They’re looking for an iMac Pro. Sorry if you didn’t catch that, but M5 Pro / Max are not available in iMac form.

I understand that, but they said they were waiting for a higher memory variant M6, which was not planned. If they need higher RAM they can go M5 Pro/Max (outside of iMac form factor) or wait hopefully for newer iMac Pro variants in the future.

To be honest, I doubt we're going to see iMacs with very high RAM any time soon. RAM is expensive and most people buying high-RAM machines want to bring their own monitor, not get an all-in-one with a small-ish screen.

		> they said they were waiting for a higher memory variant M6 That's not what they said. I gathered they were waiting for an iMac refresh, with the hopes that iMac Pro would get an upgrade. Hence the "would be nice to have some kind of a pro model" > most people buying high-RAM machines want to bring their own monitor The 27" iMac Pro 5K is holding its value pretty well on second-hand markets, despite its age. The Mac Studio replaced the Mac Pro, not the iMac Pro.
