Probably trying to sell off old inventory.
Announcement upgrades today for Watch, iPad, and iPhone ... but no 27" iMac.
*sigh*

Mid-product Cycle
Apple's 24-inch iMac is an ultra-thin all-in-one desktop computer that was refreshed with a new design, M1 chips, and new color options in April 2021. Apple's larger 27-inch iMac hasn't been updated since August 2020, and there are rumors of a similar redesign for that model with an even larger display, perhaps as soon as late 2021. Apple also sells a barebones 21.5-inch model that's primarily aimed at the education market and hasn't been updated since 2017.

(9,106 posts)5. Yea...I think they are all having chip supply problems.
I was also looking for a 27" to replace my older IMac too. I'm holding out for a new version.

(31,816 posts)6. Of course ... though I thought it's a proprietary chip
Maybe another third-party chip or rare earth mineral or something else.
Excellent thought.
