help Apple iMac FAQ
Is an Apple iMac a monitor or a full computer?
An iMac is a full all-in-one desktop computer with the display, processor, speakers, camera, and storage built into the same enclosure. It runs macOS and only needs external input devices such as a keyboard and mouse or trackpad.
What happened to the old 21.5-inch and 27-inch Intel iMacs?
Apple moved the iMac line to Apple silicon with the colorful 24-inch M1 iMac in 2021. The Intel 27-inch iMac was later discontinued, leaving many users to choose between a 24-inch iMac, Mac mini with a separate monitor, or Mac Studio.
Can a modern iMac be used as a display for another computer?
Modern Apple silicon iMacs do not support the old Target Display Mode feature. That feature existed only on certain older Intel iMacs from around the 2009 to 2014 era.
Can you upgrade RAM or storage after buying an iMac?
On modern Apple silicon iMacs, memory and internal storage are not practical user upgrades after purchase. Buyers should choose RAM and SSD capacity carefully when ordering from Apple.
