Apple Announces New iMac With M3 Chip

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced an updated version of the 24-inch iMac featuring the all-new M3 chip.

The iMac with M3 is up to 2x faster than the previous iMac, which featured the M1 chip. For those upgrading from an Intel based iMac, Apple says that the new iMac is up to 2.5x faster than previous 27-inch models and 4.5x faster than previous 21.5-inch models.

The iMac now supports up to 24GB of memory and the M3 chip's all-new GPU brings hardware-accelerated mesh shading and ray tracing to the iMac for the first time.

The new machine also features Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. It continues to be available in the same green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, and silver color options as the previous model, but it comes with new color-matched wallpapers.

The iMac starts at the same $1,299 price of the previous model. It is available to order today, with orders arriving to customers on Tuesday, November 7.

No M3 Max or M3 Pro for the iMac?
I think that I shall pass on this.

Now I want M3 MacBook Air

iMac is thin to have M3 Pro Or Max

“It’s the perfect size and resolution to replace both the 4K and the 5K Intel based models.”

There goes all the hope that 27” iMac users had left, at least for a good while.

Sorry guys!

“Perfect size to replace both the 21.5” and 27” iMacs”

Sorry guys!

24” to me is completely useless. And by today’s standards that’s tiny.

Whatever the reason, no sale from me. I will still be using my I7 Intel iMac.

But they said that it was huge. LOL
I had to chuckle when I heard that.

THAT'S IT???

 

[oofio2461]

it's the same product with a new chip, nothing new.

 

[ignatius345]

Ick. He said the current size is the perfect replacement for the 4K and 5K iMacs. 👎

 

[Black.Infinity]

I really wonder why we did not get the M3 MacBook Air. Can somebody please explain?

 

[tonyr6]

Was not expecting an M3 iMac.

 

[blairh]

I can’t believe we still haven’t gotten a 32” iMac.

 

[AlexJaye]

This 24" crap does not replace a 27" iMac.

 

[entropys]

Perfect size to replace both the 21.5” and 27” iMacs

keep saying that Apple, but it won’t make it true. It ain’t a 5K 27 inch display.

 

[fathergll]

THAT'S IT???

SCARY FAST

 

[brofkand]

I am sad that they've let the iMac apparently die on the vine. The new design is beautiful but we need bigger display sizes.

At least the Mac mini is a first citizen machine, or will be as soon as it is updated to M3.

 

[garrick2007]

oh my goodness... shot on iPhone.... this is mind blowing

I really wonder why we did not get the M3 MacBook Air. Can somebody please explain?

Because the 15” Air just came out a couple of months ago

 

[tonyr6]

I really wonder why we did not get the M3 MacBook Air. Can somebody please explain?

Because it was just released M2A Air a few months ago would have ticked off people who just bought one.

 

[RealE]

No M3 Pro, no M3 Max, no USB-C mouse or keyboard. This feels like an afterthought of a product.

Edit: same exact colors, same 8gb starting RAM, same pitiful 256gb starting SSD. This feels not just like an afterthought but an insult to those of us who like large screen desktops.

 

[azentropy]

Still just freaking 8GB in all three “standard“ configuration. That is indefensible at this point.

Usb c accessories?
