Apple reportedly prototyped three different 27-inch iMac models in 2021, including one with an M1 Max chip
As it stands right now, Apple's only iMac option comes in with a 24-inch display. The company quietly removed the 27-inch option some time ago. And while there have been rumors that a replacement is on the way, we're still waiting for that to actually happen. And it sounds like Apple is at least toying with the idea, anyway.

Apple’s rumored 15-inch MacBook may feature M2 and M2 Pro chip options, launch in 2023
Apple has, for the most part, played it pretty safe when it comes to display sizes over the last several years. But if recent reports are to be believed, it sounds like the company is about to start shaking things up. Or maybe it's just testing a lot of different devices right now, and ultimately we'll stick with what we know for final products.

Qualcomm’s M1 competitor won’t arrive in PCs until late 2023
Apple set a high bar with its M1 processor, and obviously major competitors are going to try to reach it. But Apple's head start may be one of the company's best strengths moving forward, at least for a little while out of the gate. But all that really means is more competition in the segment, which is good news.
