Apple Releases New Mac with M4 And Apple Intelligence

Apple announced today a new iMac including the new M4 chip and Apple Intelligence, and released the highly anticipated AI advanced technology Apple Intelligence for all users with compatible devices.

According to the press release, the new iMac is 2.1x faster for demanding tasks like gaming and photo editing and 1.7x faster for daily activities. The screen measures 24 inches and incorporates 4.5K Retina display technology. The M4 chip allows the new device to integrate AI features, including Apple Intelligence, and access to ChatGPT.

“With M4 and Apple Intelligence, gorgeous new colors that pop in any space, an advanced 12MP Center Stage camera, and a new nano-texture glass display option, it’s a whole new era for iMac,” said John Ternus, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering.

The new models—launched in seven colors: silver, blue, green, pink, purple, orange, and yellow—are available for pre-order, and the prices start at $1,299 for its standard model with 16GB of memory. It also includes a 12MP camera with Center Stage technology, which automatically adjusts to keep users in the center of the screen. Apple said the new devices will be available on November 8th.

Last week, Apple released the new iOS 18 with Apple Intelligence and ChatGPT integration in beta mode for developers. The upgrade is now available for users with the iPhone 16 models and iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max, and iPads and Macs that can upgrade to iPad 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1.

“Apple Intelligence introduces a new era for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, delivering brand-new experiences and tools that will transform what our users can accomplish,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO in the press release.

Users with devices compatible with the new technology can now request access in Settings to get added to the waitlist. Users are likely to get access within the same day according to the developer’s previous experience, as reported by CNBC.
