Encouraging that the price is the same, even with the RAM upgrade.
Got a tip for us?

So they didn’t keep the starting price at 1199. Specs are still pretty good.
Edit:
Sorry, I made a mistake, I was in the education store.
Increase in Ram for the same price is a welcome addition.

Sure wish they'd make a larger one again
100 %. I would buy one for my office on release day!
Gotta say the pricing is pretty decent for a change on the new m4 imacs.
Yes, I can confirm I see 16 GB RAM too now for $1299. This is a nice machine really.
Good to see starting price remains at $1,299. Bodes well for other Macs.
Anyone know how the pricing compares to what was available yesterday with 8GB RAM?
HUH. Quelle surprise. Happy me.
I hate to be that guy but 256GB of storage? Really?
That is probably an Akamai-cache link that hasn’t refreshed in all zones yet. 10 minutes later, the link goes to an M4 iMac page.
Normally i'd agree, but external storage is the way to go. Externals are getting close to the insane speeds as internal.
in europe the m3 base model was starting from €1619, the m4 base model now starts from €1519
People on here jumping the gun saying only 8GB. 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣
Just buy an external 4TB SSD that does 2000MB/s. Just be happy Apple gave us 16GB RAM.
16 GB Base
24 GB +$200
32 GB +$400
So $200 for 8 GB increments....

I know there's a lot of good stuff here... but really, 256GB storage standard still? and still $200 USD to upgrade to 512 GB... C'mon Apple, that upgrade costs you so little, throw us that bone.
Does yellow look different from the previous gen? Looks less warm and more like an Easter yellow.
IIRC base price was $1299 for M3 8 GB / 256 GB too right?
Cuz right now Best Buy has them for $1499?!
Great to see M4 starting at 16 GB (albeit not for the iPad Pro), but the 8 GB upgrade to 24 GB is still $200.
EDIT:
After looking into it further, it appears the $1499 model is using the 10-core M3, although they don't actually specify that in the link title.

Personally would love it if they make one with the M4 pro chip but with this screen size
I know that's perhaps a bit strange but I would love to see that
or this display separate so I can pair it with a Mac mini. I am not interested in the overpriced studio display.
Nice color with that green btw

It’s a desktop computer, so just hook up a 4TB external SSD that does 2000MB/s. This problem is easily solved. RAM is something that you cannot expand on the Mac.
Well, 256GB storage is comically low still. The eMachines desktop from 2006 I used back in the day came with a 320GB hard drive.
That is truly incredible ...
The component cost difference here for them is probably about $10, perhaps even less
512GB NVMe sticks, retail packed, are like $30 on Amazon
