New Wireless Accessories Bring Force Touch to the Desktop
Apple® today updated the entire iMac® family, bringing a
stunning new Retina® 4K display to the 21.5-inch iMac for the first
time and the Retina 5K display to every 27-inch iMac. The new
Retina displays make photos and videos more immersive and
true-to-life thanks to a wider color gamut and spectacular image
quality. The updated iMacs also feature more powerful processors
and graphics, two Thunderbolt® 2 ports and new storage options that
make the high-performance Fusion Drive even more affordable.
Apple today also introduced a new lineup of wireless accessories
including the all-new Magic Keyboard™, Magic Mouse® 2 and Magic
Trackpad® 2. The Magic devices have been redesigned to feel more
comfortable than ever, and feature rechargeable batteries that
completely eliminate the need for disposable batteries. The new
Magic Trackpad 2 also brings Apple’s revolutionary Force Touch
interface to the desktop, adding a new dimension to the iMac
experience.
“From the first iMac to today, the spirit of iMac has never
wavered — deliver the ultimate desktop experience with the latest
technologies, gorgeous displays and cutting-edge designs,” said
Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide
Marketing. “These are the most stunning iMacs we’ve ever made. With
our gorgeous new Retina displays, more powerful processors and
graphics and all-new Magic accessories, the new iMac continues to
redefine the ultimate desktop experience.”
With Retina display, text appears sharper than ever, videos are
unbelievably lifelike and you can see new levels of detail in your
photos. The 21.5-inch iMac is available with the all-new Retina 4K
display featuring an amazing 4096 x 2304 resolution and 9.4 million
pixels, 4.5 times more than the standard 21.5-inch iMac display.
Every 27-inch iMac features a Retina 5K display, the world’s
highest resolution all-in-one display with a stunning 14.7 million
pixels, 7 times more pixels than an HD display. With a Retina
display now on the 21.5-inch iMac and every 27-inch iMac, iMac with
Retina display is more affordable than ever.
The new Retina displays feature a wider color gamut that brings
more brilliant and true-to-life colors to your desktop. With
standard sRGB-based displays, many of the colors you see in real
life never make it to your screen. The new Retina 5K and 4K
displays feature a wider P3-based color gamut that provides a 25
percent larger color space, and with more available colors, images
are more vivid, reveal even greater detail and appear more lifelike
than ever.
Faster and more powerful than ever, the new 27-inch iMac with
Retina 5K display now comes with sixth-generation Intel Core
processors and the latest AMD high-performance graphics that
deliver up to 3.7 teraflops of compute power. The new 21.5-inch
iMac with Retina 4K display features a fifth-generation Intel Core
processor and enhanced Intel Iris Pro Graphics. Two Thunderbolt 2
ports now come standard on all iMacs and deliver up to 20Gbps data
transfer speeds for external drives and high-performance
peripherals. And three stream 802.11ac Wi-Fi allows iMac to support
up to 1.3Gbps wireless networking.*
Fusion Drive combines the large storage capacity of a hard drive
with the high performance of flash to deliver shorter boot times
and faster access to apps and files. Fusion Drive works in
conjunction with OS X® to adapt to the way you use your iMac and
automatically moves the files and apps you use most often to flash
storage. The incredible performance of Fusion Drive is now more
affordable with a new, lower-priced configuration that pairs a 1TB
hard drive with 24GB of fast flash. Fusion Drive is also available
with 2TB and 3TB configurations with 128GB of fast flash for more
demanding workloads. For the ultimate in storage performance,
optional all flash storage is available up to 1TB and is now up to
2.5 times faster.**
The all-new Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Trackpad 2
are more comfortable, capable and environmentally friendly.
Designed around a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, all
three accessories eliminate the need for disposable batteries and
feature a noticeably more solid internal structure and quality
feel. The new Magic Keyboard features a full-size keyboard in a
sleek new design that takes up 13 percent less space on your
desktop. With a new scissor mechanism and lower profile, the Magic
Keyboard provides an incredibly stable, precise and comfortable
typing experience. The new Magic Mouse 2 is lighter, sturdier and
features an optimized foot design for a smoother glide. The new
Magic Trackpad 2 features a 29 percent larger surface and brings
Force Touch to the desktop for the first time. Force Touch enables
a range of new ways to interact with your Mac®, including the new
Force click to quickly look up a word, preview a file or bring up a
map from an address. The new Magic devices pair instantly with your
Mac as soon as they are plugged in via the Lightning®-to-USB
charging cable, and can last about a month or more on a full
charge.***
Every new Mac comes with OS X El Capitan, the latest version of
OS X that refines the Mac experience and improves system
performance. El Capitan builds on the groundbreaking features
and beautiful design of OS X Yosemite, with updates to window
management, built-in apps and Spotlight® search, and performance
improvements to make everyday activities — like launching and
switching apps, opening PDFs and accessing email — faster and more
responsive. El Capitan was specifically designed for the Retina
display and features a new system font called San Francisco that
has been fine-tuned for optimal readability on a Retina
display.
iMovie®, GarageBand® and the suite of iWork® apps come free with
every new iMac. iMovie, updated today to support 4K video, lets you
easily create beautiful movies, and you can use GarageBand to make
new music or learn to play piano or guitar. The iWork suite of
Pages®, Numbers® and Keynote® makes it easy to create, edit and
share stunning documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Pages,
Numbers and Keynote for iCloud® let you create a document on
iPhone® or iPad®, edit it on your Mac and collaborate with friends,
even if they are on a PC.
