Looking at what the 24" is going for (how it effectively went up a couple of hundred bucks in some ways, with the "crippled" one now at $1,299 instead of $1,099 as before, even though they are still selling a non-Retina $1,099 21.5" model, but I can't see it flying off the shelves), I can imagine a new, larger (30"?) and M1x (or whatever) iMac starting at $1,999, for sure. Especially if, along with the larger screen, beefier processor, etc. it also comes, out of the box, with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD (like the $1,799+ MacBook Pros). I think they're going to let that 24" model, with the various RAM and SSD BTO options cover that $1,299-1,999 range, and if you wanna go Big & Powerful, you gotta shell out $2,000 or more.

In 2021, anything with "Pro" in its name should come with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD, especially if it's $1,500+. And, right now, they're doing that with the notebooks and the Mac Pro, so I'm sure a larger, more capable iMac would have that too.
