Apple iMac 2022: 27-inch model without mini-LEDs

After the iMac with 24 inches, Apple is also upgrading the larger version. So far it has been speculated that the screen will rely on mini LEDs for backlighting. This has apparently not been confirmed, as reports from China show. According to them, now comes a normal LC display for use (source: DigiTimes). The speculations had also picked up speed because the iPad Pro is now using mini LEDs.

Just like the new edition of the 24-inch iMac, which was presented with an Apple chip in April 2021, the larger version in many different colors to be had. With the smaller iMac, customers can choose between seven different colors. It is still unclear whether Apple will also present the 27-inch iMac in exactly these colors.
