Apple's new iMacs: Better for consumer and enterprise pros

Making the decision to release updated iPads and iMacs in the week before launching the service shows the company’s determination not to divert focus from that launch, reflecting the millions of dollars it has spent pulling the service together. "If Apple announced new Pads, it would turn into a hardware event, and that's not what it wants,” IDC analyst Lauren Guenveur told CNN. While this makes sense strategically, I can imagine that people involved in the development of both the new Macs and iPads may have quite liked to hold an additional Apple event to launch the new hardware – it was certainly speculated it might. After all, Mac and iPad sales generated a significant $11 billion-plus in revenues in Q4 2018. How has Apple improved its iMacs? New Intel processors, faster graphics, and other enhancements mean these c.5-millimetre thin iMacs should be extremely capable desktops for handling graphics-intensive tasks such as video editing, 3D content development, or graphic design.[ Get certified as an Apple Technical Coordinator with this seven-part online course from PluralSight. ]
