Contrary to the speculations of delay, Apple has released the 2020 iMac line-up with major upgrades amid COVID-19 pandemic. Tech analysts were also expecting a redesigned look with thinner bezels to enlarge the display of the new iMacs but the company has continued with the same language design of previous-generation iMacs.
The release notes of the update reads,
“Apple today also announced that its 21.5-inch iMac will come standard with SSDs across the line for the first time. Customers can also choose to configure their 21.5-inch iMac with a Fusion Drive.
iMac Pro now comes standard with a 10-core Intel Xeon processor.
