Apple has discontinued its popular 27-inch iMac following the launch of the new Mac Studio and Studio Display.

The 27-inch iMac was one of the final Intel-based computers still in Apple's lineup. We were hoping to see it replaced with an Apple Silicon version; however, at least for now, users who want a 27-inch monitor will likely pair the new Studio Display with an M1 Max or M1 Ultra Mac Studio. This comes in at a much higher starting price. The 5K 27-inch iMac started at $1799; whereas, the Mac Studio plus Studio Display combination starts at $3598. You could also combine the Studio Display with the less powerful M1 Mac mini. That would start at $2298.

Do you think Apple still needs a 27-inch iMac in its lineup or is the 24-inch M1 iMac good enough? Let us know in the comments!

I have a 2014 27 inch iMac and I was looking forward replacing it with a M1 iMac . I don’t need all the extra performances of the new Mac and the cost.

Having still a late 2012 iMac27 (that’s still working like a champ thanks to an external Bootable ssd) I was hoping a new iMac27 to replace it. The new combo is priced way too high for me so I guess I’ll need to wait a little longer and see…
