Apple Also Announces iMac With M6

[John Gruber]

Just a speed bump, but speed bumps are good.

Pricing and configurations:

M6 with 2 Thunderbolt ports:
    Base price:    $1500

    RAM:   16 GB:     +0
           24 GB:   +200

    SSD:  256 GB:     +0
          512 GB:   +200
            1 TB:   +500


M6 with 4 Thunderbolt ports:
    Base price:    $1700

    RAM:   16 GB:     +0
           24 GB:   +200

    SSD:  256 GB:     +0
          512 GB:   +200
            1 TB:   +500
            2 TB:  +1000


    Base price:    $2300

    RAM:   32 GB:     +0

    SSD:  512 GB:     +0
            1 TB:   +300
            2 TB:   +800

I list a separate base price for the 4-port, 32 GB RAM configuration in the table above because with 32 GB of RAM, the base storage goes from 256 to 512 GB. It’s effectively a $400 RAM upgrade and $200 SSD upgrade that are tied together, and that changes the upgrade prices to move up to 1 or 2 TB of SSD storage.
