History

The iMac (Mid 2007) represented, from a technical standpoint, a simple performance update of the iMac (Late 2006), but it nonetheless included a complete case redesign. Announced in August 2007, the iMac (Mid 2007) featured a new and distinctive aluminum design that clearly drew elements from the recently released iPhone. The iMac (Mid 2007) also included a new extremely thin aluminum keyboard. The iMac (Mid 2007) was marketed in three configurations: 20"/2.0 GHz/1 GB RAM/250 GB HD/128 MB VRAM/SuperDrive/$1199 U.S., 20"/2.4 GHz/1 GB RAM/320 GB HD/256 MB VRAM/SuperDrive/$1499 U.S., and 24"/2.4 GHz/1 GB RAM/320 GB HD/256 MB VRAM/SuperDrive/$1799 U.S. A high-end BTO model was also available, equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme processor at 2.8 GHz and a 500 GB hard drive, priced at $2299 U.S.

Trivia

• The iMac Mid 2007 represents the first major redesign directly inspired by the iPhone, with a revolutionary aluminum unibody that reflected the aesthetic language of Apple's recently launched smartphone. • The extremely thin aluminum keyboard introduced with this model was a revolutionary innovation that anticipated the minimalist design that would characterize Apple products in the years to follow. • Despite being primarily a speed update compared to the previous model, the iMac Mid 2007 was offered in four different configurations, with prices ranging from $1,199 to $2,299, demonstrating Apple's strategy of covering different market segments.
