Apple’s all-in-one iMac gets M4 upgrade
Comes in new colors, Supercharged by Apple Intelligence
In what seems to be the first in a staggered, three-day online rollout event for new Macs, Apple introduced an all-new iMac today, October 28.
The update brings the latest version of Apple Silicon, M4, to its popular all-in-one desktop as well as Apple Intelligence, a new personal intelligence system, which Apple also officially made available to users today.
M4 Chip
The $1299 entry level model comes with 16GB of RAM, an 8-core CPU and two Thunderbolt ports while higher end models start at $1499, and have a 10-core CPU and four Thunderbolt 4 ports.
New Colors
Comparison between Pink iMac M4 vs Pink iMac M3, which actually had a red back
The new 2024 iMac is still available in the same 6 colors plus silver, but with a slight refresh. Pink is actually now pink instead of red, green is a richer, more vibrant shade, while purple, blue, yellow and orange are lighter and less intense.
Nano-Texture Display Option
Similar to last year’s model, the 2024 iMac sports a 24-inch 4.5K Retina display.
This year Apple is offering a $200 nano-texture display option which reduces reflections and glare while maintaining image quality.
We saw this option recently on the Studio Display and most recently its new iPad Pro lineup. We could also see it as an option if/when Apple upgrades the MacBook Pro later this week.
Users looking for a larger display may have to opt for an external monitor like the Apple Studio Display. These new iMacs now support up to two external 6K displays at 60Hz or 1 external display at 120Hz.
Center Stage Camera
Video calling also gets an upgrade on the 2024 iMac thanks to a new 12MP Center Stage Camera which replaces the FaceTime HD camera seen on older models. Center Stage is a feature available on most new iPads that shifts the camera as you move around the frame, or expands it when more people come into view.
The Center Stage camera also supports desk view which offers a top down view of your desk.
Goodbye Lightning
Apple also quietly updated its Mac accessories bringing USB-C connectivity to the Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad. Completing its transition away from the Lightning Port.
Color-matched accessories are available with the purchase of one of these iMacs. While the usual standalone white and black models with USB-C are also now available from Apple.
The new 2024 iMac starts at the $1299 price tag as last year’s M3 iMac but comes with double the base RAM (16GB). Pre-orders start today with in store availability set for November 8, Friday.

Kingston FURY Renegade G5 SSD adds 8TB storage capacity option
Largest capacity option yet for high-power uses
Kingston FURY has added an 8192GB full capacity option for the Kingston FURY Renegade G5 line. This is ideal for high-power uses, such as video editing, 3D rendering, gaming, and more.
Optimized for heavy workflows and gaming needs, the PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD utilizes the latest PCIe Gen5 x 4 controller and 3D TLC NAND.
It can reach speeds of up to 14,800/14,000MB/s (read/write) and over 2M IOPS. This way, it can provide extreme performance and endurance.
And with an 8TB option, users can now store more of their favorite games and media without losing system responsiveness. Other scenarios include 4K/8K video editing.
The Kingston FURY Renegade G5 lineup has capacities available from 1TB to 8TB. All options come with a limited five-year warranty, plus free technical support and legendary Kingston reliability.
Like the Renegade G5’s other storage capacities, the 8TB SSD is compatible with many popular motherboards.
Enthusiasts looking at custom builds can rely on the lineup. And by now, popular PC brands already have motherboards with PCIe 5.0 support.
Kingston’s future-ready storage and RAM offerings were displayed previously at COMPUTEX 2025.
These AI-ready solutions support robots, AI PCs, and AI servers, delivering benefits in public safety, data security, and production line efficiency.
Apple has introduced the upgraded Apple Vision Pro, now powered by the M5 chipand equipped with the Dual Knit Band for improved comfort.
This latest version delivers faster performance, sharper display rendering, longer battery life, and new experiences through visionOS 26, which introduces widgets, updated Personas, and new Apple Intelligence features with expanded language support.
M5 chip brings faster AI and sharper visuals
The M5 chip, built on third-generation 3-nanometer technology, introduces a 10-core CPU and GPU that boost performance across the system. Apps launch faster, web browsing feels more responsive, and visuals appear sharper with 10% more pixels rendered on Vision Pro’s micro-OLED displays.
The new GPU supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing and mesh shading. It brings lifelike lighting and reflections to games like Control. Vision Pro now supports refresh rates up to 120Hz. It reduces motion blur and delivering smoother experiences for Mac Virtual Display users.
The high-performance battery extends use to 2.5 hours of general activity or 3 hours of video playback on a single charge. Meanwhile, the 16-core Neural Engine accelerates AI-powered tasks up to 2x faster than before. Developers can now use Apple’s Foundation Models framework to create smarter on-device AI experiences.
Dual Knit Band offers improved comfort
Apple introduces a redesigned Dual Knit Band, crafted from 3D-knitted fabric for a more cushioned and balanced fit. It uses flexible ribs embedded with tungsten inserts for counterweight and stability, while the dual-function Fit Dial enables fine-tuned adjustments.
The Dual Knit Band is available in three sizes (S, M, L), sold separately, and compatible with previous Vision Pro models. Users can find their best fit through the Apple Store app for iPhone.
visionOS 26 expands spatial experiences
With visionOS 26, Vision Pro adds immersive new ways to work and play. Widgets can now stay anchored in your space, Personas look more natural in FaceTime, and spatial photos use AI to add realistic depth.
Vision Pro also supports 180° and 360° video playback from Canon, Insta360, and GoPro. This lets creators and users relive footage the way it was captured. Later this year, the Vision Pro app for iPad will launch. It will give users another way to browse and manage spatial content.
Expanding apps, games, and immersive content
Vision Pro users can explore over 1 million apps, with 3,000+ made specifically for visionOS. Lifestyle and design apps like HomeByMe, Balenciaga, and Christie’s Select join entertainment titles like Epic Earth and Space Vision.
Apple Immersive continues to push storytelling boundaries with new titles from Audi F1 Project, BBC, HYBE, and Red Bull. There are also 3D movie hits like Jurassic World Rebirth and Wicked on the Apple TV app.
Gaming also levels up with support for PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers. It unlocks tactile gameplay with six degrees of freedom and haptic feedback.
Built for creators and professionals
Pro users can use Vision Pro for advanced workflows — from 3D design and photography to film production and live collaboration. The new Logitech Muse stylus offers pixel-level precision in apps like Crayon and Sketch Pro. Enterprises such as CAE, Porsche, and UC San Diego Health are already adopting Vision Pro to power simulation, visualization, and healthcare innovation.
Pricing and availability
The upgraded Apple Vision Pro with M5 chip and Dual Knit Band starts at SGD 4,999, available in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage options.
Pre-orders in Singapore begin October 17, with availability in Apple Stores starting October 22.
The Dual Knit Band can be purchased separately for SGD 149, the Vision Pro Travel Case for SGD 299, and ZEISS Optical Inserts for SGD 149 (Readers) or SGD 219 (Prescription). The Logitech Muse stylus is priced at SGD 179 and will be available alongside the new Vision Pro.
