Apple is limiting color availability by price point. The entry-level $1,299 ‌M1‌ iMac is available in Blue, Green, Pink and Silver, while the higher-end $1,499 and $1,699 options are available in all seven colors.

So if you want an ‌iMac‌ in Yellow, Orange, or Purple, you will need to shell out at least $1,499. It's also worth noting that Apple has not introduced any black or space gray versions of the new ‌iMac‌.

$1,299 for an M1 iMac with a small 24 inch monitor and meagre 256GB storage. No, thank you. I'll pass.

They should’ve just made the bezels and chin the same color and material used on the backside. And if they were determined to keep the chin, at least add the Apple logo to the chin but make it the same color tone of the iMac (the same way it is on the current MacBooks and iPhone Pro).

This white bezel mess is giving me flashbacks of the 7th gen Nano.

I hate this iMac, it looks hideous. It will sell because I’m not the target audience, a fact that I hate even more than the design.

Am I the only one that feels a lack of the Apple logo on the front makes that chin look empty/bad?

mac mini is $$700. So this is $600 for the 4.5k 24" monitor w speakers and camera plus m/k or just k. And actually the $1299 model is only 7 core gpu while Mac Mini is 8 core.

It's all cool until you look at the price tag. And then crawl back into your hole for another year of winter.
