Detailed Product Description
Apple supercharges a 24‑inch iMac with a new M3 chip. The world’s best all-in-one gets even better, featuring the M3 chip and up to 2x faster performance in its strikingly thin design with an expansive 4.5K Retina display.
Design and Display
iMac 24-inch m3 chip retains its remarkably thin design and comes in a spectrum of seven vibrant colors. The striking design of the iMac is made possible thanks to Apple silicon — with a big leap in performance from M3. The 4.5K Retina display boasts 11.3 million pixels and supports over a billion colors. With True Tone technology, it adapts to the ambient lighting for a more natural viewing experience. The actual diagonal screen size is 23.5 inches and features a resolution of 4480-by-2520 pixels at 218 pixels per inch.
With its expansive 24‑inch Retina display, the iMac offers a brilliant canvas for multitasking, immersive movies and games, and so much more. The display’s 4.5K resolution delivers ultraclear detail and shines with 500 nits of brightness. That’s five times the resolution of and nearly 70 percent brighter than the best-selling 24‑inch all‑in‑one PC. And P3 wide color brings whatever you’re watching to life in over a billion colors. No matter what you do, it will look incredible on iMac.
External Monitor Support
While the iMac itself has a built-in 23.5-inch display, it also supports an additional external monitor. Due to the base M3 chip’s limitations, you can connect one external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz3.
Camera
The iMac comes with a 1080p FaceTime HD camera. It features an advanced image signal processor with computational video capabilities.
By far, it is the best camera system ever in an iMac. With a built‑in image signal processor, M3 boosts picture quality by analyzing and enhancing each pixel at over a trillion operations per second. This enables superior noise reduction, incredible dynamic range, and more balanced image exposure — so you look your best in any light. M3 also works together with macOS to keep the spotlight on you with Presenter Overlay, which elevates your presence by including you on top of the content you are sharing when on a video call.
Studio-quality mics
They are well-installed for high-quality conversations. Whether you are on a video call, recording a podcast, or live streaming, the microphones on the iMac make sure your voice comes through crisp and clear. The studio‑quality three‑mic array is designed to reduce feedback, and beamforming technology helps drastically reduce background noise — so everyone hears you, not what is going on around you.
Performance
Powered by the M3 chip, the new iMac delivers impressive performance gains to designers, gamers and highly demanding office work.
Operating System
The iMac runs macOS, which is the most advanced desktop operating system. With macOS Sonoma, you will experience enhanced video presentations, improved gaming performance, and personalized features.

Graphics and Creativity
The next-generation GPU in the M3 chip supports hardware-accelerated mesh shading and ray tracing, enhancing gaming experiences and speeding up three-dimensional design and creation. Additionally, there is a Media Engine that supports hardware-accelerated decoding for formats like H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and ProRes RAW.
Versatility
With its best-in-class camera, speakers, and microphones, along with macOS Sonoma, the iMac with M3 is perfect for everyone—from families and small businesses to aspiring creatives, students, and gamers.

Six-speaker sound system
Enjoy audio that fills a room. iMac brings incredible, room‑filling audio to any space. Two pairs of force‑cancelling woofers create rich, deep bass — and each is balanced with a high‑performance tweeter for a massive soundstage that takes music, movies, and more to the next level. iMac also supports Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos. And when you combine that with a 4.5K Retina display, it’s like bringing the whole theater home.
