So we have new macs coming out this fall on apple's new silicon road map however what about
the apple imac m1x larger model desktop machine will it be a larger imac and no imac pro model
well today we'll cover what imac we're expecting to see with the m1x chipset
inside will also cover its release date and price and other expected features.
Hi it's Matt here, so the new m1 imac 24 inch model has been out a while
and is selling very well however we still have the 27 inch imac and a lot of you want to know what is
going to happen to it what will its chipset be will it have a bigger screen will it have the
marmite color choice like the current 24 inch imac and also will it be known as the imac pro
well we haven't seen a true redesign to this model since 2012 when it lost its cd dvd drive
yes there has been a 5k screen bolted in over that time but it's been nearly nine years since
the original design was updated now that the 21.5 inch imac has been replaced by the 24-inch imac
even though for quick note you can still pick up a 21.5 intel imac but that's another story for
another day the new 24 inch model is the first imac to give us an apple silicon chipset inside
known as the m1 chip as the 27-inch imac was not refreshed at the same time and traditionally when
all imacs were intel the 27-inch model always packed a larger punch and power over the 21.5
inch smaller brother we're expecting to see the same again with apple silicon added to this larger
imac so if you've been on my channel before if you are new here for all the new imacs videos going
forwards like this one i'm going to talk about specific features we're likely to see inside
the larger imac and this can be included from the latest reports or leaks that have been shared with
us after this i'm going to talk about the plan release date time and then after a summary of
the larger imac with the prices and also features we have learnt about in previous reports and leaks
after i'm going to reveal my wish list for the next larger imac and also put in the comments
below of what features you'd like to see in the next imac and in my next video i may feature your
comment and discuss my thoughts around it so let's get started if we will get a larger imac than the
current 24 inch model or if this will be a new imac known as the imac pro with a huge price tag
like the exeon imac pro we had before in 2017. the simple answer it's probably going to be a no for
an imac pro now if you take a look at apple sales in the last few years a trend appears of what
products sell the best so starting with the iphone for example the most common iphone they sell is
the normal 6.1 inch iphone 12 by a long shot and this takes around about 40 percent of all the
iphone cells including all iphone 12 models the 11 the 10r and also the current sc the same with
macbooks even before the m1 chipset macbooks came out last year the most commonly sold macbook was
the 13-inch macbook pro followed very closely by the macbook air and then the 16-inch macbook pro
and then again before the m1 imac inch model that came out this year it was the same again the most
sold imac was the 21.5 inch model followed by the 27 inch model and only a tiny amount of imac sales
were actually the imac pro's 27 27-inch model it's quite simple that apple know their customers
buy macs that will do the job for them and they're not willing to pay out loads more to have the
highest spec imac out there if everything they need to do can be done on a cheaper imac for this
reason myself and other reporters believe that apple not for the foreseeable future bring out
an imac pro again that will cost over 5000 us dollars as a starting price it's more likely
apple bring out another 2 000 us dollar imap that will be the replacement for the current 27
inch intel imac but will have a larger screen and also have apple silicon m1x chipset put inside it
just a quick note here though so like a few of my other videos with any leaks even up to the
new imax release date that i find out and showed you guys a lot of previous leaks for other apple
products have come true but there have been some that sometimes get misinterpreted based on the
facts that leakers have been told i can only present to you what i have been told and shown
no legal rumor is 100 true until we see the final new larger imac being shown officially from apple
however if you are like me and you are watching this video then you're as curious i am in knowing
what the next generation imac is going to be like and want to know all the latest leaks and rumors
no matter what they tell us with that out of the way let's talk about the channel giveaway
then talk about the release date and then finally do a summary of everything we know so far
and also the prices so just quickly guys this channel recently hit over 200 000 subscribers
and we gave away this macbook pro that we have right here well i have some great news and that
is we're gonna be giving away another a macbook pro and this one's a bit more specked up over this
one this one has 512 gigabytes of storage and also has 16 gigabytes of ram inside and i'm going to be
giving away this macbook pro here to one lucky subscriber when we hit over 230 000 subscribers
so all i want to know from you guys in the comments below is what apple gear are you
planning to buy in 2021 with the new iphones and the new macbooks and everything let me know in
the comments below also at the same time as well make sure you subscribe to this channel and also
hit that notification bell because when we hit that 230 000 figure of subscribers you want to
be notified if you are going to be the lucky subscriber to get your hands on this macbook
pro also at the same time as well do check out my other videos on this channel including the video
of when we got over 200 thousand subscribers and who we gave away this macbook pro to
as well so release date this is actually an area that is quite quiet at the moment to be honest
now based on leaks and rumors that we've been told about the macbook pro 14 and 16 inch models
they're planned for release before the end of 2021 and it's expected that the new imac could launch
near the same time as the chipsets inside these macbooks will also be the same ones that are going
to be put inside the larger imac and this chipset is can be known as the m1x we've also had leaks to
say that the new generation macbook air is likely to come out in early 2022 that will have the next
generation m2 inside it with a similar core count to the m1 based on that the m1x is an advancement
of m1 we believe that apple would not want to launch an m1x imac alongside an m2 early next year
so logically it's assumed that the m1x imap will come out before the end of 2021
and if it does it'd be at apple's last event of the year so late october to november time
but there again as i said it's quiet at the moment so 2022 could be on the cars as nothing is being
said however the moment we hear any more updates to the release date i'll be updating these videos
with everything we know but moving on let's do a summary of what the imac m1x expected to give us
and the prices so first of all i think the first thing to mention is we don't know if it's going
to be called an imac pro or it's just going to be referred to as the imac 32-inch model
but we do know it is most likely going to be getting a 31.5 inch or a 32 inch screen and this
will be an led retina display with a resolution of 6016 by 3 384 and will be a 6k screen
with 60 hertz refresh rates so a lot of you are probably wondering why doesn't it have that new
xdr liquid retina display and also pro motion to give us 120 hertz or 120 frames per second
refresh rate and the simple answer is it's because it's too expensive to put on a 6k screen and the
imac or this larger imac would be super expensive to buy more expensive than what we would actually
estimate it to be remember the current xdr display what you can buy for a mac pro cost shy of 5 000
us dollars so it's very unlikely it's going to be put inside this imac however moving on for storage
options it's going to start at 512 gigabytes all the way up to 8 terabytes of storage for
ssd storage as well inside this new machine there will also be that brand new m1x chipset inside it
with two efficiency cores and eight performance cores as well this is two more cores additional to
what we get on m1 and we're also getting far more performance cores there will also be most likely
a choice or even possibility just one of a 16 or 32 core gpu depending on what type of storage and
ram amount that you pick but i will be built into the m1x chipset and talk about the ram there will
be a choice between 16 to 128 gigabytes of ram the body will be made out of the usual aluminium
unibody frame body and it will be a brand new design as you can see here that is more
based on the imac m1 design there will also be a 1080p facetime camera and the starting prices
for basically the 512 gigabytes storage option and 16 gigabytes of ram will start up 1899 us dollars
because there's so much customization and how much ram and also if you want to change the display
to have that kind of map look and also change how much storage you want i can't display every single
option but it's looking likely that the starting price will be at this 1899 marker
so with that summary out of the way my wishes for the imac pro is to do with the price
now at the moment we could just be getting the imac 32 inch model or we could be getting instead
an imac pro now i love the idea of calling this imac as the imac pro and i really do hope apple
do that instead of just calling it the 32 inch imac however one thing that makes me nervous is
the price if they do call it a pro option the 27 inch current intel imac starts at 1799 us dollars
and i think this is a reasonable price to start at however i'm afraid if we get a pro name again
that this imac could start at 4999 us dollars like the last imac pro that we had back in 2017.
to me as the new imac 24 inch starts at 1 299 and then a jump up to 4999
it's a massive jump and apple would be foolish to make a mistake like this
but those are my thoughts and my current wish for the new imac however let me know your thoughts and
if you agree with this or not write it in the comments below and also let me know what your
wishes would be for the new imac 32-inch model well guys it's time to wrap up this video so if
