iFixit has already received its new iMac 2021 and proceeded to start its traditional cutting. The new gear has already arrived at your operating table and the web repair expert is eager to delve into the secrets of this iMac. The one that is very similar to the most modern iPads.
Early x-ray and exploded view of the iMac 2021
At iFixit, they chose to take apart a 24-inch mid-range iMac 2021. He has 8-core processor and 8-core GPU chip, 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage and in purple, the same as the one recently launched in the iPhone 12. On the Apple site, this model costs 1,669 dollars.
The first thing iFixit did was x-ray the equipment. This is where we see two huge metal plates on both sides, top and bottom. we have two electronic boards like sandwich
Decoupling the screen, we see the bare equipment. An interesting detail is that the mid-range model has two fans on both sides, while the entrance has only one fan (and 7 GPU cores instead of 8). According to iFixit, they claim the motherboard reminds them of the 2020 MacBook Air M1.
iFixit has several surprises in store for a second game. For example, the exploded view of the new Magic Keyboard which integrates Touch ID, the two circles in the center that look like piles and its known repairability score. To do this, we will have to wait a little longer.
