What Apple didn’t say in its iMac statement
Apple has very specifically ruled out an iMac of a specific size, 27 inches. And that’s not the hugeiMac Prowe’ve been hearing aboutfor some time. That one is reportedly 32 inches, which is a much better size – I know for things like Logic even 24 inches of iMac feels cramped; I’m currently on 34 where there’s much more room for pro apps to breathe.
It’s worth taking a step back here to recognise that a 32-inch iMac is going to be ludicrously expensive and isn’t expected to arrive until late 2024 at the earliest, or possibly well into 2025. And it’s also worth noting that you can build an exceptionally powerful Mac setup in a more modular way, which means you can upgrade parts of your setup without having to replace your entire system.
That’s the road I’ve gone down: as much as I loved my 27-inch iMac I much prefer myM2 Pro Mac miniwith a pair of external displays. And I know from Reddit that many of my fellow Logic Pro users get great results with a MacBook Pro that means they can record on location or on the road as well as in their studios. A high-spec M2 mini, MacBook or the cheaper of the Apple Studio models will last you forever, and while the 5K, 27-inch Apple Studio Display is the display to aspire to many of thebest 4k monitorsare considerably cheaper.
