The results are more impressive if you look at how the M4 does against Intel chips. The M4 iMac is a speedy 53 percent faster than an iMac Pro, and 137 percent faster than an Intel Core i7 iMac. If you’re still using an Intel iMac, you’re wasting time.

Apple has kicked off its potential week of announcements with a big upgrade to the iMac. The new version of this colourful all-in-one machine sports Apple's latest M4 chip. This update comes almost exactly a year after the last iMac update which saw it go from the M1 chip to the M3 chip.

The design remains the same, but you get a new processor and a more generous RAM offering without a price increase. Sadly, Apple is still miserly with the iMac's storage.
