Leaked Debug Kit Suggests Apple Is Testing a New “iMac Pro,” Among Many Other Macs
Leaked files suggest Apple is developing a pro-focused iMac with an M5 Max chip, potentially reviving the iMac Pro line for professional users.

- Apple rarely comments on upcoming products, and these software leaks have revealed an iMac Pro‑style machine, fueling rumors of a packed lineup next year.
