Apple's latest iMac 24-inch along with the new iPad Pro 2021 plus the Apple TV 4K with redesigned Siri Remote are all up for preorder, with the company confirming release dates for its latest hardware. Announced earlier in the month, the new iMac 24-inch is Apple's most colorful since the iMac G3, though if you want the biggest choice of finishes you'll need to shop with Apple online.
Apple's first big hardware launch of 2021 is headed to preorder tomorrow, with the order books for the first Apple M1-powered iMac opening. Bringing not only Apple Silicon but an array of colors not seen since the iMac G3, the 24-inch iMac also brings with it a potentially tough decision for macOS users.
Earlier this month we got a peek at the next new iPad collection, including new iPad Pro in two sizes. In a slightly odd fashion, Apple revealed their for-sale date before revealing solid release dates. As such, we don't yet know exactly when the new iPad Pro 11-inch and iPad Pro 12.9-inch models will be shipping. A tip today suggests we'll see said devices shipped in late May.
Apple's first event of the year delivered both some of its smallest products and its largest, with AirTags through to iMac making their debut at the "Spring Loaded" launch. With plenty packed into a one hour video stream, handily there are video overviews of all four of the main product announcements to help you decide which might be worth opening your wallet for.
Expectations were high for Apple's first event of 2021, and while the "Spring Loaded" launch today may not have had new AirPods Pro or a new MacBook Pro, that's not to say that plenty wasn't squeezed into the hour-long stream. New iMac, new Apple TV, new iPad Pro, and the long-anticipated confirmation of AirTags was certainly enough to fill sixty minutes - with some news left over, too.
Apple has revealed its biggest iMac update in years, with the M1 chipset ousting Intel, an incredibly thin design, and a 24-inch 4.5K Retina display along with an array of colors. Up for preorder now, we can walk you through the multiple options from the base 2021 24-inch iMac at $1,299, all the way up to the most powerful all-in-one Mac.
Just as the rumors foretold, Apple revealed a new iMac during its Spring Loaded event today. As Apple spent 2021's early months phasing out older iMac models, we expected the company to introduce a new iMac at some point this year, and now the new all-in-one has been confirmed with Apple's own in-house silicon at its core. The new iMac will use Apple's M1 chip, and it'll be available in an array of different colors.
There's a new wireless keyboard from Apple this week with a collection of features that make previous models look obsolete. This new Magic Keyboard (revealed and released in the year 2021) has its own Touch ID sensor - meaning you'll be able to log in to your iMac (or whatever computer you're using*) with your fingerprint.
If you're sitting on some Apple products you don't use anymore, then you might like to know that Apple has tweaked the trade-in values of a rather large swathe of devices. The devices that have seen their prices change include everything from iMacs and iPad Pros to MacBooks and even some models of iPhone. While you might expect that Apple has reduced trade-in prices across the board, trade-in values are actually going up in some cases.
Apple's upcoming iMac refresh is expected to super-size the display, with more leaks underscoring an increase in panel size is on the cards for the new all-in-one. Believed to be in the pipeline for later in 2021, the new iMac looks set to mark the further expansion of Apple Silicon, the company's homegrown chips.
Apple's M1 chips have definitely been hot items in the computing world but their availability has been limited to two kinds of devices only. The M1 MacBooks and M1 Mac minis cater to just one segment of Apple's customers and still leave some desktop users, particularly Apple's Mac Pro and iMac customers. The latter might finally get their due if the latest beta version of macOS Big Sur 11.3 is any indication, hinting at upcoming iMacs running on a slightly new M1 processor.
There's been something of an iMac purge happening over at Apple lately. At the beginning of the month, Apple made two configurations of the 21.5-inch iMac unavailable, and now the company has delisted those two models entirely. That, obviously, suggests that Apple has straight up discontinued the two models in question, thinning out its iMac offerings before an expected refresh later this year.
