The fully refurbished iMac 5K 2017 from refurbed is whisper quiet. Plus, 1 billion rich colours and high contrast make for vivid, stunning images. The increased resolution doesn’t mean that elements become smaller - they just become much sharper. The 5K display is one of the best on the market today, leaving the current Ultra-HD/4K standard far behind and making the iMac 5K future-proof for many years to come. Graphically, you have least a Radeon Pro 570 with 4 GB RAM (or even the Radeon Pro 580 with 8 GB RAM) and that is at least 1.5 times faster than the graphics unit in the predecessor according to Apple - perfect for video editing and blockbuster games. Performance you can feel.Īll your performance needs are met by seventh-generation processors (Kaby Lake) and DDR4 RAM. There are different rules for Apple….Perfection meets evolution: While the shape and body of the refurbed™ Apple iMac 5K 2017 remain stylish and high-quality as usual, the inner workings and display have been completely re-engineered. Of course it shows them like the moneygrabbers that they are to geeks like us, but as long as the general buyers let them get away with it they are golden.Īnd best of all, when the iPhone 7 comes out and they (finally) “reinvent the entry level market by offering everyone at least 32 GB” they will get a giant applause. What Apple did is brilliant from their point of view. Also, the gap between 16 and 64 is 100 dollar so it is a much easier to upsell to the 750 dollar phone (16 isn’t enough for most people and you get 48 extra for your money). Now the margins on the baseline model are intact (and because of pricedrops for Apple actually increased). ![]() So this is what Apple did instead (for iPhone 6): You have now made your baseline model too expensive. Also, the gap between 32 and 64 is 100 dollar so most people will stay with the 650 dollar phone that is already good enough. ![]() You are now offering larger storage for the same prices as before, basically eating your margins and lowering your profits on the baseline model. Why bother with 16 at all if you’re going to put the 64 gb model at the price point that used to hold the 32 gb? Just cut the 16 and put the 32 as the baseline model and you’d make out with just as much profit while not looking dated.Īnd I don’t entirely understand what you meant by “cut the 16 and put the 32 as the baseline”. There are only 2 reasons the 16 GB exists:ġ) So Apple has something new to sell to THEIR lowend customers That said, it’s a whopping €129 here, which is kind of insane. ![]() As a fan of Apple’s current keyboard (I know I’m the only person who actually seems to really love it – it’s the only keyboard I use, on my PC even), I’m excited about the new model because you can also use it wired. In any event, Apple also replaced its keyboard, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad. But for most intents and purposes, this thing is just a 2012-era iMac chassis with a nice sharp screen installed in place of the old 1080p display.īelieve it or not, but that $1500 base model? It comes with a 5400RPM hard drive. You do get a handful of nice internal upgrades, including Intel’s Broadwell CPUs and GPUs, Thunderbolt 2 support, and faster storage and RAM (all also available on the refreshed non-Retina 21.5-inch iMacs). The 4K iMac starts at $1,499 and does for the 21-inch iMac what the 5K version did for the 27-inch iMac a year ago: it gives it a Retina screen and leaves pretty much everything else alone. We got an all-new Retina MacBook in the spring, and today Apple is killing the 27-inch non-Retina iMac and introducing a new 4K model at the top of the 21.5-inch lineup. But this year, the scales started to tip in Retina’s favor. It’s been over three years since the very first Mac went Retina, and we’re still waiting for every model to get the upgrade.
