After a two-year hiatus, Apple is working on a new iMac with the M6 chipset and updated color options, per Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. It should release before the end of the year.

The iMac isn't frequently refreshed. It skipped the M2 and M5 families of chips. Gurman outlines that there'll be some new color options with this refresh, but didn't mention what would change. Apple slightly adjusted the color palette with the M4 refresh in 2024, though the actual 7 color options remained the same — just with different shades.

This fall could be a major one for the Mac. Overhauled MacBook Pro models with touchscreens and Tandem OLED, a new base model 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6, new M5 Max and M5 Ultra Mac Studios, and the new iMac with M6. Apple's M6 chip will be the first Mac chip based on the new 2nm process, though there reportedly won't be an M6 Pro, M6 Max, or M6 Ultra chip — with the company instead accelerating the launch of the M7 family.
