not everybody wants a plasma television on their desk. It’s a tool for work that’s all.
Don’t think so, likely to be 30”, so it won’t crash with the 32” XDR display they selling.
ONLY if it suits your needs and ALL your current and near term apps are fully coded and supported for Apple Silicon.
I think @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 was referring to BeatsFitPro's and similar products that faced limited single country or regional releases or limited production runs due to chip shortages.
Very excited to see this one. Hopefully it will have colours similar to 24" iMac
Apple releases 27in. iMac = “It’s only 27 ins! Thats not a Pro—it’s too small!”
Apple releases 30-32in. iMac = “What?? Thats waay too expensive! What is Apple thinking?”
Just watch.

Hopefully it doesn't have the chin (heat sink) Many companies have put the heat sink in the base like HP
I mean, it’s totally possible I just have weird taste in monitor size. That said, do we have any sales numbers on 32” monitors versus 27” and 24” sizes? I know those curved ultra-wide ones fall in that range, but those are a very different product category. I can see a regular 16:9 32” inch display being fantastic for specific types of media professionals, but still relatively niche relative to 27”.
If they *do* make the screens on the new iMacs bigger, I personally think it’d be great to see an 16:10 aspect ratio like the old 30” Apple Cinema Displays. I loved that ratio on my old 2009 24” iMac and missed it when I got my 27”. A 5120 x 3200 panel would be something really special, I don’t think there’d be another desktop-size 16:10 HIDPI display on the market!
HP Pavilion AIO computers have a chin. 99% certainty the new big iMac will have a chin. All the incessant chanting for a 30-32in. display, and without chin, is prayer-like wishful thinking aloud.
How is a 32” 4K display preferable to a 27” 5K display?
Bought the 24" iMac 6 mos ago and it does everything great except...! Kept the 2020 27" Intel 5K cause after 4 years of 5K iMacs - that screen - nothing compares - Will buy the 27" M1 Pro iMac on Day one - with the 5K on trade. Fingers crossed that screen delivers.
A 27 over a 24 display will give you something like 25-30% more screen area. Thats not insignificant.
