Apple's colorful new iMac gets an M4 chip and AI brain
Apple just introduced a refreshed 24-inch iMac powered by the M4 chip, built specifically for Apple Intelligence. Starting at $1,299, it doubles the baseline memory to 16GB and packs a 3x faster Neural Engine, an optional nano-texture display, and USB-C accessories. Why it matters: Apple is quietly setting 16GB as the new baseline floor to ensure Macs can actually run local AI models.
