"Why volition it be chosen this? To better distinguish this device from the iMac 24," the leaker with an enviable 75% accuracy rating on AppleTrack tweeted. "This is a "Pro" device with a Pro Bit," he explained, noting that the 24-inch iMac matches the M1 MacBook Air, while the new iMac will mirror the larger MacBook Pros.

That'southward not to say that the iMac Pro branding is set in stone, however. "As a disclaimer though, the marketing squad can change gears very quickly," Dylanddkt wrote.

There'due south enough of other tidbits in Dylandkt's original tweet. No screen size was given, though the leaker did state that this will supervene upon the 27-inch iMac, and that display volition employ mini-LED tech, with Apple's ProMotion applied science for 120Hz refresh rates.

It will apparently feature a similar design to the 24-inch iMac and Pro Display XDR, though if Apple really is treating this as a Pro device, nosotros'd imagine the playful colors volition exist dropped. All Dylandkt has to say on that score is that it will feature "dark bezels". No give-and-take on whether or not there will be a notch, just information technology's claimed that Face ID has been tested (though "not confirmed").

Dylandkt also claims to accept intel on three new external displays from Apple tree, i being a 32-inch behemoth with custom silicon.

The Pro design continues to the ports included. The leaker claims that it will feature USB-C ports, an SD carte slot, an ethernet port on the power brick, and, for the first time, an HDMI port. "HDMI has never been in an iMac (As far as I know)," they wrote. "Then and so, why is it coming to this iMac? It has to do with brandish compatibility. Virtually Television set'south and external displays accept HDMI. Information technology's just a convenience factor."

Aslope the M1 Pro and M1 Max, the base model iMac Pro will manifestly feature 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage, with prices starting "at or over" $ii,000.

If the leaker is correct, this rumored iMac Pro would get in in the commencement half of 2022 — maybe in time to make an advent at the rumored March upshot? Nosotros shall have to wait and run across.
