The Apple iMac 24-inch (2024) is the M4-powered refresh of Apple's all-in-one desktop, housing a 4.5K Retina display, speakers, camera, and the entire computer inside an 11.5mm-thin aluminum slab on a slim stand. It arrived in November 2024 in seven finishes — Blue, Purple, Pink, Orange, Yellow, Green, and Silver. Crucially, this generation ships in two distinct variants: a lower Two-ports model (8-core CPU / 8-core GPU) and a higher Four-ports model (10-core CPU / 10-core GPU), which differ in far more than port count. Because the chip tier, RAM, and SSD were all chosen at checkout and soldered to the logic board — permanently, with no upgrade path — your exact configuration sets the resale value. Configure your model using the tool above for an instant cash offer.

Confirm your exact model and year first. The 24-inch iMac has looked nearly identical since 2021, and the wrong page will misquote your device:

  • The iMac 24-inch (M1, 2021) and (M3, 2023) are physically almost indistinguishable from this M4 model. Check the chip in About This Mac — only an M4 belongs on this page.
  • Within 2024, the Two-ports and Four-ports models are different SKUs with different value. Count the Thunderbolt ports on the back before quoting.

Core hardware configurations

Chip (CPU + GPU)

  • Two-ports model: Apple M4 — 8-core CPU / 8-core GPU
  • Four-ports model: Apple M4 — 10-core CPU / 10-core GPU
  • 16-core Neural Engine, 120GB/s memory bandwidth, hardware ray tracing + AV1 decode on both
  • The CPU/GPU core count is fixed per variant — it's the clearest tell of which model you have

Memory (Unified RAM)

  • 16GB base on both variants (up from 8GB on prior generations)
  • Two-ports: configurable to 24GB
  • Four-ports: configurable to 24GB or 32GB
  • Soldered onto the M4 package — not user-upgradable or replaceable

Storage (SSD)

  • 256GB base, configurable to 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB
  • Soldered NAND — not removable or upgradable
  • The base 256GB tier uses a dual-NAND design for solid read/write speeds

Finish

  • Blue, Purple, Pink, Orange, Yellow, Green, Silver
  • Two-tone design — lighter on the front, more saturated on the back
  • Color does not affect value but helps confirm the right unit

Display & audio

Display

24-inch 4.5K Retina display (actual diagonal 23.5") at 4480 × 2520 resolution (218 ppi). 500 nits brightness, support for 1 billion colors, Wide color (P3), and True Tone. The Four-ports model can be configured with nano-texture glass for reduced glare — an option not offered on the Two-ports model.

Audio

High-fidelity six-speaker system with force-cancelling woofers and wide stereo sound. Supports Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos. Studio-quality three-mic array with directional beamforming and "Hey Siri" support.

Ports & connectivity

All ports sit on the back of the display; the 3.5mm headphone jack is on the left edge for easy reach. Port count is the defining difference between the two 2024 models.

Two-ports model (rear)
  • 2× Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports (up to 40Gb/s; support Thunderbolt 4, USB 4, DisplayPort)
  • 1× 3.5mm headphone jack (left edge)
  • Gigabit Ethernet on the power brick — optional paid upgrade, not standard
Four-ports model (rear)
  • 4× Thunderbolt 4 ports (up to 40Gb/s; support USB 4, DisplayPort)
  • 1× 3.5mm headphone jack (left edge)
  • Gigabit Ethernet on the power brick — included as standard

External display support also differs: the Four-ports model drives up to two 6K displays (or one 8K), while the Two-ports model supports fewer external displays.

Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) Bluetooth 5.3

Power, build & more

Power supply

External power brick rated up to 143W, connected via a color-matched woven power cord. The Four-ports model's brick carries the Gigabit Ethernet port as standard; on the Two-ports model that Ethernet brick was an optional add-on, so its presence helps confirm the variant.

Cooling

Active cooling housed entirely within the 11.5mm chassis, tuned for near-silent operation — declared idle/load sound pressure is just 7 dB at the operator position.

Camera & mic

12MP Center Stage camera that keeps you framed as you move, with Desk View support and 1080p recording. Studio-quality three-mic array. A clear upgrade over the 1080p camera on the M1/M3 iMacs.

Included accessories

Ships with a color-matched Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard. Four-ports: Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. Two-ports: Magic Keyboard without Touch ID (Lock key instead). Magic Trackpad or numeric-keypad keyboard were paid options.

Weight

≈ 4.44 kg (9.79 lb) including the stand — varies slightly by configuration.

Dimensions

547 × 461 mm (21.5" × 18.1") with the stand; 11.5mm thin display. Stand depth 147 mm.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm mine is the 2024 M4 iMac, and which variant (Two-ports or Four-ports)?
Click the Apple menu () in the top-left corner and choose About This Mac. The 2024 model reports an Apple M4 chip — if it says M1 or M3, you have an earlier iMac with its own page. To tell the two 2024 variants apart, count the Thunderbolt ports on the back: two ports means the 8-core CPU / 8-core GPU model, four ports means the 10-core CPU / 10-core GPU model. The Four-ports model also came with a Touch ID keyboard and standard Gigabit Ethernet. See our guide to finding your gadget's model for help.
02 Can I upgrade the RAM or storage before selling — or after I buy it back?
No. On the M4 iMac, both the unified memory and the SSD are soldered directly onto the logic board and were permanently set when the machine was configured at purchase. There are no slots, no removable drives, and no aftermarket upgrade path — the chip tier (8-core vs 10-core), the 16/24/32GB RAM, and the 256GB–2TB storage your iMac shipped with are the figures that determine its value. Just select what your device actually has in the tool above.
03 How should I wipe my iMac and sign out of my Apple Account before shipping?
Before boxing it up, back up anything you need, then sign out of your Apple Account and turn off Find My / Activation Lock, and erase the Mac. The cleanest method is Erase All Content and Settings (System Settings → General → Transfer or Reset), which removes your data and disables Activation Lock in one step. Because the SSD is soldered in, do not attempt to remove the drive — our team performs certified software sanitization on every incoming Mac. Full details are on our data erasure protocols page.
04 Which configurations raise my iMac's trade-in value the most?
The Four-ports (10-core / 10-core) model commands a higher payout than the Two-ports (8-core / 8-core) model thanks to its faster chip, higher RAM ceiling, standard Ethernet, and Touch ID keyboard. On top of that, larger unified memory (24GB or 32GB) and a bigger SSD (1TB or 2TB) add the most value, and the nano-texture glass option (Four-ports only) is a further premium. Including the original keyboard, mouse, and power brick, plus clean cosmetic condition, all help your final offer.
05 What is the turnaround process for my cash payout?
Once your iMac reaches our diagnostics lab and our intake team completes functional and cosmetic testing, payment is approved within two working days. We pay out through fast electronic channels — PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or CashApp — or by physical check mailed to you. Your prepaid shipping label is free and fully insured end to end. We recommend shipping the iMac in its original packaging if you still have it, since all-in-one displays need careful protection in transit.
