It’s been a couple of years since Apple started upgrading the iMac lineup with Apple Silicon chips, but the company has managed to only update the 24-inch models.
Now, the Cupertino-based technology giant is coming up with a new model of the Apple iMac, powered by the all-new Apple M3 chipset, which is yet to be launched by the company.
According to the report from Mark Gurman in the Power On newsletter, the next-generation Apple iMacs, carrying codenames J433 and J434, are in the advanced stage of engineering validation testing (EVT), and the company is currently running production tests.
Unfortunately, it appears that the technology giant is only working on the 24-inch model of the iMac and that’s the only version that will be made official in the coming months.
The report adds that the upcoming iMac is being tested for the same set of colors as the previously launched M1 iMac, which includes Silver, Blue, Pink, and Orange. There’s a possibility that the company could also add Yellow, Green, and Purple color options.
The product is expected to enter mass production after three months, which means that the device could be officially launched in the second half of this year. We also expect to learn more about the M3 chipset at the WWDC later this year.
Apple started the process of transitioning its devices from Intel processors to its own Apple Silicon chips and while iMac started the move in 2021 with the M1-powered 24-inch iMac, the company is yet to upgrade the 27-inch iMac with the M-series chips.
