Apple updates iMac with new colors and M4 chip

Apple updates the iMac with an M4 chip. The new iMac, announced this morningfeatures an M4 chip with an 8-core CPU and up to a 10-core GPU. The entry-level model costs $1,299 with two USB-C ports, while higher-end models start at $1,499 and have four USB-C ports.

It also comes with accessories that now use USB-C charging ports instead of Lightning. Like the previous model, the new iMac has a 24-inch 4.5K display. However, Apple is offering a new “nano-textured glass option” that is supposed to help reduce reflections and glare.

Additionally, the iMac’s base RAM has been doubled to 16GB from the previous model, with the ability to configure it up to 32GB. Apple’s new iMac also comes with a 12MP webcam , as well as new Apple Intelligence features starting to roll out today, such as AI-powered writing and editing capabilities, as well as a redesigned Siri.

The updated iMac is available for pre-order today, starting November 8. It is available in seven colors: green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue and silver.

Apple’s new desktop computer comes about a year after announcing an M3-powered iMac. The M3 chip was the main change to this computer; otherwise, it looked like 2021’s M1 iMac, which arrived with a major redesign. Apple said the M3 model was more than twice as fast as the M1 version.

Apple first announced the M4 chip alongside the new iPad Pros in May, but the chip had yet to make the jump to the Mac lineup. The iPad Pro’s M4 chip is built with what Apple calls “second-generation” 3nm technology, and the company says the chip has a CPU with up to 10 cores and a GPU at 10 hearts.

The new M4 iMac follows the surprise announcement earlier this month of a new iPad Mini, which was last revised in 2021.
