It also has a much more compact stand with a new L-shaped profile built from the same design as the body, which enables the display’s angle to be quickly changed. The laptop has a 1080p FaceTime HD monitor in the top bezel, which provides high-quality recording and excellent output in low light.
To complete the premium and simple build, this iMac all-in-one computer includes a new magnetically attached power connector and a beautifully woven 2-metre-long colour-matched cord.

Furthermore, the Apple iMac (2021) has four USB-C connections on the rear, two of which are ordinary USB-C ports and the other two are Thunderbolt ports with higher bandwidth. A power port is also included for charging.
Above everything, the desktop comes in a variety of vibrant colours such as grey, brown, pink, silver, orange, yellow, and purple.
Display
The Apple iMac (2021) features a 24-inch 4.5K retina monitor with a 4480 x 2520 resolution and 11.3 million pixels. It also has True Tone technology, which varies the colour temperature based on the ambient light, resulting in a more realistic viewing experience.
The screen can view up to one billion colours and has a large P3 colour gamut, as well as support for 4K HDR video. This ultra-wide iMac has a brightness of 500 nits and a 21:9 aspect ratio.
Performance
The Apple iMac (2021) features the Apple Silicon M1 processor, a versatile 8-core CPU with an 8-core GPU, a unified memory architecture, and the 16-core Apple Neural Engine.
Apple claims that the CPU is 85 per cent quicker and the GPU is twice as fast as the previous iteration. Furthermore, the image signal processor in the M1 chip and the Neural Engine improves camera image efficiency by reducing noise, increasing dynamic range, and improving auto exposure and white balance.
This Apple iMac has 16GB of onboard memory and up to 2TB of SSD storage to back up its output.
The iMac (2021 M1) also runs macOS 11 Big Sur, which tends to beautify the computer’s gui and gives users quick access to monitor and configure its functions. This current update of the world’s most sophisticated desktop operating system includes new improvements to main applications such as Safari, Messages, and Maps, as well as new privacy tools.
Audio
The sound system on the Apple iMac (2021) is impressive. It has a six-speaker sound system with two pairs of force-cancelling woofers mounted side by side for excellent bass response, as well as Dolby Atmos virtual surround sound support. There are three built-in microphones that form directional beams to catch your voice more distinctly during FaceTime calls.
Accessories
The iMac 2021 M1 model comes with a Magic Keyboard with TouchID and is available in the same latest colours as the desktop computer. This is the first time Apple has extended Touch ID to an external keyboard, enabling you to open the device with little other than your finger.
At the top, left, and right of the keyboard, there is a soft key with a control key. The Numpad is located underneath the top function tab, and the touchID is located on the top right-hand side.
The Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad are both included in the pack.
Finally, the Apple iMac 2021 M1 supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi wireless networking as well as Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connectivity for seamless sharing and connectivity.
