The increasing overlap between the iMac and iMac Pro could be confusing for professional users who aren't sure which model would suit them best. It also suggests that the iMac Pro is due for an overhaul of its own before too long. However, the challenge f...

If you have an older iMac in a production environment, you'll reap the benefits if you invest in the new iMac. Don't worry about Apple's commitment to supporting you in the next several years. They will. And you can rest assured that your software wil...

The 27-inch Apple iMac gains a 1080p webcam, a new matte-finish screen option, and faster CPU and GPU picks. Add all that up, and it remains one of the best big-screen all-in-one computers for the prosumer and work-from-home crowds...

Abstract: Earlier this week I got my hands on what is will possibly be the last noteworthy iMac refresh before Apple transitions from Intel to its own silicon. If that ends up being the case, we can say that Apple's all-in-one, with its Intel CPU and current design...

Abstract: The 2020 27-inch iMac was announced earlier this week with updated 10th-generation Intel chips, new AMD 5000 graphics, a True Tone display, and an improved webcam, but unfortunately, the machine features no design changes. Apple began shipping iMac orde...
Great performance, Screen looks great and supports True Tone, FaceTime camera has been improved, Design is still beautifully minimalist, and may help keep your desk looking clean
Screen bezels are relatively chunky by today's standards, Camera is better, but megapixel amount isn't high, Ports aren't always easy to get to, No 802.11ax, No biometric security (Touch ID or Face ID)
Armed with a great new webcam and some high-end chips, the iMac for 2020 really is a return of the Mac, though it's one that could see some further improvements. Thinner screen bezels, better WiFi, and more security would have been handy to see, though th...

This year's iMac is a beast. It ticks all boxes from design to display, internals, camera, mic and speakers. It even has the Apple T2 Security Chip for additional security. It will make our wait for the full Apple Silicon transition a very easy one. ...
