Apple Unveils New iMac With M4 Chip and AI-Capabilities

Among a lineup of new announcements, Apple has unveiled the all-new iMac equipped with a powerful M4 chip and Apple Intelligence features. The M4 chip means greater performance for the already advanced desktop computer, including 1.7x faster daily productivity tasks and more than twice as fast high-intensity tasks like photo editing and gaming.

For today’s content creators, the M4 offers 2.1x faster editing performance on apps like Adobe Photoshop1 and Adobe Premiere Pro. For gamers, up to 2x higher frame rates than the M1 iMac will enable smooth and high-fidelity gameplay. Additionally, the 12MP Center Stage camera will facilitate automatically adjusting camera focussing and maneuvering.

Most excitingly, the new M4 chip is optimized for Apple Intelligence, which according to Apple, aims to transform how “users work, communicate, and express themselves while protecting their privacy.” One of the key AI-powered features is Writing Tools, a suite of features offering refinement the writing of users with helpful summarization, rewriting, and proofreading tools. Apple Intelligence also enables broader use of Siri across different apps, as well as written and spoken prompts.
