Apple iMac M6 Refresh Stays Familiar
Tap title to read story
Apple’s M6 keeps the iMac current without shaking things up much.
The Apple Silicon iMac got its fourth refresh this month.
Every other Apple Silicon Mac has found a way to move forward over the last half‑decade—we’ve gotten a more Pro design for the MacBook Pro, a mini‑er design for the Mac mini, and a Mac Studio that has finally made Apple admit it doesn’t want to make the Mac Pro anymore.
But the Apple Silicon iMac has always been more interested in looking backward.
It’s the thin, screen‑on‑a‑stand iMac design by way of the original Bondi Blue G3 iMac.
It’s a clean and pretty desktop computer, one I see all the time in small offices and on TV shows that depict small offices.
