Dive Deeper

iMac (M4) was Apple's third-generation Apple Silicon iMac, which is an all-in-one desktop built for creativity & productivity and the home office.

Featuring the M4 chip, it started with 16GB of memory and a 256GB SSD and introduced the first set of refreshed iMac colours since the first Apple Silicon iMac was introduced in 2021.

iMac is a staple of Apple's lineup, introduced in 1998 with the iMac G3. The M4 iMac also features a colourful enclosure, and even took them a step further with a colour-matched power cable, usb-c cables and peripherals.

The Mac comes with a Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse, which can be upgraded to a Magic Trackpad.

Launching at £1,299 in the UK in late October 2024, Apple increased the price of this iMac model in June 2026 due to the rising cost of computer components including memory and storage.

For its final four months on sale it cost an extra £200, priced at £1,499.
