Guys it's a sad day but it's also a happy day but the main thing to take away from this video
is the 27 inch imac is now officially dead and to be deadly honest that does make me a bit
upset but at the same time as well apple have brought out something brand new and it looks
absolutely amazing we've got the brand new mac studio what has just been announced and it looks
absolutely fantastic it's basically like two and a half mac minis stacked on each other the form
factor of this but inside it you can choose an m1 max chipset just like we got in the 16 and 14 inch
macbook pros but we also have that brand new m1 ultra chipset what is also absolutely incredible
was basically two m1 maxes sewn together to give you 20 cores and up to 64 cores gpu
and that is just absolutely bonkers in performance we've already seen some of the benchmarks out
there of what it can do and as you can see here it even beats the most powerful mac pro out there the
really really expensive one now this mac studio may look amazing and you do have to buy yourself
an additional screen to go with it and in fact you can buy the new kind of studio monitor that
apple are providing and it looks absolutely incredible but when you kind of add everything
together you're gonna have to pay around about two thousand dollars at least for the mac studio and
you're gonna have to also pay at least one thousand six hundred dollars for a monitor
as well so to combine that is three thousand six hundred dollars was quite a lot of money
but if you even want the m1 ultra chip inside it the starting price on that one that starts at four
thousand dollars and not without the monitor at all so you know that is quite a lot of money
do the math that's five thousand six hundred dollars now what the mac studio is replacing
is the 27 inch imac it does seem like that apple have completely axed away the 27-inch imac and it
looks like it probably won't be ever returning again if you look at apple's website from a
couple of days ago you had the 27-inch imac and you could get it you could see it you could buy
it and it had the intel chipsets inside it that were updated in summer 2020 but today if i go on
the apple's website the 27-inch imac is nowhere to be seen as a new product the only place you
can see it is in the refurbished area of the apple website the 27-inch imac is officially gone and it
is dead and to be honest that does sadden me we've had the 27-inch imac or may i say the larger imac
for a good couple of years now and when i say a good couple of years i mean almost two decades
we got it introduced in the early 2000s when apple started introducing two different sizes of imacs
and that's continued on all the way up to present day where for example very very recently we used
to have a 21.5 inch imac and then we also have a 27 inch imac and it's been like that for around
the last kind of 10 years last year we did get the 24 inch imac with the m1 chipset inside it
but this year almost a year later what we have now is the mac studio what is replacing the 27-inch
imac now the 27-inch imac is gonna have a special place in my heart i actually bought
my first actual mac and that was actually an imac and it was the larger type at the time they had a
15-inch and they had a 17-inch imac and i bought myself a 17-inch imac when it came out and since
then i've had many imac since i've had a 24-inch imac i've also had the likes of a 27-inch imac as
well but now mainly i do use macbooks and connect them up to docs with a monitor but i do have a
mac mini as well but the mac studio is going to be probably replacing what i'm going to have with my
mac mini because you know i have a creator on here so it makes sense to actually have the mac studio
and i'm sure it's gonna be great to work with that on a desk so really looking forward to that coming
in the post very soon and i actually i'm gonna be making some videos about the new mac studio
so if you are new here make sure you subscribe and hit that notification bell
but moving on the actual imac itself it's really sad like i said that it has disappeared especially
that you could pick up a 27 inch imac just only a couple of days ago for 1 800 us dollars and this
gave you everything inside it you got your chipset you got your screen you got your keyboard you got
your mouse and now fast forward a couple of days later when we've got the new mac studio you have
to buy the mac studio you have to buy yourself a separate monitor you have to buy yourself a
keyboard you have to buy yourself a mouse if you wanted to or you can bring your own ones along
but yeah it costs like over double or even three times or even four times the amount of what you
could get with a 27-inch imac and to be honest i am quite disappointed that apple have stopped
doing that but the one thing that i won't stop doing is giveaways on this channel just like i'm
doing right now for this iphone 13 pro max in this silver white color that you can see here there's
a 256 gigabyte model and i'm going to be giving this away to one lucky subscriber when we get over
350 000 subscribers and it's not that far away and all i want to know from you guys are you planning
to buy any of the apple tech that was announced a few days ago or are you planning to buy any apple
tech in 2022 or any technology in 2022 write it down in the comments below because i'd love to
know and it will enter you into the giveaway of this iphone also at the same time as well make
sure you subscribe to the channel and also hit that notification bell because i'll be announcing
who the lucky subscriber is for this iphone 13 pro max when we get over 350 000 subscribers
now i have said this before there are lots of scammers and spammers out there
lots of them impersonating myself telling you to whatsapp them telegram you now even
this is not me at all and i will not be doing this at all and i will not be sending you any messages
to tell you that you've won the prize like i said i'll be doing it via video when we get over 350
000 subscribers so if you see these people report them or delete them or ignore them completely with
that out of the way let's talk a little bit more about the 27-inch imac now something what confuses
everything is that we've been actually expecting a larger imac for some time now with kind of an m1
chipset variant inside it obviously we were hoping it'd probably get an m1 max inside it or m1 pro
but now ever since we had the announcement of the m1 ultra we've been hopeful for a 27 inch
imac with an m1 ultra and this doesn't seem it's going to be the case anymore it doesn't look like
this is ever ever going to come out there has been lots of leaks and rumors over the years
saying that we are going to get it and in fact quite recently mingi quo actually also left the
leak here where he even said that the brand new 27 inch imac and also the mac pro is coming in 2023
and personally i don't think this is going to be true now especially apple actually said
this making our transition nearly complete with just one more product to go mac pro
but that is for another day and why would they say that if it's going to come out in 2023 it doesn't
make sense and remember tim cook also said there was going to be a two-year transition to move all
the mac line into apple silicon within two years that journey started at the end of november sort
of time in 2020 and we're coming up to summer 2022 so it makes sense for the new mac pro to be
announced at the actual apple event in the summer at wwdc like the mac pros have done in the past in
2019 we saw it announced at wwdc in 2013 we saw another mac pro announced it just makes sense
for it to come out and be announced in the summer this year but what most likely we will also see is
possibly the next generation of chipsets because remember apple also said this we're adding one
last chip to the m1 family introducing m1 ultra so it seems quite likely that the mac pro will not be
getting anything with an m1 variant chipset inside it not even the m1 ultra or it might get the m1
ultra as it's kind of baseline configuration the cheapest one out there but it seems like
that they're not going to be making any more kind of m1 variants for the time being and it looks
like we're going to be stepping into m2 territory the next generation and the mac pro might be the
first device to actually get the new m2 tying the chips inside it so it's quite exciting but back to
the 27 inch imac yep officially it is dead from the sounds of it unless ming chi quo is correct
in 2023 we do see a new one but personally from my point of view i don't think it is
but what i would like to say is this the 27-inch imac has been a fantastic model for many many
years and i know a lot of you people out there even probably watching this video are watching
on the 27 inch imac and it is sad to see it go and i'd love to know you guys if you've ever had a 27
inch imac or a larger imac what your experiences have been with it and will you be sad to see it go
put it down in the comments below and also at the same time as well what i was gonna say is
i might even make a tribute video and a bit of a history for the 27 inch imac in the future
because to me it's been such an amazing device and i think it deserves a good farewell well with
that out of the way guys what i will say is it's time to wrap up the video so if you have enjoyed
