The jump allows Apple to shrink the internals, which helps to make the iMac slimmer - up to 50% slimmer by volume because the M1 processor’s logic boards and internal fans are smaller and have moved from behind the screen.Īpple said CPU performance compared to the previous 21.5-inch Intel-powered model is 85% faster. Under the hood, the iMac makes a big jump from its aging Intel processors to Apple’s new in-house M1 silicon, just like the recent MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and Mac mini refreshes. The screen supports a wide P3 color gamut, 500 nits of brightness, and True Tone display technology to adjust the screen’s color temperature based on the ambient lighting around you for more natural colors. The screen supports 11.3 million pixels in a 4.5K Retina display. Apple claims it was able to squeeze a 24-inch screen inside a body that’s only slightly larger than that of the 21.5-inch iMac. While that means the iMac retains the large bottom bezel, the side and top bezels have been reduced. It’s insanely thin at just 11.5mm, with the guts of the computer moving to the bezel below the screen. The entire shape and size of the all-in-one is completely new, drawing inspiration from the iPad Pro’s hinge and flat back. The redesign is about more than just colors, though. Apple claims that it reserved the bold colors for the rear to help you make a statement, while the front appears more muted, with a softer color for a more neutral look to allow creatives to focus on their workflows. This year’s redesigned iMac is like an homage to Apple’s earlier all-in-ones, coming in seven bright, bold hues. “The all-new, completely redesigned iMac is more personal, more powerful, and more capable than ever,” Cook said during his keynote.
