The big remaining question is which processors these new Macs will run on. Those three models are likely to be the first 15-inch MacBook Air (codenamed J515), the first Mac Pro with homegrown Apple chips (J180) and an update to the 13-inch MacBook Air (J513). Still, this is a great development for anyone disappointed that Apple's all-in-one desktop hasn't been updated in nearly two years.Īside from the iMac, Apple is scheduled to launch about three new Macs between late spring and summer, I'm told.

That means it won't ship until the second half of the year at the earliest. While development of the new iMacs - codenamed J433 and J434 - has reached a late stage, it's not expected to go into mass production for at least three months. The computer will see some of its internal components relocated and redesigned, and the manufacturing process for attaching the iMac's stand is different. There also will be some behind-the-scenes changes. The new iMacs will, of course, be more powerful - with a new M-series chip to replace the M1. The versions being tested also come in the same colors as the current iMac, a palette that includes blue, silver, pink and orange. The next iMac will continue to come in the same 24-inch screen size as the current model, which was announced in April 2021. From the report: Apple's next iMac desktop is at an advanced stage of development called engineering validation testing, or EVT, and the company is conducting production tests of the machine. According to a report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is readying a new batch of Macs to launch "between late spring and summer." This includes a 15-inch MacBook Air and a new 24-inch iMac.
