The Retina 4K display sports a resolution of 4096 by 2304 resolution—that’s over 9.4 million pixels on the screen, which is 4.5 times the number of pixels that appear on the standard 21.5-inch iMac and its 2 million pixels. The Retina 4K display also features a P3-based color gamut that Apple says provides a 25 percent larger color space, leading to better image detail and color accuracy.
The base configuration for the 21.5-inch Retina 4K iMac come with 5400-rpm hard drives. Fusion Drives (which combine the mass storage space of a hard drive with flash storage for speed) are available to buy as an upgrade option at the time of purchase. Customers also have the option to replace the hard drive with complete flash storage for an extra fee.
Apple offers three standard configurations of the iMac. The one Retina 4K iMac standard configuration is priced at £1,199. Apple also offers two 21.5-inch iMacs priced at £899 and £1049 with standard displays that have a resolution of 1920-by-1080.
Intel’s new Skylake processor have made their way into Apple’s 27-inch Retina 5K iMac, replacing the Haswell processors in the two previous 27-inch Retina 5K iMacs. The new 27-inch models also have discrete AMD graphics processors.
Magic Mouse 2, Magic Trackpad 2, Magic Keyboard
Apple new input devices are made with built-in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries; removable, disposable batteries are no longer used. The Magic devices each have a Lightning connector used for recharging, and a fully-charged Magic battery lasts about a month. Apple says the new devices reach a new level of comfort. The company has released three new devices: Magic Mouse 2, Magic Trackpad 2, and Magic Keyboard.
The Magic Trackpad 2, which is 29 percent larger than its predecessor, has sensors to detect how hard you’re pressing. You can press to click like usual, but press harder, and you’ll perform a Force Click. Force Click has different functions; it can be used for Quick Look in the Finder; it shows a preview when you Force Click a web link; and more.
The Magic Trackpad 2 requires a Bluetooth 4, which means it may not work with older Macs. Check your Mac's Bluetooth version before you buy.
