Apple announced a new 24-inch iMac featuring the M6 chip for faster performance, an N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 support, and faster SSD speeds. The design and color options remain unchanged, offering blue, green, pink, yellow, purple, orange, and silver. The all-in-one desktop retains a 24-inch 4.5K Retina display with 500 nits brightness and a 12-megapixel Center Stage camera with Desk View support.
The M6 chip introduces the first-ever dual Neural Engine with two 16-core engines, Neural Accelerators in each GPU core, and up to 170GB/s memory bandwidth. Geekbench results suggest up to 40% faster CPU performance compared to the M4 model, with Apple claiming up to 12× faster than M1 and 18× faster than Intel chips.
Pricing starts at $1,499 for the base configuration with a 10-core CPU/GPU, 16GB RAM, and 256GB storage. A $1,699 model offers a 12-core CPU/GPU and four Thunderbolt 4 ports. Pre-orders begin October 28, with a November 6 launch.
