Overview
- Multiple outlets, citing Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, reported Sunday that Apple plans to ship an updated 24‑inch iMac with an M6 chip before the end of 2026 and Apple has not confirmed the reports.
- The refresh is expected to keep the current slim 24‑inch design and add some new color shades rather than deliver a major exterior overhaul.
- Reported technical details say the M6 will use TSMC’s 2nm process, raise memory bandwidth toward about 200 GB/s, introduce a new memory architecture, and include a 12‑core GPU.
- Sources say Apple will likely offer only a base M6 (no Pro/Max/Ultra variants) and that the M6 generation may be short‑lived as Apple moves to an M7 family in early 2027.
- For buyers this means a faster iMac option soon but a larger generational leap — notably AI gains or an OLED iMac — may arrive later, with OLED models still described as years away.
