Apple introduced the iPhone 12 Pro, which appears to be a significant improvement. Consolidated among its novel alternatives is a heightened outside visual guidance feature. On the 10-core M1-based iMacs, the external display support appears impressive on paper.
The new $1,499, $1,699, and $1,899 iMacs boast impressive capabilities when it comes to exterior displays via Thunderbolt.
- Run up to two simultaneous exterior shows, each displayed at a resolution of 6K and a frame rate of 60Hz.
- Present a single high-profile external display event at an extraordinary resolution of 7680 x 4320 pixels and refresh rate of 120 frames per second.
The newly released M4 iMac now supports several impressive high-resolution displays.

The earlier ProRaw feature, introduced in August on the M1 and M3 iMacs and other Macs, has been pleasantly upgraded to support even higher-quality single exterior show assist capabilities up to 6K/60Hz. While Apple doesn’t currently offer a third-party 8K show, the humor lies in finding alternatives elsewhere. The present device and its companion display both boast high-definition resolutions: 5K on the former and 6K on the latter. Each boasts a refresh rate of 60Hz for seamless visual performance.
So, might this 8K/120Hz display on the M4 iMac signify Apple’s intention to release a groundbreaking new feature? As the Professional Show XDR approaches its sixth anniversary this December, it’s well overdue for an update – the 60Hz display for a professional-grade show is laughable, let alone the fact that this device lacks a camera altogether. Two years ago, Apple introduced the Apple Studio Display, which may no longer be cutting-edge. It’s possible that an updated version, potentially dubbed “Professional Show XDR,” could fill this gap as the more affordable alternative.
Apple is poised to unveil its latest device this week, offering two distinct models: a base M-series model and a more advanced variant equipped with the powerful M-series Professional chip. Since the M4 Pro likely outperforms its standard counterpart, it’s reasonable to assume that it can handle multiple 8K/120Hz streams without issue. The highly anticipated M4 Professional Mac mini unveiling provides an ideal opportunity to introduce the cutting-edge 8K Professional Show XDR, featuring a versatile refresh rate of up to 120Hz? Will it occur? We’ll uncover the truth within the next 48 hours.
