Apple reveals cheaper models of its laptops and iMacs which are all shipping TODAY at its World Wide Developer Conference
APPLE fans will be treated to a range of new iMacs that are even cheaper than before.
Tim Cook announced some hefty updates and cheaper models - which are shipping TODAY - at its World Wide Developer Conference.
Apple also today updated MacBook and MacBook Pro with faster processors, added faster SSDs to MacBook and introduced a new £1,249 13-inch MacBook Pro.
He said the new iMacs have the "best Mac displays ever made" with the faster ever processor, higher memory and superfast storage.
And starting at $1,049 - they are the cheapest they have ever been.
There is also a 4k model at $1,299, and a pricier version that starts at $1,799.
It's not clear what price it will be in the UK when they begin shipping here - but Apple is known for not making much of a conversion.
The MacBook Pro and MacBook Air - widely rumoured to be canned - are available to order on the Apple website or instore in the US from tomorrow.
"With major updates to iMac, and a refresh of our MacBook and MacBook Pro lines, the Mac is stronger than ever," said John Ternus, Apple’s vice president of Hardware Engineering. “Today iMac gets a huge graphics performance increase, faster CPU performance, Thunderbolt 3 and a brighter Retina display with support for 1 billion colors. We're also increasing CPU and SSD speed on MacBook, adding faster processors and making faster graphics standard on our 15-inch MacBook Pro and introducing a new $1,299 13-inch MacBook Pro."
