Apple recently introduced their new 24 inch iMac, and in this video, we’re going to
explore its top new features. Starting with its incredible design.
This new model is available in seven colors, green, yellow, orange, red, purple, blue,
and silver. And it’s the thinnest iMac ever made, at just 11.5mm. That also helps lower
its weight, which is just 9.8 pounds, or 4.4 kilograms.
Thanks to it’s new stand, this model’s footprint is smaller than before. Measuring
in at 5.8 inches instead of 6.9.
On the back you’ll find just two thunderbolt ports, if you buy the base model. While the
higher end models feature an additional two USB-3 ports.
Apple also managed to include an Ethernet port, which is built-in to the power brick,
and costs $30 on the base model. While being included for free on the higher end models.
I should also mention that the power brick is now located in the middle of the cable.
That way, it can lie on the floor instead of taking up space on your outlet.
Speaking of cables, this model features a color-matched woven fabric power cable, something
never done on a Mac before.
Next, is Apple’s powerful and efficient M1 chip. Which enables the iMac to do all
kinds of incredible things. Like launch apps in the blink of an eye, or wake instantly
from sleep. It also allows for a smaller logic board and thermal system which was crucial
in achieving a super-thin design. You can click through hundreds of Safari tabs, edit
photos without a hitch, enjoy a CPU that’s up to 85% faster, graphics that are up to
two times faster, run iPad and iOS apps, enjoy three times faster machine learning, and edit
8K video all thanks to Apple’s M1 chip.
Now let’s talk about the gorgeous 4.5K Retina Display. It’s measures in at an expansive
24 inches, compared to 21.5 previously. Its P3 color gamut brings photos and videos to
life with over a billion colors. While 500 nits of brightness allows content to shine
through. The display also has an industry-leading anti‑reflective coating, delivering greater
comfort and readability. And True Tone technology automatically adjusts the color temperature
of your display to the ambient light of your environment, for a more natural viewing experience.
Now let’s talk about the FaceTime camera. It has a larger sensor that captures more
light. While delivering double the resolution for higher-quality video calls. At 1080p HD,
it’s by far the best camera ever in a Mac. And the M1’s advanced image signal processor
allows for computational video on the fly. Which automatically adjusts the white balance
and exposure to make sure you look your best in any situation.
Next are the microphones. This iMac features a studio-quality three-mic array, designed
to reduce feedback, so conversations flow more naturally and you interrupt each other
less. Beamforming technology helps the mics ignore background noise. Which means everyone
hears you — instead of what’s going on around you.
The speakers have also been dramatically improved. With a six-speaker sound system featuring
two pairs of force-cancelling woofers, each balanced out by a high-performance tweeter.
Thanks to this advanced speaker setup, the iMac now supports Spacial Audio when playing
video with Dolby Atmos.
Next, are the accessories. The iMac’s keyboard has been redesigned. With the keys in each
corner hugging the aluminum perimeter. New dedicated keys for Spotlight, Dictation, Do
Not Disturb, and Emoji have been added. While, for the first time ever, Touch ID comes to
the iMac. So you can easily and securely unlock your computer, use Apple Pay, and download
apps. Also, the iMac features a color-matched trackpad, keyboard, and mouse.
Finally, let’s talk about its environmental improvements. All of the virgin wood fiber
in its packaging comes exclusively from responsibly managed forests. The rare earth elements in
the speakers, fan motor, and power connector magnets are completely recycled. And when
you combine those factors with its high recyclability, the 24-inch iMac can be considered the most
environmentally friendly Mac ever.
So those are the top new features of the iMac, thanks for watching till the end, and don’t
forget to leave a like on your way out.
