Previous generation ‌iMac‌ models featured an SD card slot reader on the rear. Apple says this new 'cool new innovation' means users can keep their desks less cluttered, while still enjoying the benefits of Ethernet.

Apple's solution to the dilemma is to place the Ethernet port directly into the power adapter. Typically, the headphone jack would be placed on the back of the ‌iMac‌, but with the new 24-inch model, the jack is placed on the left side.Īnother problem the new thin design of the ‌iMac‌ presented was where to place the Ethernet port. While visually pleasing, this new design did present a challenge for where to place the 3.5mm headphone jack. The new 24-inch ‌iMac‌ features a radically thinner design compared to the previous generation. With ‌M1‌ now on the ‌iMac‌, the 24-inch ‌iMac‌ becomes the first Mac desktop computer to support WiFi 6. The ‌M1‌ Apple silicon MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini released in November were the first Macs to support the new and faster WiFi 6 protocol.

Apple says in tandem, the new speakers and woofers create 'the best speakers in any Mac.' Spatial Audio is available on compatible iPhone and iPad devices with Dolby Atmos content, and now it's coming to the Mac for the first time. This is enabled by six brand new high-fidelity speakers that work in junction with force-canceling woofers. The 24-inch ‌iMac‌ is the first Mac to feature built-in Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos. In the aftermath of the event, a few new features and tidbits may have slipped under the radar, so we’ve compiled this list of some of the less-talked-about features and changes of the new 24-inch ‌iMac‌. The new iMac, the first major redesign of the Mac desktop computer since 2012, has several changes compared to the previous generation. Apple yesterday announced a completely redesigned 24-inch iMac with the M1 Apple silicon chip.
