I'm just thinking that 8K is the next big thing for video producers, as Japan is already broadcasting in 8K and North American 8K broadcasts will begin in earnest in the next few years.

My understanding is that the higher levels of the 'regular' iMac are for video production, and and the iMac Pro is aimed as VR, AR and scientific markets.
(And Thunderbolt 3 was designed to have 8K support as well.)

So the next step in the iMac's evolution would be supporting 8K Final Cut-based video editing.
