On Twitter, Dylandkt claimed<\/a> that Apple’s “high end iMac” is not expected to release in the fourth quarter of 2021 alongside Apple’s “M1X Macs” – a reference to Apple’s redesigned MacBook Pro models – because “Apple simply does not want their devices to compete for attention and delays in product releases have led to this timetable.”<\/p>

In previous claims, Dylandkt has remained adamant that an “M1X” Apple silicon processor is destined for high-end “Pro” Macs, which could include the upcoming MacBook Pro models and a larger, more powerful iMac model. Apple is expected<\/a> to release 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models at some point between September and November.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

I’ve been waiting for the new iMac (27-inch or Pro) to use my DTK coupon that expires at the end of this year, though I might be persuaded to get a 16-inch MacBook Pro (which hasn’t been updated since its release in 2019) if there’s an external display available.<\/p>\n\n

A new Mac Pro that’s coming in 2022 is set to use Intel’s Ice Lake Xeon W-3300 workstation chips, according to an Intel leaker that WCCFtech<\/a> says has offered reliable information on Intel Xeon chips in the past.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

I’ve not heard anything about timing for the Apple Silicon Mac Pro, except that Apple announced in June 2020<\/a> that the full product line would transition within two years.<\/p>\n\n
