2026 iMac Rumored to Come in New Colors

Apple's upcoming 2026 iMac will be available in a refreshed selection of colors, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports.

In today's "Power On" newsletter, Gurman said that the next ‌iMac‌ will feature a new selection of colors. This could be the first true refresh of the device's color options in five years.

The ‌iMac‌ redesign introduced in 2021 uses a distinctive two-tone color design, where the color appears differently on the front and back of the machine. The rear aluminum enclosure and stand use a bold, saturated version of the chosen color, making the machine visually striking when seen from behind. By contrast, the front chin below the display features a much lighter, pastel version of the same color, intended to reduce distraction while using the screen. The display bezel itself remains white on all models.

The M1 ‌iMac‌ was available in seven colors: Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow, Orange, Purple, and Silver. These were unchanged with the M3 version of the device in 2023.

In 2024, Apple refreshed the look of the colors slightly. While the same overall selection of colors remained the same, the tones shifted slightly, with a more saturated blue, a brighter green, a more vivid pink, a warmer yellow, a richer orange, and a darker purple.

Gurman believes that the new ‌iMac‌ will arrive after refreshed Mac Studio models, which are expected around the middle of 2026.
