It's worth pointing out the speakers on the iMac 27-inch are exactly the same as the previous model, however, they have been improved thanks to Apple's custom-designed silicon.Īn advanced variable EQ, enabled by the audio controller in the Apple T2 Security Chip, provides a much better balance.


That's not only important for your next Zoom meeting but also means this machine does a pretty good job if you want to use it for tasks such as Podcasts. There's also an updated studio-quality three-mic array so your voice sounds crystal clear. Unfortunately, unlike with iPhone or iPad, this clever face recognition tech can't be used to unlock the device with a glance, which is a mighty shame. It's worth noting that this camera can also recognise faces to help boost the way you look on screen by adding light to your features so your expression is always visible on video calls (even if you're sat in-front of a window).

Owners are now treated to a new 1080p FaceTime camera which is definitely an improvement when making those socially distanced video calls. There's also new SSD storage rather than the older Fusion drives which is definitely quicker when saving large files to the desktop and also now means the iMac can be configured with up to 8TB - that's as long as you have a spare £2400 in your bank account.Īlong with this performance boost, the other big changes come to three vital areas of the iMac.

To help speed things up even more is the inclusion of Radeon Pro 5000 series graphics, which bring higher transistor counts, faster clock speeds and improvements in power efficiency.

Every task is performed without the hint of a stutter and even 4K movie editing or high-resolution image crunching in Photoshop won't put this iMac under any strain. We've been using the 10-core model with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive (total cost £3,699) which is clearly a bit of a beast when it comes to performance but it's an absolute joy to have on the desk.

Whereas opting for the top-of-the-line could dramatically extend the lifetime of this all-in-one (provided you're not tempted to upgrade early by that new design whenever it does finally materialise). So, skimping at checkout now might leave you with a computer that struggles to multi-task a few years down the road. There are 6, 8 and 10-core options available so it is really is up to you how much power you think you'll need and how much money you have in the bank.Īs an example, the entry-level machine with a 6-Core Intel processor costs £1,799 but pop the 10-Core in your shopping basket and you'll face a £2,699 bill - and that doesn't include the £500 nano-textured glass.Īnd since only the RAM can be upgraded at-home on your iMac, whatever you pick will need to last the lifetime of the iMac.

Moving inside the aluminium chassis, there's plenty more treats to be found, including new Intel 10th-generation processors, which make this Apple iMac around 65 percent faster than before. True Tone has been a staple in the iPhone and MacBook lineup for a number of years and it's nice to see Apple bringing it to the iMac as it really does help your eyes when staring at the screen for long periods. Thanks to the addition of an Apple-designed T2 chip under the bonnet, the iMac display also now benefits from Apple's True Tone technology, which adjusts the warmth and intensity of the display to match the ambient light in the room. It won't remove reflections entirely (glass is still glass, after all) but it's as good as anything we've ever seen. If you're serious about wanting no-glare on the expansive 27-inch glass display when working, this nano-texture surface – created by etching nano structures into the glass itself – works incredibly well.

While all iMacs ship with a certain amount of anti-reflective coating, these pale in comparison to the new nano-texture process, which was originally developed for Apple's Pro Display XDR, which is favoured by professional photographers and editors. The nano-texture process does cost an additional £500 when buying the iMac, but it's well worth considering if you get fed up with glare and reflections distracting you from what's taking place on the screen.
