M4 iMac is here! GOOD AND BAD NEWS!

[@MarkEllisReviews]

You head up the iMac team at Apple. What's the first thing you'll do with the next version?

[@MrShalvayez]

Front facing charging port on the mouse. 500 GB SSD for base models. A black model. Maybe slots on the sides for iPhones and iPads.

[@nethervoicevideos]

I'm still using my 2017, 27" iMac, and love the fact that it allows me to upgrade the RAM myself through a slot in the back. Apple will never bring that feature back, and since it's still going strong, I'm holding on to this model. I also like the classic design better than the newer generation. The color of the computer has never been a selling point for me (same with iPhones).

[@filmgirlLisa]

Agreed. Im debating the ability to add memory myself vs the increased CPU/GPU/core speeds.

[@cmryals]

Same here! I am having a hard time leaving my silver-black aesthetic and accessible RAM. The new Mac mini has piqued my interest.

[@mauriciodomingues5146]

Same, I've made sure I bought the last iMac from the Intel Generation which you can bump to up to 128gb Ram. In my line of work RAM memory is essential, and even the fastest new iMac doesn't really cut it. It's mind boggling Apple is not thinking about us when making new iMacs, been using them for almost 20 years but in the future I will only be able to use the Studio or Pro, which comes with a pretty hefty tag.

[@appstratum9747]

Totally agree! I wasn't sold on the new design and certainly not the colours. I'm writing this on a classic 27" iMac like yours of which I still love the design. And with another sitting on the desk over my left shoulder. Both were upgraded to 32Gb of memory by me. Both are going strong. Screen quality is still excellent. ;-)

[@MrEiniweini]

Mine has screen burn in. I am giving it away to family. It was great but it can't be slaved as a monitor. So it is useless at the end of its CPU life. I purchased a Samsung 5K monitor for about $400 USD and can link two computers to it (my laptop and PC). I would never buy the all in one again even though I loved it. I would prefer the M4 Mini at the price point, even with adding the $400 monitor and $200 for mouse and keyboard it comes in cheaper and you can use the monitor/mouse/keypad going forward. She was a good ship while I sailed her.

@@panorama4526 I fear so. I've been waiting for the larger screen since the M-chips arrived. I reckon we'll be waiting longer still. So Apple is going to get less of my money now and I'm going M4 min + BenQ screen. Alas. That's about a grand they've not got off me. Oopsy?

I had a 24in 16G m3 iMac for about 6 months. I really liked it except for the screen. Just too small, a 27in would be perfect. Two weeks ago I traded the iMac towards the new M4 Mini pro. I ordered a Dell U2723QE and find it to be almost as good as the Studio Display (SD). The SD was nice but not nice enough for 2x the cost of the Dell. So at this point even a bigger screen iMac won't make me go back.

Mac Mini for me. I can get a 32 or 34 inch curved monitor. Easy to upgrade.

[@paulwoodward8265]

I have a mini with 34" curved samsung monitor. It is not the same experience. Trouble is text rendering is really not good in macOS on non-retina displays. Massive disappointment. I love the screen real estate, and for most productivity stuff it's OK, but if I'm coding, I'll use the iMac because it renders text so wonderfully. Nobody makes decent/cheap high pixel density screens. If you buy yourself a Studio display for the Mac Mini it starts to look very expensive.

A 24 inch screen is way too small IMO. It should be at least 27" but 30" or 32" would be so much better.

I just purchased the M4 base model iMac today (in pink!!!) to replace my 2015 i5 desktop. That thing served our house well for almost 10 years but has become as slow as dial-up. For light use in the home office I think it’ll serve my husband and I well. The build quality of these things and the software upgrades since I last bought will be a welcome change and, personally, I find a 24” screen fine for my purposes. Cost in Canada is $1699 prior to the 12% tax we get dinged with.

[@SwordsandBrushes]

Thank you for the video, im certainly looking to upgrade my existing 2019 imac model but i am not going any less than a 27 inch after using it all these years. 24 inch is ok if you want to do an email, word document or want to play solitaire at home like my mother but as a creative who likes mulpltiple windows open at the same time 27 is the very minimum i would consider.

[@calebwhiteknives]

I just upgraded to the M4, 10 core after a brief, unfortunate 10 year dalliance with PC for some work-related reasons. Patiently waiting for it to get here after not buying a Mac for 20 years. It's bound to be better than my 2005 Intel iMac...which actually still starts, opens programs, and connects to the internet..after 20 years, lol!

[@msmoniz]

I usually keep my iMac 6-7 years. Being that my current M1 I bought in 2021 that one replaced a 2015(2013 refresh) Intel iMac, for my home use as my main desktop, media server to all my AppleTVs and virtual amp/pedal modeler for my guitar playing, it's plenty powerful enough even at only 8GB of RAM and never really chokes up is still running just nicely for me.

I've been waiting on the upgrade, and ordered one straight away after introducing the M4 iMac. I just love the versatility and design of it.. Upgrading from a topped up (specced) 2020 27 inch, however it feels a little slow now with my editing big RAW photos, and lately I've started to learn 4K video editing. I've read people feels it's quite a downgrade in size, however after a week or two, the 24 inch feels normal.. Can't wait to feel the speed difference.

[@pkc4166]

Same…. I know people are freaking out that they can’t get a bigger screen with this new iMac, but I’ve had 27 and 24 and it’s so easy to get used to the 24. It doesn’t feel like there’s a whole lot of difference once you start working with it and I like the fact that it doesn’t take up as much space in my home desk office.

My guess is you’re needing more RAM. Back in the day you could upgrade your own RAM at lower cost. This turned those 27 inch iMacs into professional machines. But Apple don’t want pro users using iMacs now it seems. Personally I’m going to go for an M4 pro, one of the BenQ monitors that Mark has been saying are possibly as good as, or better than the Apple Studio displays.

Can not downgrade to the 24 inch screen. I am with you, would jump at a 27 IMac like apparently many others. So it looks like the new Mac mini pro with the upcoming BenQ 5K 27 inch monitor. Maybe add the Blue Ant SoundBlade. RIP IMac.

[@DavidJones-kb3bd]

So I am one of those folks waiting for the big iMac. I have just upgraded my 16 inch M1 MacBook Pro to the M4, but I just can't part with the bigger screen. I also caught that comment when John T claimed it looked good on the Big screen, and I just laughed. For those of us who like the big layout, I just don't see parting with the iMac. I saw the M4 Mini and will have to look at the specs compared to the M4 iMac. I wondered if they were pushing us down the Studio Display pathway, but I don't think the Studio Display has some of the new features of the iMac screen (eg, camera that can readily display the table you are working on). If the specs on the Mac mini aren't as good as the most powerful iMac, well, I guess I will be waiting a while! At least I can still boot up Windows easily on the Intel iMac!

[@HeyNiagraFalls]

Mac Mini here as well. Had several iMacs and no doubt really nice. That was the way to go then - but now, no. Nice to have 5K - but the 2.7K 1440 Asus 27 inch monitor works well for me and is Apple default monitor setting. Not a designer, not an editor - just consumer. If an upgrade is in order, just get another Mac Mini with more whatever . M2 works fine - btw 4K doesn't work well for accuracy in fonts. 5K or 2.7K, 1440, Display Port not HDMI.

An excellent assessment and very pertinent for me, so thanks for posting this review. I have a late 2014 iMac 27" with 5K retina display. It has worked faultlessly since I got it but can't update the OS any more, so I'm stuck on Mac OS Big Sur v.11.7.10. It has 16GB of RAM and a 3.2TB Fusion drive, and as we all know failure of the Fusion drive is a matter of when, not if. I didn't see a need to move to the new 24" iMac when it launched, as I really wanted the larger screen and a 5K display. Like an awful lot of Mac users, I was hoping Apple were going to announce something about a larger iMac ...... but sadly they didn't. I do need to replace my iMac so are considering either the M4 24" iMac, or the M4 Mac Mini and a 27" 5K Studio Display. I'm not sure if the extra £550 for the second option would really be worth it, so I'm going to have to visit an Apple retail outlet and compare the two side by side before making my final decision.

[@pokeyt9241]

Ordered the M4 iMac today! Upgrade from M1. Going from silver to blue this time for something different.

[@erickbeaudry]

Great overview and video. It had been bugging me for a while that each time I wanted to replace the computer part of the iMac I had to scrap a good monitor., so when Apple decided to stop producing a 27 inch, well that firmed up my decision to go Mac mini. Still waiting to hear about an updated one, if only with the M4. The price reduction in Canada is only for the low end model, however if you want 4 ports and more cores then it's still the same price as before. So for me it's no to the iMac. It looks stunning though mine has its back to the wall, but a Mac mini will save me money in the long run and allow me to get either the same display with the studio display or try an ultra wide. Which is sad as my first Mac was the iBook but when it came to replace it, the iBook had been replaced by the MacBook Air at a high price. The iMac wasn't just the all in one, it was at first a good value computer. Now it's too expensive.

I have a question. I’m considering buying an iMac with the M4 chip (10-core CPU, 10-core GPU), 16GB RAM, and 256GB SSD. I’m wondering whether it would be better to upgrade to 24GB RAM for future-proofing or go for the 512GB SSD instead. I already have two external SSDs (Samsung T5 and T7), and I keep most of my files on them. I mainly need the computer to run my business-I’m not a professional user, but I do some light photo editing. I know that not long ago, everyone said 8GB was enough, and now it’s 16GB, but since this isn’t something I plan to replace in just a year, I want to make the right decision and get a setup that will work well for a long time

Funny i stumbled across this video, I was just in the thoughts of upgrading my 2013 intel Imac 27"! haha. And...i have been wondering why i did not see any 27 " Imacs around any longer. Since i havent at all followed the development the recent years and have been extremely satisfied with my Imac for all these years. I was starting to worry however that it might die on me one of these days, so started lookin into what to get at this point. At Apple since i do some photo and video editing i was adviced to get a M4 mac mini and an external screen. The guy at the store even suggested i could use my old 27" as the external screen for the Mac mini...searching for details on the internet i discovered quickly that was not the case sadly for different reasons im sure you are aware of as well already ;) And now having both had suggestions for either a Macbook pro m4, or a M4 mac mini with a external screen, or an Imac M4 it seem i kind of end up at the same price whatever i DO get in the end. Around 2700-3300 EU here in Sweden. I do really love the idea of an imac though...and if it IS ok and totally fine for the editing i do in the next 10 years or so, it might be worth it for me to upgrade to one. If its stupid and il get more for my money buying a mac mini m4 and a good screen for the same price. That might be the way to go. What would you suggest :)? /Martin.

I've got a 2021 M1 iMac and maxed it out with 16Gb or RAM plus the 2Tb SSD, the one thing I was hoping for was a bigger internal storage option, even at Apples prices. As for the RAM, after almost 4 years I could go back to the 32Gb of RAM my 2012 had and I used until it died in early 2021.

[@paulwoodward8265]

M4 might not be massive bump over M3 (although 20% more cores in here, so that's a thing), but getting 16GB RAM as standard IS massive. And it's £100 cheaper. This is much better value than the outgoing model. If you were on the fence before, just buy this thing. As an M3 owner (16GB/512), I won't be upgrading - but I kind of wish I'd waited for this one.

dude, iMac is so sleek, I had no idea it was 24 inch. damn. I'm not a customer or ever will be, but it sure is tempting.

[@paul28177]

for me i wish they would have a HDMI in so it can also be used as a monitor for a console as well... i also wish they had apple tv built in so it could be used as a tv... i know it has the app but from what I understand it doesn't work with the remote

[@kubrickkane]

I def want one as soon as I can afford one.

[@spinnetti]

Still got my 27" i7 (16gb video card)..... New one has no bootcamp and no 27" screen, so nope, not doing it. Just got a mint used M1 iMac today for the kid for $300 with 4 ports and touch id. Can't beat that! When they come out with a 27"+ imac again, I'll get one but otherwise, I already have my last imac :(

[@TroyArn]

what year was your 27inch, and does it still run? I have a 2013 model , put Catalina on it, and it runs like crap. 8 gigs ram and can barely run safari. the os before works fine, but is insecure because apple stopped all security patches for it...

[@techtipsuk]

My only issue with the iMac is the size, just wish they'd do a 27 or even a 32in.

[@Daeys2411]

I just bought the Mac mini 😃 it has 16gb ram at base that is just crazy !

[@lindhartsen]

After the Mac Mini announcement it's interesting how the base model of the iMac has fewer cores by comparison.

[@mattpacker4372]

your the best tech reviewer ! care to donate the m4 orange I Mac... 🧡😁

[@livelifefamilyzone]

I wish they made it 27 inch, would have been a great upgrade

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

The base 16gb model with 512gb storage (crap) in Aus will cost $2799 give or take, and the mac mini m4 with the same specs is $999. So if people want to go the apple route, you may as well save that $$1800 and buy a great big monitor to go with it and still have change. Yes the apple monitor is nice, but not large enough for that money. All base machines should be 1TB as well. I'm on the fence on getting one. If you're into gfx and video editing, then the M4 mini pro with 12 core cpu and 16gpu will still save you $600 toward a large monitor. Good to see they start at 16gb anyway, I never saw any imac in my Aus stores come with more than 8gb so I steered away.

[@Beefers26]

The new iMac looks damn sexy BUT I'm still happy with my 2017, 27" iMac, which is still fast, reliable and allows me to upgrade the RAM myself via a slot in the back. If Apple ever brings out a larger screen iMac again, I will probably go for that to enjoy the much faster processors out there. Until then ......

[@T10107]

Is the M4 IMac 60 Hz?

[@Isengardtom]

Yes - screen is 60Hz

[@T10107]

@ I don’t mind 60 Hz as much on IMacs compared to touch devices, but I’d still rather get a Mac mini with a 120 Hz Oled monitor vs an iMac with a 60 Hz monitor. Especially at the price of the mac mini. Mac Mini - $599 + Apple Touch ID keyboard/mouse - $149/$79 = $827. $472 left over for a monitor.

[@egymagnet]

Last time I was this early, GTA 6 wasn't even released.

[@rickkarrer8370]

I wish they'd do a 27" iMac, but mostly for my clients that want something bigger than 24 inches, and have only ever used iMacs, so they stuggle with Mac minis or laptops and monitor. I work with dozens of people don't understand that a monitor is not a computer that just happens to work with her laptop.

[@flappospammo]

24 inch more than big enough , I’m stuck on a MacBook Pro 16 , 8 inches smaller is a LOT smaller , believe me !! ASD is £1500 alone and just a 27 inch .. iMac is an incredible bargain

[@movetoparaguay]

As a video producer I need a 27 inch model

[@johnwells8685]

It’s it worth spending the extra for a M4 or just get a M3 as the prices are dropping now and I can get a M3 for just over a grand now (£1049) is the M4 worth the extra £250ish quid???

[@Jan96106]

I agree. I just got a Mac Air M3 15 inch at a reduced price because the M4's are coming soon. 16 RAM 512 SSD.

[@Isengardtom]

I think I will upgrade my Blue M1 to a green M4 with more memory and storage. I had 16GG of memory but made the mistake of only getting 256GB of storage and it’s starting to get a bit restrictive

[@paulwoodward8265]

I'm always amazed that folk regard the 16" macbook screen as absolutely fine, but completely lose it when asked to use a 24" iMac. Seriously, it's OK. You can work on it. You can also plug in a secondary display, or use an iPad. Yes, I'd buy a 27" version in a heartbeat, but it wouldn't be life changing. I think this M4 iMac lineup is broadly fine for 'normals'. * They should just ship it with the trackpad, and ditch the awful mouse. * The base model should have touch ID, as that's life changing. * There should be a way to get to at least one of the TB ports without peering round the back of the computer. * They should make a proper Pro iMac for all the design shops. Pro chip, dual OLED 120Hz, FaceID, all the fancy iPad Pro/macbook Pro bells and whistles. This is a bit niche, but they'll sell way more than the Mac Pro.

[@brinta2868]

@paulwoodward8265 Different sizes for different situations. I like the portability of my 13" Macbook Air, but when I use it at home I plug it into a 28" 4K screen. My 6" iPhone screen is fine outside the house, but at home I'd rather browse and watch KZbin on my iPad. Nintendo Switch portable gaming is fun, but at home... docked to a 55" tv. My travel dildo is... oh nevermind.

[@aaronthedj12]

I wanted a compact one. 20-21.5” like before. So, I may look at another Mac mini. Then I can have the screen size I want. Maybe I can use my 11” iPad. Hmm

[@joALDIgut]

I'll buy one when they bring a 27 inch screen.

[@pushthebutton4602]

I have a samsung 49” screen so it’s difficult to go too Apple agian, use to have iMac 27. so Im on Pc that can run Unreal.

[@EskimoTuffers]

m4 imac sounds great, although not 24inch, prefer the bigger screen 27inch , so i guess. i will be upgrading into mini and montior really frustating

[@Buddeh23]

Hi Mark 👋🏾

[@ladydipset88]

Im keeping my purple M1 iMac until it dies. Nice review though!
