Apple today announced the all-new Apple iMac powered by Apple M1 chip. The redesigned Apple iMac comes in 7 different colors (green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, and silver) and features a 4.5K True Tone 24-inch Display with 500-nits brightness for a great viewing experience. Apple has also included a much-improved webcam, microphone, and speakers for great video calling experience.

Highlights:

iMac features softer colors and thinner borders on the front to allow users to focus on their content, while the back pops in bold, saturated color.
To complete the simplified design, iMac comes with a new power connector that attaches magnetically and a beautifully woven 2-meter-long color-matched cable.
The new display also features True Tone technology, which automatically adjusts the color temperature as the environment changes for a more natural viewing experience.
The powerful 8-core CPU in M1 features the fastest CPU core in low-power silicon. And the 8-core GPU features the fastest integrated graphics in a personal computer.
iMac features a 1080p FaceTime HD camera — the best ever in a Mac — which delivers high-quality video and great performance in low light.
The new iMac also features the best sound system ever in a Mac. It has two pairs of force-cancelling woofers placed side by side for an impressive bass response, while reducing unintended vibrations. Each pair is balanced with a high-performance tweeter. The result is a six-speaker sound system that produces a massive sound stage with strong, articulate bass and crystal-clear mids and highs.
Customers can choose from three models of Magic Keyboard with gorgeous aluminum enclosures that are color-matched to iMac. And for the first time, Touch ID comes to iMac.
Every iMac features two Thunderbolt ports for superfast data transfers, giving customers high-performance options to connect to more devices, including support for up to a 6K display, like Apple Pro Display XDR, and Wi-Fi 6 delivers faster wireless performance. The 8-core iMac configuration offers two additional USB-C ports and also features a 1Gbps Ethernet port in the power adapter, allowing for a less cluttered desktop.
