Apple’s 27-inch iMac was one of the few Intel Macs (along with the iMac Pro) to be discontinued with no direct Apple Silicon replacement<\/a>. It used to be Apple’s mainstream workstation Mac, but in the Apple Silicon era, that role has been filled by the Mac mini<\/a> and Mac Studio<\/a>, instead. The 24-inch iMac, recently updated with a new M3 chip<\/a>, is a smaller machine focused more on casual day-to-day computing.<\/p>\n

Some 27-inch iMac users have been holding out for a true large-screened iMac replacement. But Apple threw cold water on those hopes in a statement given to the Verge (and later reiterated to Ars), where it said definitively that it was\u00a0not<\/em> working on an Apple Silicon version of the 27-inch iMac. Users of 27-inch Intel Macs should either move to the 24-inch iMac or to the M2 Pro Mac mini or the Mac Studio if they need more performance, according to Apple.<\/p>\n

Eternal optimists still holding out hope for a new large-screened iMac might note that Apple specifically mentioned the 27-inch iMac, which doesn’t necessarily preclude the possibility of an even-larger iMac in the 30-something-inch range. But given Apple’s usual aversion to discussing its future plans, an explicit denial does hit differently than a total lack of comment or a boilerplate “Apple doesn’t comment on future plans.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
