2. A 24-inch iMac with the M4, also expected around the end of the year.

7. A Mac Pro with an M4 Ultra chip, due in the second half of 2025.Gurman reiterated that Apple has internally tested an M3 Ultra chip, which would be suitable for the Mac Studio and the Mac Pro, but he said it is “all but assured that at least some of Apple’s high-end desktops” will skip the M3 chip series.

Gurman said that Apple will emphasize the artificial intelligence capabilities of the M4 chip series.
