But really bright LED backlights of 1,000 nits or more generate a lot of heat. I've seen some scattered moaning about 'fewer zones' for the backlight, since that means less granular control over local dimming in HDR and therefore a potentially worse experience. When will the new iMac be announced?Īpple's first event of the year passed without a new 27-inch iMac, and Young thinks the iMac's announcement will be bumped from his initial estimate of early this year to debut sometime between June and August, since he doesn't see panels for it shipping before June. If there are any new or unique capabilities that Apple's planning to add with the annual operating system update, software developers need to be the first to know. While we don't know many specifics, my guess is a new model of the 27-inch iMac (or whatever Apple decides to call it) will be announced at the annual Apple Worldwide Developers Conference this year, which usually happens in early June. That is, according to usually spot-on display expert Ross Young. Though, the next 27-inch iMac may be the Mac Studio Display Pro, instead. And considering the two-year deadline Apple set to switch from using third-party processors to its own Silicon chips, it's a safe bet we'll see some Apple M versions in 2022. The 27-inch iMac and Mac Pro are the last Macs that still run Intel. In fact, Apple seems to have discontinued the iMac after the event, meaning you can no longer buy the current 27-inch iMac. These new products offer upgrades to Apple's Mac line but, we didn't get a 27-inch iMac. The Mac Studio is a standalone computer that's more compact than the Mac Pro and packs more power than the Mac Mini, while the Studio Display is the computer's designated monitor.

Apple hosted its 'Peek Performance' event on Tuesday, and unveiled the Mac Studio and Studio Display.
