Apple slims down iMac in latest update
At Tuesday’s Apple Special Event, the company introduced a redesigned iMac that Apple senior vice president Phil Schiller called “the most beautiful Mac we have ever made.”
While the familiar almuninum design remains, the iMac is much thinner than its predecessor. The company reengineered the iMac’s internals and display in order to make the iMac thinner and lighter. Apple says the display system is 45 percent thinner and sheds 8 pounds.
Apple’s Phil Schiller shows off the latest iMac on Tuesday.
The new iMacs are available in 21.5- and 27-inch models, with displays that support native resolutions of 1920 by 1080 pixels and 2560 by 1440 pixels, respetively. Previous models of the iMacs had a 2-milimeter air gap between the glass and the display; that gap was removed in the new iMac. Apple laminates the display directly to the glass, and the company says the full lamination improves optical quality.
We will update this report as more details are released. Stay tuned.
