display, amazing design, twice the performance, and macOS Mojave
that our customers love, iMac is by far the best desktop in the
world.”
Up to 8-Core Intel 9th-Generation Processors

experience dramatically faster performance for a wide range of
everyday computing tasks, from editing photos to playing demanding
games, composing music or even creating a feature film.

8th-generation quad-core, and for the first time 6-core processors,
delivering up to 60 percent faster performance.*
- The 27-inch iMac now for the first time
features up to 9th-generation 6-core and 8-core processors,

up to 80 percent faster graphics performance. The 27-inch iMac with
Radeon Pro Vega now delivers up to 50 percent faster graphics
performance, ideal for pros with graphics-intensive workloads, such
as developing 3D content, editing videos with complex effects or
designing high-resolution games.**
Industry’s Best 4K and 5K Retina Displays
With up to 14.7 million pixels, 1 billion colors, 500 nits of
brightness, P3 wide color gamut and an incredible viewing angle,
iMac’s Retina display delivers an immersive front-of-screen
experience. All these pixels result in text that looks like a
printed page, sharper photos with more detail, and the ability to
edit 4K video at full resolution.
Unrivaled All-In-One Design that Elevates Any Space
With its sleek aluminum and glass enclosure, 5 millimeter-thin
profile and beautiful matching keyboard and mouse, iMac delivers a
clean and uncluttered desktop experience that allows users to focus
more on their content. With everything they need and nothing they
don’t, customers love how iMac fits seamlessly into so many
different environments, from the home, to businesses of all sizes,
or even a pro studio.
macOS Mojave
All new Macs come with macOS Mojave, the latest version of the
world’s most advanced desktop operating system, with features
inspired by pros but designed for everyone. In macOS Mojave, Dark
Mode transforms the desktop with a dramatic new look that puts the
focus on user content, Stacks organizes messy desktops by
automatically stacking files into neat groups and FaceTime®
supports group calling. macOS Mojave also brings iOS apps,
including News, Stocks, Voice Memos and Home to the Mac® and
features a redesigned Mac App Store® with rich editorial content
and the addition of apps from top developers, including Microsoft
and Adobe.
