Applehas kicked off its potential week of announcements with a big upgrade to the iMac. The new version of this colourful all-in-one machine sports Apple’s latest M4 chip.
This update comes almost exactly a year after the last iMac update which saw it go from the M1 chip to the M3 chip. It also comes in a new array of colours to keep it fresh for the season, including new shades of green, yellow, orange, pink, purple and blue.
The accompanying Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard have also been moved over to USB-C devices, getting rid of the last few Lightning connection products. Though the positioning of the mouse charging point seems to be unchanged.
Apple has also releasediOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1today, which give access to the Apple Intelligence features.

iMac M4
The iMac M4 promises significant performance increases, especially over the older M1 edition and the Intel-based machines that came before that. Unlike phones, users aren’t likely to be updating their iMac’s every year, so these comparisons are probably more relevant than any M3 comparisons would be.
For this reason, the upgrade to a new Mac is likely to be even more appealing. Especially for those still running Intel machines (that aren’t compatible with the AI features).

All models also feature a new upgraded 12MP camera on the front, with Centre Stage. There’s also the option to add a nano-texture glass to the display to reduce glare.

Mouse and keyboard go USB-C
As part of the iMac announcement, the Magic Mouse and colour-matched keyboard for the iMac were announced to now feature a USB-C port for charging in place of the former Lightning connection. From the included pictures, the accessories look otherwise unchanged.
The keyboard is slightly different to the universal Magic Keyboard that Apple offers, as it offers a finger-print sensor in the top right, rather than the old eject button. It also is coloured to match the iMac, so comes in one of the seven new colours.
