Report: Redesigned 27-Inch iMac to Feature LCD Display, Not Mini-LED [Updated]

The upcoming 27-inch iMac (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/imac/) redesign will not feature a display with mini-LED but will instead keep the LCD panel previously used, according to industry sources cited today in a report (https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20211222PD205.html) from DigiTimes.

The report said that while "speculation about the next-generation 27-inch ‌iMac‌ coming with a miniLED display" has been circulating for some time, the new all-in-one desktop machine will, in fact, not feature a mini-LED panel, according to its sources.





DigiTimes' reporting goes at odds with credible display analyst Ross Young, who just as early as this month reaffirmed (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/12/13/apple-imac-pro-spring-2022/) that the upcoming ‌iMac‌ will feature a mini-LED panel and support for ProMotion.





Despite its lack of a mini-LED panel, today's report claimed that the LCD display for the upcoming ‌iMac‌ is improving. "LED chips used in its display are up 30-40% from the previous models, giving it a higher brightness," the report said.





Initial rumors surrounding an update to the larger ‌iMac‌ indicated Apple increased the display size past 27-inches. Those rumors have died down, however, and we're now expecting the ‌iMac‌ to keep the 27-inch size but in a newer form factor. Today's report also claimed that like the 24-inch ‌iMac‌, released this past April, the upcoming 27-inch model will come in various colors (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/12/22/27-inch-imac-to-launch-multiple-colors/).





The new 27-inch ‌iMac‌ is expected to be released in spring 2022 (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/12/13/apple-imac-pro-spring-2022/), possibly at an event in March or April.
