It looks likely that we won't see an M2 iMac. Meanwhile, Apple has started to roll out some more powerful options in the higher end M1 chips and new M2 chips. There could be a number of reasons to upgrade (need more power, want new RAM/screen size/ storage, etc) or reasons to keep the current machine (like footprint, good performance, etc).

Curious as to what folks are thinking
 
The iMac screen is the best screen ever in a Mac, IMO. I think it’s better than the M1 MBPs and yes I have a 14” so I can see both side by side. The M1 iMac is nearly silent, runs cool, uses minimal electricity, has no corporate logo on the front, and is a single piece of glass on the entire front so can easily be wiped down with a damp cloth.
 
I'm fine with waiting for an M3 iMac, I just hope they keep the same awesome colors they have right now! I really wanted an orange model when they first came out, but I can't live with 16 GB of RAM (or less) these days.
