Following the recent launch of the new Apple iPad Mini, Apple has unveiled the all-new iMac, powered by the M4 chip and Apple Intelligence in a stunning, ultra-thin design.
Featuring a more capable CPU with the world’s fastest CPU core, the new iMac is up to 1.7x faster than iMac with M1 — thanks to its powerful M4 chip that will help make daily tasks even more efficient.
Built together with an immensely powerful GPU using Apple’s most advanced graphics architecture, this new iMac is also able to handle more intense workloads, including photo editing, as well as gaming up to 2.1x faster.
In addition to the expansive 24-inch 4.5K Retina display, the iMac will also be available with a nano-texture glass option for the first time, to help with reducing reflections and glare while maintaining outstanding image quality. This means you can place the iMac in even more spaces, including bright and sunlit spaces.
Video calls are made better too, with a new 12MP Centre Stage camera that supports Desk View, making sure everyone looks perfectly centered during calls like FaceTime.
The Desk View also comes in handy, especially for educators or those needing to make a presentation, as it makes use of the wide-angle lens to simultaneously show the user and a top-down view of their desk.
The experience is further boosted with a studio quality three-microphone array with beam forming and immersive six-speaker sound system for unrivaled audio.
With Apple Intelligence built into the new iMac system, you will get to experience personalized experiences supported by the power of AI.
This includes systemwide Writing Tools where you can refine words by rewriting, proofreading, and summarizing text everywhere that you write, as well as being able to write and type requests into the redesigned Siri.
More Apple Intelligence features are expected to roll out in December, including ChatGPT which will be integrated into Siri and Writing Tools.
Offering four USB-C ports, you’ll be able to get super fast data transfers that will allow you to connect to even more accessories like external storage, docks, and up to two 6K external displays.
macOS Sequoia completes the new iMac experience with a host of exciting features that include iPhone Mirroring for you to wirelessly interact with your iPhone; Safari, which now offers Highlights for you to pull up relevant information quickly; and Distraction Control, which helps you to hide items on your webpage that may be disruptive to browsing.

The iMac is priced from S$1,799 and is available for PRE-ORDER from 30 October. It will be available at the Apple Store and Apple Authorised Resellers from 8 November.
