What Apple announced

iMac (24-inch, M3, 2023)

Mac · iMac · discontinued 28 October 2024

The iMac, with Apple silicon, is a line of all-in-one desktop Macs made by Apple since 2021. The first major redesign of the iMac line since 2012, the case and internals were redesigned to use Apple's custom processors, starting with the M1 system on a chip. The Apple silicon iMac features a 24-inch (610 mm) screen in a thin aluminum enclosure, elevated off the resting surface by a foot, and comes in seven colors.

Apple started shipping the first Apple silicon iMacs on May 21, 2021. The line was revised in 2023 to use the Apple M3 chip and in 2024 to use the Apple M4. Reception to the iMac has generally been positive; critics highlighted the design, ease of use, and portability as positive features, while the lack of ports and height adjustment, cost, and lack of a larger screen size were common criticisms.
