Yawn. Show me the 32” and I’ll show you my money. Still running a 27” iMac with 4 i7 processors and I prefer it over my wife's 24” M1 iMac.
Let’s see, if an iMac 32 inch ever sees the light of day, be prepared to pay through your nose.
That display will have to be 6K and guess what that will do the starting price.
Yeah. I did the math back in the M1 days. A 32" iMac would be on order 3k to 4k, and LCD only. 220 PPI displays are not common and a 32" 220 PPI is probably 2x the cost of the ASD display. If it was miniLED or OLED? Don't even ask.
Apple can make a 27" iMac for $1800 to $2000 though. That's just an ASD with a M4 computer inside. And if Apple keeps their prices for the M4 Mac mini, it should be around $1800 to $2000 for the base 16/512 SKU. Not going to happen.
The iMac, which is basically the original Macintosh form factor, has had a 40 year run. Today, Mac sales are 90% laptops. That's not changing. It's a miracle that they sell a Mac Pro, an iMac and a Mac mini. If there is something they could possibly do, it's probably to increase the display size of the iMac from 24" to 26", something size and display quality that keeps it a $1300 base SKU.

Exactly! Besides, I think that 32” is really too big for most people. That’s a really big display. It may not sound much bigger, but looking at one shows just how gigantic it it. Not only will it take up more space, but=ut you have to sit further away and the height means more neck bending. Since the top of the screen is supposed to be at eye height, something few people with bigger displays can manage, a 32 would make for a bad situation. 27” is plenty for almost everyone not in higher end production.
