Apple kicked off “Mac week” by unveiling a refresh to its perennial favorite all-in-one, the iMac. The big news here is the addition of the newish M4 chip, which the company says is 2x more powerful than the original M1 iMac. The new desktop notably arrives alongside the general availability of Apple Intelligence, which debuts as part of the macOS Sequoia 15.2 update.
The system is built around a 24-inch 4K display. Above this is a 12-megapixel webcam, built for the company’s Center Stage feature. The four ports on the rear of the device, meanwhile, are now a faster Thunderbolt 4. These are accompanied by a long-awaited refresh to the company’s keyboard, mouse, and trackpad accessories, finally ditching Lightning for the far more ubiquitous (and generally better) USB-C.
The new iMac is now available for preorder at $1,299. That will get you an 8-core CPU, an 8-core GPU, and 16GB of memory, upgradable to 32GB, 256GB, or 2TB. There’s also an option with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, starting at $1,499. Other upgrades include the nano-texture display for reduced glare.
The M4 iMac starts shipping November 8. Color options include green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, and the classic silver.
