The latest news from Apple brings us news about the new
iMac. A version, with a spectacular design and higher performance, that can be
reserved from last April 30, 2021 on its website and that will be available in
some Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Distributors, from the second half of
this month of May .
Let's see the most outstanding features of the novelties
presented by Apple.
Apple news about the new iMac
Apple's news about the new iMac highlights the design change
of this pioneering device in desktop computers "all in one", that is,
they do not need a tower.
The new iMac offers a more compact and slim design than its
predecessor, thanks to the implementation of the M1 chip . At just 1.15 cm
thick and available in 7 colors (green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue and
silver), the new Apple desktop is presented as a high-performance computer that
adapts to style. personal of each user, and brings a touch of color to the
workspaces.
Features of the new iMac
In addition to its renewed external appearance, the new iMac
features a 24-inch 4.5K Retina display, with a resolve of 11.3 million pixels,
500 nits of brightness and more than one billion colors. It also includes a
1080p FaceTime HD camera, studio-quality microphones and six speakers that
contribute to a unique camera and audio system to date.
Let's take a closer look at the publicized improvements.
M1 chip performance according to Apple news
According to the news published by Apple, the M1 chip
represents a revolutionary change in its devices. Thanks to its performance,
the new iMac wakes up instantly, tasks become more fluid and applications open
with surprising speed.
Its powerful eight-core CPU improves the performance of the
central processing unit by up to 85%, allowing, for example, to export
multimedia projects in iMovie more quickly, work with large-format photos in
Lightroom or compile new ones. apps in Xcode in less time.
For its part, the graphics processing unit, or GPU, doubles
the speed in apps like Photoshop or Affinity Photo and is 50% faster than any
independent graphics processor implemented in the iMac so far.
In addition, the M1 chip is equipped with a 16-core Neural
Engine machine learning system, which allows you to learn up to 3 times faster
in the apps that use it. Such is the case, for example, of the FaceTime HD
Camera which, in its facial recognition function, uses the Neural Engine to
adjust the white balance and achieve more natural skin tones. It also allows
you to isolate voice and instrument tracks in real time with the djay Pro AI
app, identify who is in your photos or videos, improve dictation functions or
even recognize reactions such as laughter, applause, etc.
To the implementation of the M1 chip, we must add the new
operating system "imacOS Big Sur". An OS that improves, among other
functions: browse Safari with a large number of tabs open at the same time,
edit images instantly in the Photos app, have greater productivity with the
integration of iPhone and iPad apps and the possibility of connecting different
Apple devices to work on them simultaneously.
The M1 chip is also integrated into other products of the
brand such as the MacBook Air, the 13-inch MacBook Pro or the Mac mini.
Enhanced cameras, microphones and speakers
As we mentioned, the new iMac integrates a 1080p FaceTime HD
camera . that, in addition to offering high-quality video and great low-light
performance, takes advantage of the Natural Engine and the image processor of
the M1 chip to automatically optimize the quality of the camera image by making
improvements such as: reduction of noise, better white balance, higher dynamic
range, and so on. With this, the image experience, for example, in video calls,
is much more positive.
The 3 studio microphones provide greater clarity to the
calls and recordings with iMac. Coupling is reduced and, thanks to “directional
beamforming” technology, it eliminates background noise allowing for clearer
and more natural conversations.
When it comes to the new iMac speakers, Apple says in its
news, it is "the best audio system on a Mac to date." Two pairs of
subwoofers deliver rich sound without disturbing vibrations, each combined with
a high-performance tweeter that balances the sound. The 6 speakers, combined
with advanced algorithms, allow the new iMac to support spatial audio when
playing videos with Dolby Atmos.
Speed and connectivity
As announced by Apple news, the new iMac models feature 2
USB-C Thunderbolt ports that allow you to transfer data at full speed. Wireless
speed is also multiplied thanks to the sixth generation Wi-Fi connection.
New apps on the iMac
The M1 chip and macOS Big Sur operating system take full
advantage of popular apps like Photoshop, Twitter, Microsoft Office, Quicken,
Slack, Affinity Publisher, Zappos, 1Password, and DaVinci Resolve. Thanks to
this, the equipment offers an optimal experience whether it is used as a work
equipment, for entertainment or as a tool for training.
Touch ID integration
Apple news also announces the availability of 3 Magic
Keyboard models to match the color chosen for the iMac. Touch ID integrates
wirelessly into the new keyboard, using a separate security component, which
communicates directly with the Secure Enclave on the M1 chip. Thanks to this,
the fingerprint data is protected in an encrypted channel and allows you to
unlock your Mac or pay with Apple Pay quickly and safely.
Touch ID also allows you to switch users, going from one
profile to another, with just one touch.
In addition to the Magic Keyboard, users can also add a
team-colored Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad.
