Apple continues to unveil new products this week, now with the introduction of an all-new M6 iMac, bringing improved performance and AI capabilities. The updated model retains the signature slim design of the brand’s all-in-one (AIO) desktop computer, while introducing faster connectivity and storage.
The new iMac comes with a 24-inch 4.5K Retina display with 500 nits of brightness, a 12MP Center Stage camera, a three-microphone array, and a six-speaker sound system with Spatial Audio support for Dolby Atmos. It also runs macOS 27 and is available in seven colours: blue, green, pink, yellow, purple, orange, and silver.
All-New M6 Chip
The new M6 chip features up to a 12-core CPU and a 12-core GPU, both with two additional cores compared to the previous generation. Apple claims the new iMac delivers up to 1.5 times faster performance in productivity apps and twice the graphics performance compared to the M4-powered model.
The chip also features a 16-core Neural Engine and Neural Accelerators built into each GPU core. According to Apple, these improvements enable up to five times faster on-device AI performance compared to the M4 model, with the company highlighting tasks such as running large language models locally.

In terms of connectivity, the new AIO supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, while 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet is available on configurations with a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU. Apple also claims that its SSD offers up to twice the read and write performance of the previous generation.
