iFixit Tears Down New the M1 24-inch iMac

iFixit Tears Downwards New the M1 24-inch iMac

Posted by on May 25, 2022 in iMac, News

The iFixit team has washed a teardown of Apple tree's M1 iMac revealing all its internals or the lack of it. Interestingly, it looks like Apple is assembling the new iMac in Thailand instead of Red china, probable due to tariff issues.

Every bit for getting inside the iMac, the procedure is the aforementioned as previous iMacs. Y'all must cut through the mucilage holding the display and the rear console together.

The 24-inch iMac'southward logic lath is similar in size to the M1 MacBook Air. It is located a the bottom mentum of the machine, which is actively cooled using a pair of fans that blow air inward. The oestrus is then dissipated using 2 small heat sinks. Like other M1 Macs, the CPU, RAM, storage, and power management chips are all soldered on the logic board itself.

A dainty pattern touch from Apple is that it uses the Apple logo at the rear of the iMac as an RF-pasthrough window for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals, though, dissimilar previous iMacs, the antenna itself is not Apple-shaped. The iFixit team did find a "mystery push button" with three LEDs on the iMac'southward logic board. It will reveal the purpose of this button and LEDs in the full teardown. My best guess is that information technology is used for diagnostic purposes.

For at present, the iFixit squad has non published their full teardown of the 24-inch M1 iMac, so its repairability score and details of other internals are not yet known.
