Will there ever be a new large iMac (Pro)?

I'm still hopeful we will see a ~24" AS iMac alongside whatever portable(s) they release.
Or maybe english is not his first language so he doesn't know. How about that?
I know a lot of these but sometimes something pops up and I have to google it too. And yes, English is not my first language.

Kuo's report that day was all about MacBook releases and shipments. Kuo not discussing the 24" iMac isnt evidence he has changed his prediction for a Q4 iMac. If Kuo has changed his prediction for the iMac I'd have expected him to say so.Yep the last predictions are the updated MacBook Air and a 13 inch MacBook Pro without MiniLED, both under Apple Silicon. I think this is the last guess from Kuo.
Kuo: Apple Silicon Macs to Include 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air This Year, 14.1-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro Models Next Year
At last month's WWDC, Apple officially announced that its Mac computers will be transitioned from Intel x86 to homegrown Apple Silicon chips....www.macrumors.com
July 10.
What a joke. We were eagerly waiting for months chewing every bit of rumor, just for Apple to hint new iMacs on wwdc but still not give a specific release date. I mean, what’s the point in announcing new products and not letting your customers know when they will be available exactly? Especially if the new iMacs drop in this fall, so soon after the wwdc, I don’t see why we shouldn’t know about it already.
The image retention on my 2014 5k 27" is getting pretty horrendous... getting impatient >_<
Twitter lit up this morning about next week. If it really does happen next week then full kudos to @DrRadon who had this hunch a month ago.
If it doesn't happen next week then I do know for sure the War for Cybertron Trilogy will be out. Cant really lose next week.

One more week then I’m done waiting. It’ll be a used 2017 iMac Pro for me and no AS until the 2nd or 3rd generation.
Yup next week is it for me too. After that I’m either buying an iMac Pro or getting a super nice 32” 4K display from Ben-Q.
I decided to put any new Mac purchasing on hold when ARM was announced. My 6,1 Pro will do just fine for another 12 months when I hope there will be an ARM iMac to move across too.
you've held out this long, if not next week then maybe four weeks of August. How quickly can you find a used iMac Pro? Even I contemplated that as well.
AS - 2nd or 3rd generation is a better wait. All the armchair pundits are thinking this will be a hit but with anything tech the first generation always has issues and AS wont be any different.

Oh nice. gimme gimme.
To be fair, next week i had only dim hope. But at least it would be in the same ballpark still. <3
I suppose i said maybe "the week after 30 days after the keynote" because WWDC was on till friday.
I have to much hope again now. Q_Q
That makes sense to me. (There was also the law suit re: gpu failure on Macbook Pros? Was there a 'fight' over who payed for that?)
But the driver thing sounds like part of the reason why Apple wants to go 1st party on cpus/gpus.
Basically, after 2nd rate treatment at all levels and thus, the customers who buy their products, they've decided to take matters into their own hands and control their own destiny.
If Apple can make their own cpu and gpu like they make the gold standard of Os (aka MacOS?) then we're in for a real treat... (and a *real* Mac 'Mini.'

Intel allegedly preparing new 10th Gen Core KA-Series processors - VideoCardz.com
Intel is expanding its 10th Gen Core series with new processors. Mysterious Core i9 Intel KA-series Before going into details, it appears that all new 10th Gen core processors are listed as Core i9 series. We are not sure if this a mistake, but multiple stores have now listed the processors with...
videocardz.com
| i9-10850KA | 10C/20T | 3.6 GHz |
|---|
This processor from above link.
I thought this cpu would be tied to Sep 2nd's big Intel event. But this image from the link suggests overwise.
Whilst there are 65 watt cpus...they are 2.8 base clock 10 cores.
...and
| i9-10900K | 10C/20T | 3.7 GHz | 5.1 GHz | 5.2 GHz | 4.8 GHz | 5.3/4.9 GHz | 125W | $488 |
|---|
This at an eye melting 125w.
Perhaps the incoming 10 core is close to 95watts or less?
Something between the 65 and 125w options.
I'm not sure what the current iMac cpus are rated for.
But it seems something is holding up the new Intel iMac.
In short, this may be part of the reason for the hold up. A specic product or a custom iMac related cpu product for Apple.

You'll be fine with that. It will keep going and going. You're good for another 12 months on that.
There will be an iMac custome AS ARM product to move to. It will bury the current Mac desktops.

iMac Pros are 3.5k on eBay. Some below that.
As always, exhaustive looks through the retail channel and using any discounts can help drive the price down.
It's old. Apple shouldn't be charging £5k for it. Blooming cheek.

A 32k BenQ display can be had for £450-ish. A lot cheaper than an iMac Pro.
There are deals to be had on the iMac Pro (which will probably be 'aged' even more by the new Intel iMac...and have an increased price pressure on the iMac Pro both through dealers and 2nd hand on eBay.) as it's now 3 years old.

I never could be bothered to learn most of the acronyms.
I'm good with B.C and A.D.
Or 'T' for Tea.
Or A for Apple...
...and I know my alphabet...

I was getting a bit of that with my 24 inch iMac. Though I know this has been an iMac issue.
Haven't suffered with that on my 27 inch iMac. The screen has outlasted the gpu.

Plenty of iMac Pros on eBay with the usual caveats of doing background checks, doing research, looking at 100 of them to do comparisons of prices and specs and customer trust etc.

I came back to this thread after a while. Small recap: next week should be THE week?

These would have made 'great' Mac 'Minis.'
Beautiful designed which suffered Apple's incredulous boutique pricing. Around this kind of price? With modern specs?
Yes please. I'd take it.

According to that rumour *points above...*
'Could' be.
For those with 'dead' Macs, most welcome.
There is a potential Intel cpu release that may coincide with that. Again. Heat efficient cpus that can go into the iMac.
See Videocardz link.

Azrael, I know you like high res monitors, but 32k is a bit much...
It's essentially the same product in Intel Macs.
I'd expect the same with the move to AS14. Except they clock the desktop part higher.
They could release the MB13, Air, Mini, iMac24 all at the same time.
Same thing. Different form factors.
75% of the transition done. Consumer transition? Done.
They've got the cases done. Just waiting on Big Sur and the AS14.

Freudian slip.

[automerge]1595668953[/automerge]
Probably not wanting to kill current sales. Which wasn't an issue when they previewed the Mac Pro and iMac Pro.

The one song of their's that I like.
Alot of tech' convergence is happening in September.
Intel have an event. (That may be for their gpus...though. As new 'heat' appropriate cpus seem imminent...see Videocardz link...)
AMD Sep/Oct for RDNA2.
Nv' Aug/Sep/Oct for Ampere (They'll be watching AMD closely...and soaking those Nv fan boys for the 2080ti for as long as they can...)
PS5 Oct-
Back to the Mac Fall Event MB13/Air/iMac24/Mac Mini?
And I didn't mention the incoming iPhone12. I'm bored of iPhones.
I don't need another 'phone.' What do guys need a phone for anyway? We don't communicate, we don't call...we don't text...and we never send flowers...
£1k. Just an expensive tracking device.
Azrael.
