Apple purportedly developing a high-end iMac with an M5 Max processor

It's be cool if Apple would offer a touchscreen version of the all-in-one.

Despite rumors, I don’t think we’ll see a 32-inch iMac Pro this year (perhaps ever).

Apple is developing a high-end iMac featuring the M5 Max chip, according to information from leaked internal software, according to MacRumors.

The new version of the all-in-one might arrive next year. Rumors have swirled for years about a new version of the iMac, Apple’s best-selling desktopThe new version of the all-in-one might arrive next year. Rumors have swirled for years about a new version of the iMac, Apple’s best-selling desktop. Apple discontinued the 27-inch iMac in 2020. However, last March a Geeky Gadget reports said that speculation was mounting that Apple is developing a new iMac Pro with a larger screen size, potentially 30 or even 32 inches.

“This device is expected to feature advanced hardware, including the rumored M4 Pro or M4 Max chips, designed to deliver exceptional performance,” said Geeky Gadgets. “These processors would target professionals engaged in demanding tasks such as video editing, 3D rendering, and software development, providing the power needed for intensive workflows.”

I doubt that this will happen, but wouldn’t it be cool if an “iMac Pro” came with a touchscreen display, at least as an option? Such a device would be VERY expensive, no doubt. However, Apple plans to release a MacBook Pro with an M6 processor and a touchscreen in late 2026, so why not?
