In my last blog post I wrote about how my old 2013 27" iMac bit the dust. I couldn't wait for the new 27" iMac replacement (with Apple silicon) to come out, so I went to the Apple Store and got a new 27" iMac. On the outside it's identical to the old 27" iMac. Eight years later, it's exactly the same. Even the styrofoam in the box is the same shape. The revolution is over. It's evolution time.
So what's changed. It's faster but you can kiss Moore's law goodbye. If Moore was still working, it would be 40 times as fast. It ain't. The screen resolution is about twice as good so now it's called 5K. It's got an SSD so disk access should be faster, but it's only 256 Gb so it's 1/4 the size of the old one. They automatically kind of connect you to iCloud to try to make up for some of that.
Here's a picture:
Looks familiar, huh?
