Apple's New 24-Inch iMac Shown Off in Early Unboxing

Update: The early unboxing video was taken down, but other unboxing and first impression videos (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/05/18/m1-imac-unboxing-videos/) are now available.








The new 24-inch iMac (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/imac/) doesn't officially launch until this Friday, May 21, but an early unboxing of the machine has been shared on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/mvG10JJ0FXE).





(https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2021/05/imac-2021-box.jpg)<div class="center-wrap">The &zwnj;iMac&zwnj; unboxing video was made private subsequent to this story.</div>


The video from Gadget Guy is in Cantonese, but it offers an up-close look at the yellow version of the &zwnj;iMac&zwnj; including how the machine and its color-matched accessories are packed in the box, how the magnetic power cord attaches to the rear of the &zwnj;iMac&zwnj;, and the Touch ID (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/touch-id/) button on the Magic Keyboard.





Additional topics include a look at using the Globe key to change between keyboard languages, installing iOS apps on the M1-powered &zwnj;iMac&zwnj;, the side-oriented headphone jack, some quick benchmarks using Geekbench and Cinebench that show essentially the same performance as other M1 (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/m1/) Macs, disk speed tests approaching 3000 MB/s for both read and write, and more.





Customers who placed early &zwnj;M1&zwnj; &zwnj;iMac&zwnj; orders have seen their orders begin shipping (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/05/12/m1-imac-orders-shipped-may-21-delivery/) ahead of Friday's targeted launch date, but we should be seeing press reviews hitting as soon as Tuesday morning.
