This update of EveryMac.com features comprehensive updates to the "Tapered Edge" iMac Q&A and Aluminum Mac mini Q&A to cover the latest models.

EveryMac.com also is pleased to note that the EveryMac webapp for Android has been installed by more than 2000 happy users [subsequently discontinued]. If you use an Android mobile or tablet, and you haven't already done so, please install the EveryMac webapp today. If you find the app helpful, please post a kind five-star review, as well. Thank you.

The "Tapered Edge" iMac Q&A answers "How fast are the 'Late 2014' iMac models compared to one another, the 'Late 2013' iMac, and the Mac Pro?" and "How can you 'force' or 'hack' the iMac Retina 5K models to run at native resolution or otherwise fit more content on screen than by default?" and everything in between about the new iMac line.

The Aluminum Mac mini Q&A answers "What are all the differences between the 'Late 2014' Aluminum Mac mini models and the models replaced?" and "How do you upgrade the storage in the 'Late 2014' Aluminum Mac mini? Is it even possible?" along with dozens of other questions about all modern Mac mini models.

Finally, EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated with many more identifiers for recent Macs and devices from hands-on inspection and submissions by helpful readers. Thank you very much to those who contributed info from recent purchases. It is appreciated always.
