Apple debuted a series of M2-powered devices at the 2023 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, including the new 15-inch MacBook Air, Mac Studio and Mac Pro. It was previously reported that the company is preparing to launch new iMac, 13-inch MacBook Air and MacBook Pro in October this year, all using M3 chips. However, well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the refresh of the 24-inch iMac will not be released this year.
Tianfeng Securities analyst Mr. Guo said in X, predicting that the updated version of the 24-inch iMac will be available next year. In addition, analysts also claim that a high-end iMac equipped with a 32-inch mini-LED display will debut in 2025.

At the time, Gurman had claimed that new iMac models were in the late stages of development but were unlikely to ship in the second half of 2023.
Last month, Kuo also claimed that there would be no M3-powered MacBook models before the end of this year.
