Through the broadcast of Apple's spring event, from Apple Park, in California, announced the redesign of the iMac. This desktop computer had not received any redesign in its form factor since 2012.
It is difficult to fully describe the redesign of the iMac without directly appreciating it. It's still made of aluminum, but now, with an absolute thickness of just 11.5 millimeters. Within that space, is housed the motherboard containing Apple's new M1 chip currently found in the new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac mini.
Includes a 1080p HD front-facing camera for video conferencing with the same image processing as the iPhone. Professional quality microphones and speakers. Now available in 7 colors to choose from, harkening back to the Steve Jobs era when the vibrantly colored iMac was launched in 1999. Will this be the next step for MacBooks?
"The M1 is a giant leap forward for the Mac, and today we're thrilled to introduce the new iMac, the first Mac designed around the revolutionary M1 chip," said Greg Joswiak, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "With its striking design in seven stunning colors, immersive 4.5K Retina display, the best camera, microphones and speakers ever on a Mac, and Touch ID, combined with the incredible performance of M1 and the power of macOS Big Sur, the new iMac takes everything people love about iMac to a whole new level."
The new iMac will be available for pre-order starting April 30 and will begin shipping in the second half of May this year.
