M6 iMac Coming This Year in New Colors
The refresh is expected to add Apple’s baseline M6 chip and new color options while keeping the 24-inch all-in-one design.
- Mark Gurman of Bloomberg reports that Apple is preparing an updated all-in-one desktop with the M6 chip and new color options, expected to launch before the end of 2026.
- The upcoming chip is expected to bring higher memory bandwidth, a more powerful Neural Engine, and a GPU with up to 12 cores. Apple is reportedly releasing only the baseline version, skipping Pro, Max, and Ultra variants.
- Gurman suggests the upcoming model will stick with the familiar 24-inch design rather than introducing a larger screen or OLED panel. Buyers should not expect a major redesign this year.
- Following the previous model's launch schedule, the M6 iMac could debut in October or November rather than alongside other hardware releases. The 2024 M4 arrived over a month after the iPhone event.
- Anyone waiting for a larger display or OLED panel should look further ahead. Current reports suggest Samsung Display is developing 24-inch OLED panels, with timelines pointing toward an OLED iMac arriving around 2029.
