When Will the ProMotion Display iMac Be Released?
Trusted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts an iMac Pro in 2023:
ProMotion Display iMac Price Rumors
This iMac will be an update to the 27-inch Retina 5K display iMac, which had a base price of $1,799. The other two models have more storage, and the priciest of the bunch, at launch, was $2,299. One rumor, according to Apple analyst @dylandkt on Twitter, is the starting price for the ProMotion display iMac will be at or just over $2,000. But it would also make sense, given the Mini-LED component, for the starting price to be much higher, such as $3,000 as estimated by ZONEofTECH’s Daniel.
Pre-Order Information
You’ll be able to pre-order the iMac Pro (we’re not sure about the name yet) on Apple’s website. Pre-ordering will start sometime after the unveiling event.
ProMotion Display iMac Features
The major news here is the iMac will have ProMotion tech. First introduced in the iPad Pro in 2017, and then in later products like the 2021 iPad Pro and 2021 MacBook Pro, here’s how Apple describes it: And this is what we hear from Young, that the 2022/2023 iMac will have a variable refresh rate of 24Hz–120Hz and mini-LED backlighting. If you’re not familiar, a dynamic refresh rate means that the display refresh rate can seamlessly change on the fly, allowing for better power management and smoother display motion.
ProMotion Display iMac Specs & Hardware
We’ve heard that this iMac could have the option between M3 Pro and M3 Max chips. If so, it makes more sense we won’t see the computer until 2023. It could feature slim, black bezels. 3D artist Ian Zelbo shows off several concepts for how this iMac could look. Color options will probably vary depending on how Apple presents the iMac. If it’s simply an upgraded version of the 24-inch iMac, we’ll see similar colors. However, if it’s called the iMac Pro, we’ll probably see “Pro-level” colors, like gray and silver. We could also see Face ID, according to Mark Gurman, who suggests that this authentication tech will arrive in the second-gen iMac: Little else is known just yet about specs, so below are expected specs based on the current 27-inch and 24-inch iMacs:
