For that money, Apple says the iMac receives the same treatment as on the Pro Display XDR. It adds a $500 premium to the price, however. The microphones are updated, though, with a three-mic “studio quality” array.Įven though it’s not a big redesign, the fan-favorite option might be the new nano-texture coating, which finally brings a matte option back to the iMac. Note that the actual hardware for the speakers and display is unchanged. The T2 chip does allow for some other new features, though, including support for “Hey Siri,” a new audio controller that should improve audio bass and fidelity at lower volumes, and True Tone for the display. Apple says many of its customers use the Apple Watch to automatically log in. In fact, despite the new T2 chip inside, the new iMac doesn’t have any biometric login options there’s no Face ID nor is there a fingerprint sensor. It’s just for ensuring your face is properly exposed in video calls. There’s no support for Face ID or Touch ID for logging inĭon’t get too excited about that face detection, though. Apple says the improved camera features will work in any videoconferencing app, not just FaceTime. It’s 1080p, but Apple says that the new T2 chip enables some new features beyond the improved resolution like tone mapping, exposure control, and face detection.

The webcam might be the biggest day-to-day upgrade for most users.
NEW IMAC RELEASE DATE 2019 AND SPECS 1080P
Apple has upgraded the webcam to a higher-resolution 1080p sensor. Apple says that, as it noted at WWDC, it intends to support Intel-based Macs for many years to come. Instead, the 2020 iMacs look identical to the last generation, including the large black bezel all the way around the screen and the big metal chin at the bottom. This is not the major redesign that has been rumored (and hoped for), nor is it the first ARM-based Mac. (Oddly, the iMac Pro is not otherwise getting updated.) Apple is also giving the iMac Pro a small spec bump, making the 10-core Intel chips the new baseline for $4,999 - also shipping next week. The 21.5-inch iMac, which is shifting to SSDs as standard, starts at $1,099 and will ship next week. The 27-inch iMac starts at $1,799, is available to order today, and will ship this week. SSDs are now standard across the line, and there will be a bunch of new configuration options - including a “nano-texture” version with less reflective matte glass.
NEW IMAC RELEASE DATE 2019 AND SPECS 720P
It’s updating the processors inside the 27-inch iMac to Intel’s 10th Gen Comet Lake processors and also switching out the webcam to a higher-resolution 1080p HD sensor instead of the low-res 720p found in other Macs. Apple is announcing updates for the 27-inch iMac.
