When Apple introduced the M1 processor, the first devices to make use of this in-house processor were the MacBook Air, Pro, and Mac mini. Oh, and Apple finally included its TrueTone technology here, so hopefully, your eyes will thank you after staring at the screen for too long. Instead, Apple integrated a 4.5K Retina Display with a wide P3 color gamut, and up to 500 nits of brightness. But we digress.Īs for that display, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill 1080p panel.

It’s rather disappointing, but we’re holding out hope that the 27-inch model (and maybe a new 31.5-inch version) arrives later this year. That’s right, this new iMac is only available with a display size of 24-inches. One omission you likely noticed if you watched Apple’s Spring Loaded event was the lack of a 27-inch model. But hey, we’re not going to gripe too much over the little things here. This seems a bit contradictory as Apple opted to use a white frame around the screen instead of the traditional black. But this change makes sense considering that you need to focus on what’s on your screen. The color on the back of the case is a bit more prominent than the color on the front. Now, the iMac is available in seven different colors: With the redesign, we have a slew of new color options, and no, we aren’t talking about iterations of silver or space gray. The new iMac (11.5mm) is thinner than the original iPhone (11.6mm). For reference, the original iPhone measured in at 11.6mm, so it’s crazy to see how far design and innovation has come in the last 12 years or so. And speaking of slim and sleek, this new iMac is ridiculously thin, measuring in at just 11.5mm thick. That’s what we’re getting from a design aspect. Slimmer bezels, sleeker design, and even an upgraded webcam for those annoying Zoom meetings.
