I would love for the 27" iMac to make a comeback or for it to replaced with a 6k 32" bigger brother, with one big caveat: it absolutely needs to be usable as a dumb monitor.
The reduced cable mess that comes with iMacs is amazing and over the years some of my favorite machines have been iMacs, but with how much screen panel quality has improved, it's non-optional for the display to be usable independent of the computer. Unfortunately this hasn't been possible ever since iMacs were upgraded from 2560x1440 panels to 5120x2880 panels, originally due to cable bandwidth limitations but that's no longer an issue.
The Studio Display is already very close to being an iMac already, complete with super overengineered flat PSU and cooling system… just swap out its A13 SoC with an M2 Pro and add a few ports and you've got a very nice VESA mountable desktop computer.
