The company was rumoured to be planning for an event this month, and the official invite confirms the details.

Apple will be hosting a virtual launch event where teasers suggest Apple could bring the new iMacs and even the MacBooks.

Some suggest the company will power these devices with the new M3 chipset which is quite likely.

Earlier, Apple was told be launching new iPads as well but we only got the so-called affordable Apple Pencil variant.

The new iMac is unlikely to come with major design changes and will be the first upgrade after the M1 iMacs launched in 2021.
