The successor to the m1 imac 24 inch the m2 imac 24 inch model is in development according to a new
report we have also been advised that we could be also be getting 10 cores added to the m2 chipset
that will make the new 2022 imac around 40 faster than the m1 model i want to go over specs design
so really everything we know so far for the new imac m2 and of course i also want to go over the
imac 2022 release date and price as well but first a quick summary of where we are with the imac
so apple updated the only remaining imac in 2021 with a whole new design with a 24.5 inch display
with the m1 chipset inside the design is the thinnest imac that has ever been created and it's
gone back to its old late 90s roots of adding lots of color choices that you can pick from
the imac is a great home pc mac for anyone who needs to browse the web or do some amateur photo
music or video editing as the m1 chipset can more than cope with these tasks on an ad hoc
basis well we have some more great news and that apple are looking to enhance the new design
imac with a couple of new features and of course putting the next generation m2 chipset inside so
we've just had the peak performance event and a lot of you were hoping for a more powerful 27-inch
imac to come alongside the 24-inch mac but we did kind of get this essentially with the mac studio
however it turned out to be more powerful than we imagined it's also ticked all those boxes
of being a replacement for the 27 inch imac apple have also confirmed they're not going to be making
the 27 inch imac anymore so this now means apple only been making one imac what is the 24
inch model but they have some big plans to change it in 2022 and one of those changes
is the introduction of the m2 chipsets what is the next generation version of apple silicon and the
first m2 chip will succeed the m1 chip it will not be as powerful as say as the m1 pro m1 max or even
the m1 ultra but it'll be more powerful than the standard m1 the chip that is designed to replace
according to bloomberg's mark german the m2 expected to have the same 8 core cpu as the m1 but
there will be speed and efficiency improvements as it's expected to be built on tsmc's
four nanometer process instead of the m1 what is on a five nanometer die it will have the same four
efficiency cores and also four performance cores inside just for the cpu side of things
however flipping over to gpu cores and there's a big change for the m2 instead this time it's
likely we're going to be getting between 9 and 10 gpu cores up from the 7 8 core option that we
had on the original m1 chip these two additional cores and also with that new four nanometer die
could mean we could get around about 30 to 40 percent more graphics power over m1
what is amazing as m1 is more than capable of handling everyday graphics tasks at the moment
but with all of this a quick note with any of these leaks even up to the new imac release date
with all these reports and leaks they're not 100 proof that they will come true with the new imac
i can only present to you what i've been told and shown however if you are watching this video then
you're as curious as i am and knowing what is being said about the next imac anyway so
just quickly guys this channel recently got over 350 000 subscribers was absolutely amazing so in
celebration of this i am doing a giveaway right now on this channel for this it is for a macbook
air and this macbook air here is the 8 core gpu option with 512 gigabytes of storage and i'm going
to be giving this away to one lucky subscriber when we get over 400 000 subscribers and all
you need to do to enter into this international giveaway is put down in the comments below of
what apple gear or what technology gear you're planning to buy in 2022 and when we get over
that 400 000 subscribers marker i'll be creating a video on this channel announcing who the winner is
so if you are new here make sure to subscribe to this channel and also hit that notification bell

heard from me here i'll be making a video when we get over 400 000 subscribers announcing any kind
of giveaway on this channel and it will definitely be this time for this macbook air here well with
that out of the way guys let's return back to the video so moving on release day is next and the m1
journey and all max is near a close with just the mac pro to be updated it is likely apple
want to start their journey again after the summer we're putting m2 in the first max that got m1 that
were the macbook air the 13-inch macbook pro and also the mac mini and also the possibility of the
new imac and it is likely that all four of these devices will be refreshed again this year apple
will normally hold an event in september time that is more primary for apples watches ipads and also
the iphones however we normally get another event around mid to end october time showcasing the new
macs that come out around about the end of october to early november time it's expected for apple to
release the new m2 max at this time so with that out of the way let's talk about the imac specs
along with the price so starting out as already mentioned the actual design is probably going
to be staying the same for the imac just like we had with the m1 imac that came out in 2021
but this basically means we'll be getting that same 23.5 inch led reso display what we
basically call is a 24 inch display and the resolution of the display is a 4480 by 2520
this is a standard led wrestling display it's not a mini led display like in what we get in
say the macbook pro the 14 inch and 16 inch and also that 12.9 inch ipad so it's not going to be
that it's the same display as we've had before but the great news is the pixels per inch will be 218.
we'll have storage options between 256 gigabytes all the way up to two terabytes depending on what
kind of configuration that you pick but the actual chipset inside it will be that brand new m2 eight
core cpu what is made up of four efficiency cores and four performance cores and then you will also
get the gpu will be up to 10 cores this time 10 graphical cores up from the up to 8 cores that we
used to get in the m1 chipset we will also get the choice between of 8 gigabytes or 16 gigabytes of
ram again and the actual body will be an aluminium body and then on the back we will have ports of
either a choice of two usbc thunderbolt 4 ports or if you go for a higher configuration you will get
the two times usbc ports with a usb free and you will also get those two times thunderbolt 4 ports
and you will also get a one gigabit ethernet port was actually built into the power block what you
can like stick on the floor for example the colors will basically be the same again and apple could
introduce a new color this year so i'll have to wait and see on that but the colors as they
stand right now is blue green red silver yellow orange and purple but like i said they could
introduce a whole new color so we have to wait and see on that one for the webcam there's going to be
a slight upgrade here we're going to be getting a 1080p center stage camera now because we do have
the m1 chipset inside and it can kind of handle sort of image processing bits and pieces it makes
sense for this to be upgraded to this with price though starting out with an eight gigabytes of
ram configuration and this is the lower spec m2 chipset if you chose 256 gigabytes per storage
this will come in at 1 299 us dollars and then 512 gigabytes be 1 499 us dollars and then for example
one terabyte would be 1699 usd so as you can see apple built the foundations of the m1i mac
and made it better here with the m2 imac so next are my wishes for the imac m2
and really it's to do with the price right now the m1 imac starts at 1299 us dollars but i fear that
apple may actually increase the price this year by putting that m2 chipset inside it i really
really hope they don't do this they might slap on an extra 100 us dollars but i'm really hoping
that the starting price will remain the same at 1 299 us dollars and it shouldn't increase
at all but those are my thoughts and wishes do you agree with that let me know in the comments
below because i'd love to know your thoughts well guys it's also time to wrap up this video so if
