Apple’s latest iMac update brings a powerful upgrade to the desktop line by introducing the new M4 chip. With an 8-core CPU and an impressive 10-core GPU, the M4 chip is set to elevate the performance of Apple’s already iconic all-in-one computer. The new iMac includes a standard 24-inch 4.5K Retina display, yet Apple has introduced a “nano-texture glass option” for this generation, specifically designed to reduce glare in bright environments. This glass addition, combined with Apple’s advanced color accuracy, promises a brilliant, crisp viewing experience ideal for both creative work and casual use.
The Apple M4 iMac also doubles its base memory to 16GB of RAM, with the ability to configure up to 32GB, giving users a smoother, faster experience even with memory-intensive applications. Priced at $1,299 for the entry-level model with two USB-C ports, the iMac’s higher-end versions start at $1,499 and offer four USB-C ports. The shift to USB-C isn’t limited to just the computer itself; accessories now come with USB-C charging ports instead of the former Lightning ports, making charging more straightforward and universal across devices.
A few other small yet impactful changes elevate the M4 iMac as a productivity powerhouse. The new iMac is outfitted with a 12MP webcam, optimized with Apple’s latest AI-powered “Apple Intelligence” tools for tasks such as on-the-fly editing and productivity suggestions. Apple has also rethought voice control by adding a redesigned Siri, making it easier for users to stay hands-free.
Available in seven colors—including the new blue, purple, and green options—the new iMac is as stylish as it is powerful. Preorders begin today, and units will hit stores on November 8th, solidifying Apple’s commitment to blending artful design with top-notch performance in its desktop lineup.
