As suspected, Apple today announced a refresh to its all-in-one desktop, refreshing the 21.5-inch model with a brand spanking new screen with 4K resolution versus a 1080p screen on the previous-generation model.
In addition, the Retina 5K display is now available on every 27-inch iMac as Apple has removed the non-Retina 27-inch models from sale.
The 4K iMac comes with a 3.1GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor (fifth-generation) as standard, plus 8GB of RAM, a 1TB hard drive, and Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200. It can also be configured with a 3.3GHz Intel Core i7, up to 16GB of RAM, and up to 512GB of flash storage.
The updated 5K iMac is now powered by sixth-generation Intel Core processors, and the latest AMD graphics chips. It also offers the wider P3-based color gamut that comes with its smaller sibling.
Both iMacs also come with two Thunderbolt 2 ports as standard, and three-stream 802.11ac Wi-Fi for networking speeds up to 1.3Gbps.
“These are the most stunning iMacs we’ve ever made. With our gorgeous new Retina displays, more powerful processors and graphics and all-new Magic accessories, the new iMac continues to redefine the ultimate desktop experience.”
