After announcing its redesigned iMac today at the “Spring Loaded” special event, Apple has shared a new “Say hello to the new iMac” video on its official YouTube channel to introduce the new machine, showcasing the all-new design, powerful M1 chip, and more.
Starting off with the design, the iMac is now only 11.5 mm thick with a 24-inch 4.5K display. Launching in green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, and silver, the machine has an all-white front without the Apple logo on the “chin” as it has on the previous models.
Apple says the much more compact design reduces the volume of iMac by 50 percent, allowing it to take up less space and fit easily in even more places. Each iMac has a color-matching woven power cable and accessories.
Apple has brought its first M-series processor to the iMac after it launched with the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini in November. Apple says the machine now offers up to 85 percent faster CPU performance, up to 2x faster GPU performance for certain apps, the ability to edit up to five streams of 4K footage, or one stream of 8K footage, without dropping a frame in Final Cut Pro, and more, all thanks to the custom silicon.
