When it comes to the iMac, Apple's focus has shifted to the M4 iMac. At the current time, the M4 iMac comes in one size option, 24-inch, and an array of "fresh shades" of Blue, Green, Pink, Silver, Orange, Yellow, and Purple.
The 24-inch iMac was first announced in April 2021, and it came with the M1 chip. In October 2024, Apple refreshed this lineup with the M4 chip, making the new desktops up to 1.7x faster than the previous generation. The new iMac comes with a minimum of 16GB of RAM, compared to 8GB for the previous base model, and there's a new nano-texture display option.
Additionally, the new M4 iMac has the same external design as the previous models, with an extremely thin and compact design compared to prior Intel models. The machine measures in at just 11.5 millimeters thick. It also comes in seven colors, with color matched accessories.
With the 24-inch iMac replacing the lower-end 21.5-inch iMac and the higher-end 27-inch iMac having finally been discontinued, this guide is now focusing on deals for the 24-inch iMac in all of its configurations. In this guide, you'll find the best currently available prices for the iMac at major Apple resellers including Adorama, Amazon, B&H Photo, Best Buy, and MacMall (which is now integrated with TigerDirect). We'll be tracking the best prices for all iMac models, focusing on the newest iterations of each computer.
24-inch iMac (2024)
Apple just announced the M4 iMac, and the design hasn't changed compared to the previous generation. The iMac can now be configured with a nano-texture display, which has a special coating that better scatters light to further minimize glare on the screen.
Because the computer is so new, we aren't expecting steep discounts yet.
The M3 iMac features Apple's brand new M3 chip and various internal upgrades that make the desktop computer up to 2x faster than the M1 iMac. You'll find all of the same colors offered for the new iMac as the previous generation, with seven colorful hues in total.
Amazon is taking up to $199 off the M3 iMac right now, starting at $1,499.00 for the 512GB model.
