![The iMac Pro could come out of retirement to dominate the desktop](https://cdn.magzter.com/1408055611/1667925145/articles/8qw3QD05L1668518190710/THE-IMAC-PRO-COULD-COME-OUT-OF-RETIREMENT-TO-DOMINATE-THE-DESKTOP.jpg)
In 2021, the iMac got a major refresh with a new design and (fave.co/3AvIV7y) an M1 processor. At the time, it was a much-needed update to Apple's iconic line of computers, but now that it's about a year and a half later, it's about time for a new model-possibly an even better one.
After putting some thought into a new iMac, I concluded that most of the features I'd like to see don't fit with the current iMac. Instead, I'd like to see a return of the iMac Pro, which was discontinued last year. When it launched in 2017, it was largely seen as a stopgap between Mac Pro models, but it was an important machine that helped separate the iMac into distinct lines-the 21.5-inch model for budget-minded consumers, the 27-inch model with more screen and power, and the Pro model for the most demanding of users.
Now the only iMac Apple sells is decidedly for regular consumers. Rumors that Apple is working on an iMac Pro (fave.co/35QzQLR) come out sporadically, but it's been a while since we've heard anything. When the next iMac update arrives (probably next spring), I'd love to see Apple unveil a new iMac Pro and bring the ultimate all-in-one desktop back to the lineup. Here's what it should look like.
A FASTER M2 PRO PROCESSOR
Obviously, a computer called the "iMac Pro" should have a pro-level processor. The question is, though, which pro processor should it have? Reports from last year speculated that Apple might use the M1 Pro and Max chips in an iMac Pro, and that would make sense given that the current iMac has an M1.
