M4

Today’s M4 iMac announcement shows just how serious Apple is about the all-in-one desktop line.

The M1 iMac made a huge splash. It brought the return of colors, featured a giant iPad-like design, and sported a larger display with more resolution than the 4K 21.5-inch Intel iMac it replaced. Then Apple introduced the M2 chip, put it inside a bunch of Macs, and left the M1 iMac untouched.

After the iMac jumped from the M1 to M3 chip in late 2023, Apple has launched the newest version of its all-in-one desktop with its latest custom silicon and more. Here’s what’s new and improved with the M4 iMac vs M3 iMac plus a buyer’s guide.
