Imminent Arrival of 24-inch iMac Refresh with M2 and M2 Pro Chips Sparks Rumors

Rumors suggest that Apple may be planning to refresh the 24-inch iMac with upgraded M2 and M2 Pro options, as higher configurations of the current M1 iMac are experiencing delayed shipments. The M2 chip, released last year, would potentially allow for more RAM in the iMac. It was previously expected that the iMac would skip the M2 generation and wait for the M3 chip, but now it seems that M3 Macs are not expected until 2023.

Valve has submitted a new Steam Deck for certification with the FCC, indicating that a hardware refresh may be on the horizon.

The certification process suggests that the new Steam Deck may be close to release.

Additionally, there are hints that a wireless PC VR headset may also be in the works.
