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.
