The new iMac with the M6 chip can be configured with a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, which is built into the power adapter rather than the computer. The port is a $30 upgrade option for the lower-end iMac and comes standard with the higher-end model. For the previous model, the optional Ethernet port is limited to 1 Gigabit.
Apple is reportedly planning a smart home hub featuring an iMac G4-style design, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The device is said to include a square 6-inch display, with variants suitable for countertop or wall mounting, alongside a single FaceTime camera on the front and microphones and speakers integrated into its connected base.
Apple has begun inviting selected members of the media to a product launch experience in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 28. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman described the gathering as an "all-day product launch experience" covering touchscreen MacBooks, a new iPad mini, and Macs equipped with M6 chips.
