The iMac saw a big redesign in 2021, with Apple unveiling the colorful new 24-inch iMac back in April. Looking ahead to 2022, however, there is still a lot of focus on the iMac, particularly as the 27-inch iMac awaits its turn to transition away from Intel chips to Apple Silicon.

The current iMac lineup
Currently, Apple sells two different iMac models: the 24-inch iMac powered by the M1 chip and the 27-inch iMac powered by Intel. Over the course of 2021, Apple actually significantly simplified the iMac lineup by discontinuing the 21.5-inch model as well as the iMac Pro.
The 24-inch iMac in 2022
