Apple today announced its latest version of the iMac all-in-one desktop computer — one that some serious specs for photographers. It features what the company is calling “the world’s highest resolution display”. It’s a Retina 5K display measuring 5120×2880 pixels. That’s 14.7 million pixels packed into a 27-inch screen.
Want to see what a 5K image looks like? Here’s a sample photo that can fit entirely on the new iMac.
The new screen dwarfs the resolution of 4K displays, featuring 67% more pixels.
The new iMac still has a super thin 5mm profile and now uses 30% less energy than its predecessor.
You can purchase one starting today with a base price of $2,499. Apple will also continue to offer 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMacs without this fancy new display.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
