512 GB seems good
Why o why
Why Apple don’t offer at least pro chip with better GPU in this
Such a waste of that compact and beautiful all in one

wow. what a disappointment. Year and year again Apple keeps disappointing with new products. It looks like they only think that iPhone, Macbook air/pro and watch is the only core products. Nothing else. Whatever they say about anything else, is not what they show with their actions. Take services for example, that is an embarrassment. How they even thing they are competing is beyond my imagination. I was planing to upgrade o iPad mini7, that is unlikely; I was planing to get new iMac - that is unlikely; I was planing to get new aripods pro - unlikely. What is left? mini/studio or another macbook with Apple display? But who would buy that at current prices. meh.. sorry for the rant.
The only reason I believe tomorrow will cap it all off is the Mac Mini. Apple will not ship both M4 & M4 Pro version on the Mac Mini without showing off the M4 Max.
I am still 100% confident that tomorrow will be the final day of Apple press releases.
they are waiting until that one employee comes to the office and have time to upgrade iMac to iMac pro. It will be black, 30 inch, pro, and will cost twice the price for bare minimum..Why o why

Yeah well that was a mechanical hard drive, which remains much cheaper than the fast storage in the iMac.
I agree that 256GB is a low amount, but you can easily purchase external storage for relatively cheap and just plug it in. An external SSD is also much faster than the mechanical hard drive you mentioned.
I think so - now £1299 starting rather than (I believe) £1199 starting for M3.
For the 16GB and 512GB combo, which is what I got last year as an M3, it is now £300 cheaper. (£1,699 now for M4 vs £1,999 that I paid LY). That is good to see even though it does not benefit me!
Also now 10 core CPU vs 8 core CPU LY and 6 efficiency cores vs 4 LY.

It's still listing the M3 model. The M4 isn't live yet.
Bet they do one product/day all week, the imac owns today
Ooh these new colors look good! Everything looks more vibrant besides the orange, ironically, the color I want the most.
Oh come on man, some people don't want to have to buy an external 4TB SSD for their computer. For monetary reasons, or aesthetic.
Regardless it's not about whether the problem is "easily solved" It's why is apple overcharging so much.
This is one of those while a good update on specs and price it seems to be missing the fundamental picture. If people wanted to update to an iMac at this size then would have done it a long time ago. More specs wont make that segment budge, I even wonder if this iMac would even tempt or target m1 iMac users. It all boils down to size or to be more precise the lack of size.
Nevermind, the base model is 4 + 4 arrangement with 4 performance and 4 efficiency cores.

was hoping for a 27 inch or hell maybe even larger why not
Question is: will I finally be able to game on this imac ? Another question is when will the AAA gaming publishers port their games to the Mac?
Apple today announced that it has updated the 24-inch iMac with the M4 chip, which debuted in the iPad Pro earlier this year. This upgrade comes around one year after the previous iMac with the M3 chip was released.
As expected, the M4 chip in the iMac is available with up to a 10-core CPU and up to a 10-core GPU. Apple says the iMac with the M4 chip is up to 1.7x faster for daily productivity tasks, and up to 2.1x faster for demanding workflows like photo editing and gaming, compared to the iMac with the M1 chip. In the iPad Pro, the M4 chip is up to 25% faster than the M3 chip, and this year-over-year improvement should be similar for the iMac.
The new iMac comes with a minimum of 16GB of RAM, compared to 8GB for the previous base model, and it can be configured with up to 32GB of RAM and up to 1TB of SSD storage.
For the first time, the iMac can be configured with a nano-texture display, which has a special coating that better scatters light to further minimize glare on the screen.
Apple has upgraded the iMac with a 12-megapixel front camera with Center Stage support that keeps you centered in the frame. There is also a Desk View feature that shows your face and an overhead view of your desk at the same time.
Alongside the new iMac, Apple announced updated versions of the Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad. The accessories are now equipped with USB-C charging ports, whereas the previous models used Lightning. Apple includes the Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard in the box with the iMac, and the Magic Trackpad is an optional upgrade.
The new iMac is available to pre-order starting today, and it will be available beginning Friday, November 8. In the U.S. pricing starts at $1,299. Available color options include green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, and silver.
This story will be updated with more details.

Dang, they killed the Green color. The teal that used to be on the back made for such an awesome combination…
The iMac is the same price as the previous iMac with better specs, it’s a solid upgrade, what’s the problem?
