I love my 2021 M1 iMac (8 core). It's almost 2 years old now, though, so I would want a bigger price cut to buy one now.

Not sure of experience of others here, but every time I get an iMac, the damn thing lasts for 7-9 years. Best apple bang for my apple buck.

It's only a matter of time, the question is, will the 27" show its face or will they make the same mistake?

I hope they release updated 24” iMacs like the 2023 Mac Mini, that you can buy one with a M2 Pro and 32 GB RAM if needed. A larger iMac would be most welcome.

I doubt it, but I do think that there is a space between the $1999 M1max Studio and the $3999 M1ultra Studio where a $2999 27 inch iMac with M2pro could fit.
