After the launch of the M2 series, Apple proved that the success of Apple Silicon’s M series was not a one-off deal. Now, fans of the brand are anticipating what’s coming next from Apple’s in-house chip production. They might not have to wait long, though. According to a new report, Apple is readying the launch of a new 24-inch iMac with the unannounced M3 chip later this year.

It’s been some time since the launch of the last iMac. Back in 2021, Apple unveiled the all-in-one device with the then-new M1 chipset. Naturally, the focus was on the processor. The component’s reveal teased the future for Apple’s macOS lineup. With the M2 chip in full swing, it’s not hard to think that the currently available iMac is a tad bit outdated already.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, it won’t be long before a new one comes out. The new report shares that the upcoming iMac is already in “an advanced stage of development,” potentially paving the way for a release later this year.

Much like 2021, the device will come with a 24-inch display. It will also come in the same set of vibrant color options: Green, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Purple, and Blue.

But, of course, the focus is on the M3 chipset. It’s still unknown how the chipset will stack up against the current slate of M2 chips. If the history of the M series is any indication, the M3 chip shouldn’t disappoint.
