Well there new desktop chips outclass the M1 chips including Max, so if Apple keep the M1 chips as they are in the laptops and puts them in its Pro iMac and Mac Pro, then I suspect Intel will de smiling gleefully. Only problem with Intels new chips is you need a power station in your back garden to run them and turn all your heating off, cause the computer will heat your home up. But apart from that they are good.I wonder how Intel is celebrating this anniversary?
The new big iMac will most likely have a chin and not likely be more than 29-30 ins. The vocal minority will howl in derision.
Then the redesigned MacBook Air will have white bezels and be available in multiple hues. The vocal minority will again lament in excess.
In both cases the “naysayers” will also descend to tell us how brainwashed and easily duped we are and that the new machines are essentially crap.
And it won’t matter how impressive the features and performance will be.
The current iMac design will be locked in for several years to come. Constantly repeating “I hope for a chinless iMac” is an exercise in wishful thinking if you say it often enough it will happen.Hope the bigger iMacs or later generations of the 24 are chinless and not trying to make them as thin as possible.
Sort of, Apple‘s first actual full in-house CPU was the A6 in The iPhone 5, both the A4 and A5 chips were just slightly modified CPUs from Samsung.
The A6 was the first time that Apple designed everything to their own custom liking
Whatever comes out, comes out, obviously will have to live with it but it's a free world to express dislike. But one can hope.The current iMac design will be locked in for several years to come. Constantly repeating “I hope for a chinless iMac” is an exercise in wishful thinking if you say it often enough it will happen.
Given all indications it won’t happen. Best to make peace with it and focus on the new device’s features and capabilities.
I do find it ironic though that it's been a year and I will be going to an Apple store I hope this weekend to see the new iMac, MacBook Pro's iPads even the Mac Pro for the first time. Will be seriously thinking if I'll be upgrading to one...
And still no 27" iMac, though it should really be 30" without the ridiculously huge bezels of the current 27".
The new MacBook Pro's are incredible. The keyboards, especially, IMHO...even better than Magic Keyboard 2 on the M1 MacBook Pro/Air.
I think we'll see the new iMac at WWDC.
30" ProMotion, miniLED Display, optional anti-glare coating
Much smaller bezels/no notch. Chin same size as it is now.
50% thicker than the current iMac.
M1 Max/Ultra(Max x2)
Starting at $2499
They will also debut the Mac mini "pro" with M1 Pro/Max starting at $999
Not a problem. I already got rid of the few 32-bit apps I had. Just recently deleted the Windows VM that I had not used in over a year. Almost all app I use now are already AS native. No real workarounds needed.Maybe but they do lack support for older programmes, you have to find workarounds for some things. It's a lot to think off when your spending that much money.

Yes, I would expect a Mini Pro with M1 Pro to start between $1500 and $1700. Less than the MBP 14” but not so much cheaper that the MBP looks like a bad deal.Ideas here are generally good, but your guesses at prices make it look like you don't know Apple. Profit margin comes first.
I think "starting at..." targets MIGHT fit but not those specs. Starting at is the weakling (under-specced) model to get them a low price to show in all of the "big reveal" press coverage. Then you BTO it to get the specs you actually want and it can be 1.5X-3X more than that.
My guess is that a Mac Mini PRO/MAX config is going to be priced oddly high so as to not discourage the old "so why wouldn't I just pay the "little more" and get the iMac PRO/MAX equivalent and also get the screen?"
My guess is that bigger iMac won't wait until a June reveal. I bet they have it all pinned down now but did not roll it out due to chip constraints. I very much would bet on a Spring event for updated MB Air and bigger iMac. If anything at WWDC, I bet they show prototype Mac Pro M2 that doesn't actually launch until the Fall. I bet that's also where they roll out the DUO/QUAD concept with maybe some kind of "Grand Central Extreme" spin to get developers thinking about coding for that kind of platform too.
But, that shared, I'll hope right with you. Bargain Mac Mini MAX is immediate buy.
I have bought MBP 14” for display and have bigger monitor.I see.im wondering whether the upgrade is worth it ,or that in order to justify the purchase ,I should get the 16" instead .I can't for the life of me make a choice man
Highly likely to be well on track. Considering the rumours are for it to more or less simply have the M1 Max 10/32 chip in 2x and 4x configs, giving it 20/64 and 40/128 cores. Presumably the only other major complication will be plug in off-SOC extra RAM to add to the max 256GB on-SOC, but I'm sure that option is already in the M1 Max design. The bottleneck is probably more manufacturing capacity than design.So the Mac Pro Pro Max Plus needs to be out by this time next year for them to stick to their 2-year timeline.
Is there anything else still needing an M1 update? The big/pro iMac maybe?
Well if the rumours are correct, then we already know it will be a 4x M1 Max 40/128 core machine w up to 256GB/32T SOC, presumably w off-SOC plug-in RAM options.I’m just eager to see how far they can take it when the new Mac Pro with Apple Silicon comes out. Going to be an absolute monster of a computer.
People are not underestimating them. Even PC centric channels are covering them. If you talk about Intel maybe right, but not really for other people.Apple Silicon is the single most underestimated breakthrough Apple has done. The potential computing these chips are unlocking is mind blowing.
RIP the best 32-bit Mac game, Halo. I still keep the app in my Applications folder to this day, to remember the good times.Not a problem. I already got rid of the few 32-bit apps I had. Just recently deleted the Windows VM that I had not used in over a year. Almost all app I use now are already AS native. No real workarounds needed.
And a notch please. Ha, just kiddingAside from the internals, the two biggest changes I'd like to see for my next iMac are:
Honestly, the chin in the current iMac doesn't bother me a bit — I like the Apple logo.
- Height adjustability: It's crazy to expect the user to adjust their position to get the right alignment.
- Thinner bezels/larger active display.
