Apple may no longer bet on the big screen due to processors becoming obsolete

Which was the best iMac? We can say that the 2017 iMac Pro is.It is no longer renewed. This powerful Mac featured a 5120 x 2880 5K retina display. We’re sure this is the best display on a desktop computer and we’ll never see it again.. The last 27-inch iMac Apple released in 2020 was almost on the verge of introducing Apple Silicon.

The downside was that it came with an Intel processor and its price was around $5,000.. Today, the Mac mini M4 surpasses it by far, beyond its price. Although it is a great device due to its screen, it is true that this factor does not wear out as quickly as the processors. Users who have this iMac today may not look for another computer, they will not find a similar one because its screen is at a different level..

This was apparently a single, simple bet on the 27-inch iMac; This was a bet they were no longer willing to make because it’s not viable to launch a large display on a processor that will be outdated in a few years.

Today you can combine a 27-inch iMac with a Mac mini and Apple Studio Display

Fact is that If you buy the new Mac mini today with an M4 or M4 Pro and a matching monitor or display, you can pair it with a 27-inch (or larger) iMac.. The comparable display to this 27-inch iMac would be the 27-inch Apple Studio Display. Considering that the screen costs 1,779 euros with standard glass and the Mac mini costs 719 euros, this figure is almost half the price.

Apple Studio Display has many surprises

All you need but can buy or have at home is a keyboard and mouse or trackpad. Such combinations and/or alternatives are another compelling reason why Apple no longer dares to launch the 27-inch iMac.. Let’s not talk about whether it is a pro or a simple model. As sizes increase, technology tends to become expensive; We’re talking about tests with the iPhone Pro Max, 13-inch iPad Pro or 16-inch MacBook Pro.

Apple admitted that it would not release an iMac larger than 24 inches again in 2023.

But in November 2023, Apple released a new iMac with an M3 chip, and many users also wondered why the Cupertinos did not release a larger size.Over 24 inches. It didn’t take long to get an almost official response. The Verge confirmed what happened with a statement from an Apple PR representative.

Apple encouraged users who want a 27-inch iMac to purchase an Apple Studio Display along with the Mac Studio or Mac mini. If we put ourselves in the shoes of the critics, we see that the 27-inch iMac has always been associated with a more professional audience, and at that time Apple released the only iMac Pro in history. The latest generation iMac was recently available with the M1, M3 or M4 entry chip.

This new Apple device weighs only 670 grams (model with M4 chip)

There was only a small glimmer of hope left: at the time Mark Gurman stated that Apple was planning a 32-inch iMac with one of its most powerful chips in mid-2023. Three generations after the iMac with Apple Silicon, everything seems to indicate that the size will not change.

Probably Users waiting for the 27-inch iMac with Apple Silicon are seriously considering purchasing the Apple Studio Display or another monitor that is comparable in features to a computer like a Mac mini or a laptop like a MacBook Pro. What would you do if you had to choose? Between waiting for a new 27-inch iMac or creating a hybrid between the Apple Studio Display and the Mac mini?
