Ready for big things.

 

The 27‑inch iMac is packed with powerful tools and apps that let you take any idea to the next level. Its superfast processors and graphics, massive memory, and all-flash storage can tackle any workload with ease. And with its advanced audio and video capabilities and stunning 5K Retina display, everything you do is larger than life.

 

Retina Display

Draws you in. Blows you away. Everything looks incredible on a 5K Retina display, with its one billion colors and 500 nits of brightness. Photos and graphics leap off the screen. Text is super sharp. And the 27‑inch iMac features True Tone technology for a more natural viewing experience and a nano-texture glass option to reduce glare to the barest minimum.

 

Nano-Texture Glass

Minimum glare. Maximum detail. First seen on the Pro Display XDR, the nano-texture glass option on the 27‑inch iMac is a game-changer for workspaces with sunlight, direct light, or changing lighting conditions. Unlike typical matte display coatings, the nano-texture is etched into the glass at the nanometer level. This reduces glare while preserving contrast, for jaw-dropping image quality.

 

Processor and Memory

From fast to fasten your seatbelt. The 27‑inch iMac and powerful processors go hand in hand. Up to a 10‑core Intel Core i9 processor gives you all the power you need for heavy tasks like running multiple pro apps, layering tons of tracks and effects, or compiling and testing code.

 

Graphics

Next-level. At any level. The graphics on the 27‑inch iMac make everything a sight to behold. With AMD Radeon Pro 5000 series graphics and up to 16GB of GDDR6 memory, it can power through graphics-intensive workflows like 3D rendering or developing lifelike game environments.

 

Storage

More space. More speed. All-flash SSD storage delivers high capacity and lightning speed. The 27‑inch iMac can be configured up to a whopping 8TB SSD¹³ with up to 3.4GB/s sequential read and write speeds,¹⁴ for screaming-fast access to all your photo and video libraries, massive files, and pro apps.

 

Camera, Speakers, and Mics

Mics, camera, action. From crystal-clear video calls and voice recordings to music and movies that fill the room, the 27‑inch iMac is an all-star for communications and content. It features a 1080p FaceTime HD camera and a studio-quality three-mic array, so you’ll always look and sound great. And the T2 chip acts in concert with the speakers to enable variable EQ and an enhanced bass response, so all your content can have big, balanced high-fidelity sound.

 

Apple T2 Security Chip

Your own private security detail. The Apple T2 Security Chip features a Secure Enclave coprocessor that provides the foundation for secure boot and encrypted storage capabilities. The T2 chip also enables powerful features like the 1080p FaceTime HD camera, face detection, enhanced speaker bass response, and “Hey Siri.” And it makes transcoding HEVC video up to twice as fast as the previous generation.¹⁵

 

Connectivity

Packed with ports. And possibilities. The 27‑inch iMac features two superfast Thunderbolt 3 (USB‑C) ports and four USB‑A ports, giving you plenty of high-performance options for connecting external drives, cameras, displays, and more. A 1Gb Ethernet port is standard, and you can configure the 27‑inch iMac with 10Gb Ethernet for up to 10 times the throughput of the previous generation. And with ultrafast Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, you’re instantly connected to your favorite content and wireless devices.

 

Apple Accessories

Rechargeable. Remarkable. Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard pair perfectly with the 27‑inch iMac and come included in the box. If you’re looking for extra functionality, Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad and Magic Trackpad offer some impressive options.
