Apple's 24-inch iMac is an ultra-thin all-in-one desktop computer that was refreshed with a new design, M1 chips, and new color options in April 2021. An updated version and a larger, more powerful model to replace the discontinued 27-inch iMac and iMac Pro have been rumored to launch in 2023, but perhaps not until toward the end of the year.
