Apple has quashed hopes of a larger27-inch iMacwith Apple Silicon processors to replace the last Intel-based model that dropped off the map last year.

While Apple revealed a newM3-based 24-inch iMacduring itsScary Fast event a week ago, there are no plans to replenish the larger model.

Save big with this iPhone 15 Pro Black Friday deal. MobilePhonesDirect is currently offering the iPhone 15 Pro with unlimited O2 data for just £39 upfront and £55/month with this 24-month contract.

That comes from the horse’s mouth itself, with an Apple representative tellingThe Vergethere’ll be no 27-inch model.

While it’s rare for the company to reveal future product plans, here it seems to be designed to inform the user base that there’s no need to hold out for a 27-inch iMac.

If users want a larger display then they could grab the expensive 27-inchStudio Displayand pair it with the Mac mini orMac Studio. It’s not the all-in-one solution many would prefer, but it’s something.

As the 24-inch display has a 4.5K resolution it does offer a great screen experience, but it doesn’t quite cut the mustard for pro users in terms of the power.

Apple is only offering the 24-inch iMac with the standard M3 processor, rather than theM3 Pro or M3 Maxchips that sit within the MacBook Pro.

For a while now there have been rumours of an iMac Pro that would pack more powerful processors, for more intense creative tasks.

It does feel that Apple may be missing a trick by not offering users screen size options, as it does with the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models.

However, as The Verge points out in his report, it does potentially leave room for Apple to go even larger with a potential iMac Pro.
