Notably, there don't seem to be any more Core i7 options for the 27-inch model, probably because the core and clock-speed increases to the Core i5 serve to move it up to that performance class, though probably not the same performance level.

The base 21.5-inch, non-Retina model remains the same, sticking with its $1,099 (£1,049, AU$1,699) price tag. Read: Here's a fast and affordable way to upgrade your iMac's RAM You can expect a noticeable performance increase from the new components, if only because of the increase in processor cores and clock speeds on the Intel chips and the move to AMD's updated last-generation or newest Vega-architecture graphics. Notably, though, the top configuration now goes up to a ninth-gen Core i9 processor and Radeon Pro Vega graphics.

What's new? Upgraded eighth- and ninth-generation Intel Core CPUs and new AMD Radeon GPUs, just like we got in 2017. Like a trail of breadcrumbs leading up to its event on March 25, Apple announced updates to its iMac all-in-one desktops on Tuesday, following the launch of two new iPads on Monday (and followed by new AirPod earbuds).
