silver grey and Shirley Temple Black had a good 13 - plus - year run , but on Tuesday , Apple put an destruction to it and started a colorful novel chapter for its all - in - one Mac , the iMac . The colors are n’t all that ’s new ; the iMac features Apple ’s new M1 system on a chip , new sizes , and a lot more . Here are the top five feature of Apple ’s new all - in - one .
24-inch iMac (2021)
New design with a rainbow of colors
The iMac is now available in blue , light-green , orange , pinkish , purple , and silver gray with match a Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad . ( mayhap you may even match with the colorediPad Airif you corrupt one latterly . )
The new iMac has an refined , minimal looking compare to its forerunner . The bezel around the showing are much smaller than on the premature iMac , but it still has a “ mentum , ” below the showing that houses the iMac ’s internals ( though it ’s much thinner ) . The mentum does n’t have the Apple logo on the front . Instead , it ’s on the back , where you ’ll also discover two Thunderbolt ports and two USB - blow port . The tapered design is gone , and the fresh iMac is now 11.5 millimeter thick .
Apple provides input twist that rival the color of the iMac .

Power of M1
The iMac is the later Mac with Apple ’s ownsystem on chip , follow theMac mini,13 - inch MacBook Pro , andMacBook Air . The iMac has the same M1 cow chip Apple released last class . Here is a nimble spirit at the specifications :
24-inch 4.5K Retina display
The new iMac is usable in one size with a 24 - column inch 4.5 K Retina display — right in between the 21 - in and 27 - inch Intel Macs — which has 11.3 million pixels and bread and butter for the P3 wide colouring gamut , over a billion colors , 500 nit of brightness , and True Tone . Apple treat the display with an anti - reflective coating to help with readability .
The iMac still has a chin , but the bezels around the screen are a lot smaller . fancy here in orange .
Touch ID
It ’s been on Apple ’s MacBooks , and now Touch ID makes its debut in a screen background Mac . The iMac comes with a new wireless Magic Keyboard with a Touch ID button in the upper correct nook . Touch ID is standard in the $ 1,499 and $ 1,699 models with an 8 - core GPU , but if you desire it in the $ 1,299 iMac with a 7 - core GPU , you ’ll have to add it as an option and ante up extra . Apple has n’t said how much the new keyboard costs and it does n’t seem to be available separately

Made for video conferencing
Apple in the end kick upstairs the FaceTime tv camera when itupdated the 27 - inch iMac last yr , but it did n’t change the 720p television camera in the 21.5 - inch model . The fresh iMac , fortunately , has the 1080p FaceTime camera , and if it ’s anything like the one in the 27 - inch mannequin , it ’s a good one , with keen characterization character , better handling of light , and good coloring material consistency .
Along with the camera , Apple also includes a three - microphone array that are in places on the iMac so you do n’t get feedback from the computer . The mics support “ directional beamforming ” to help filter out setting noise while you are talking .
Apple calls the speakers in the iMac “ the best sound organisation ever in a Mac . ” It has six speakers , two pairs of force - cancelling woofers and two high - execution tweeter . Apple also uses “ ripe algorithms ” to support spatial audio .
