Total thickness of 11.5 mm. So thin
This incredible design was made possible by the M1 chip – the first system on a chip designed for Mac. Thin and light, this iMac will fit anywhere. The M1 chip combines the central and graphics processors, memory, and a range of other components. That’s why we were able to fit such power into such a thin case.
Picture overall and in detail
On the stunning 24-inch Retina display with a resolution of 4.5K, everything is crystal clear, and you can see every detail. The wide color gamut P3 ensures realistic image reproduction with over a billion colors. The display brightness is 500 nits, so the picture is very vibrant. At the same time, the special anti-reflective coating reduces eye strain, and True Tone technology automatically adjusts the color temperature according to the surrounding light, making the image even more natural. Photos, presentations, movies, and series – everything looks great on the iMac.
Smile, you’re being filmed by the FaceTime HD 1080p camera
This is the best camera for Mac. It provides twice the resolution during video calls. The larger sensor captures more light. The advanced image signal processing chip in the M1 significantly enhances image quality. Now, whether discussing work matters or chatting with friends over video calls, you can be sure you look great.
Using computational video technologies, the image signal processor in the M1 chip enhances image quality. During video recording, the processor analyzes and refines each pixel in several stages, performing over a trillion operations per second. Advanced noise reduction algorithms increase clarity. Tone mapping optimizes dynamic range and reveals details in the brightest and darkest areas of the image. Additionally, along with the Neural Engine built into the M1 chip, the image signal processor more accurately adjusts exposure and white balance, ensuring you look great in any lighting.
Studio-quality microphones. Let’s talk
Whether chatting with friends, working on a music track, or recording a podcast, a good microphone is essential. With the iMac, the sound will be crystal clear. The system of three studio-quality microphones reduces echo and sound distortion. This way, you communicate as if you are standing right next to the person you’re talking to, with no distractions. Directional microphones minimize background noise. Therefore, your conversation partner will hear your voice, not the noise around you.
A six-speaker system. Sound everywhere
The iMac's acoustic system creates incredible sound that fills the entire space. Two pairs of low-frequency speakers with resonance cancellation add deep, rich bass without unwanted vibrations. Each pair is complemented by an efficient high-frequency driver. With such a system, both movies and music sound completely different.
Thanks to the updated speakers and advanced algorithms, the iMac now supports spatial audio when watching video content in Dolby Atmos format. The Retina display with 4.5K combined with the sound creates a complete feeling of being in a movie theater.
M1 chip and Big Sur. High power, enormous capabilities
The M1 chip is the most powerful chip we have ever created. And macOS Big Sur is the most advanced operating system for Mac. Together, they elevate the iMac to a new level of performance, efficiency, and security. The iMac wakes from sleep almost instantly, applications open nearly instantly, and the entire system runs quickly and smoothly. The CPU power is up to 85% greater, and graphics processing is up to twice as fast compared to the 21.5-inch iMac. Therefore, you can compile code or edit photos in real-time much faster in applications like Xcode and Affinity Photo. Meanwhile, the iMac operates quietly and does not overheat even under very high loads. This is the result of the perfect interaction between powerful hardware, software, and the M1 chip.
And even more applications for iMac
The iMac has applications for virtually any task. Thanks to the M1 chip and macOS Big Sur, you can use many iPhone and iPad apps directly on the iMac. And if something is missing, you can always find and download apps from the Mac App Store.
iMac + iPhone. Only benefits
Content from the iPhone can be viewed on the large iMac display. When you’re on the go, the iPhone gives you access to what’s stored on the iMac. And the way they work together is mesmerizing. Calls and messages come directly to the iMac, so you don’t have to switch to other devices.
With AirDrop, it’s easy to share photos, website links, files, and more from the iMac.
The Universal Clipboard allows you to copy text, images, photos, and much more on the iPhone and paste them on the iMac.
Color for every taste
The keyboard, mouse, and trackpad are available in the same colors as the new iMac. The Magic Keyboard now has dedicated keys for Spotlight, Dictation, emoji, and Do Not Disturb. And this is the first iMac model with Touch ID technology. So you can quickly and securely unlock the iMac, pay for purchases with Apple Pay, or download an app by simply placing your finger on the sensor.

Designed with the environment in mind
In creating the iMac, we aimed to minimize its environmental impact. For packaging, we use virgin wood fiber sourced exclusively from responsibly managed forests. The speakers, fan drive, and power cable connectors use magnets made from recycled rare earth elements. And we intend to transition the entire supply chain to renewable energy sources by 2030.
