Apple is preparing new iMac models with an improved chip and new color options, according to BloombergIt’s Mark Gurman.
In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman says the new version will likely be an updated 24-inch model with an M6 chip, replacing the existing M4 model arriving in October 2024.
New colors are also said to be on the menu, although Gurman doesn’t specify what they are. The current iMac comes in seven colors, including green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue and silver.
Otherwise, no major design changes are expected. Apple is reportedly developing a 24-inch iMac with an OLED display, but that won’t happen for several years.
“All signs point to the M6 models being close to launch,” says Gurman, with the new models expected to arrive before the end of the year.
