This update of EveryMac.com features complete specs, identifiers, benchmarks, and global prices on the now shipping iPad Pro as well as a comprehensive update to the "Tapered Edge" iMac Q&A to cover the latest models. EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated, too.
The "Tapered Edge" iMac Q&A answers "What are all the differences between the current iMac models? Which is best for me?" and "Which 'Tapered Edge' Aluminum iMac models actually have RAM that can be upgraded? How much RAM does each really support?" along with everything else about the new non-Retina and Retina iMac models alike.
Additionally, EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated with additional identifiers for the latest iPad Pro and iMac models -- as well as other 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's appreciated always.
For those interested in saving money on a new iPad Pro or iMac, site sponsor PowerMax has the latest models free of sales tax and with free shipping.
If you bought, or buy, a new iPad Pro or iMac, please send in its serial number. Non-personal information will be added to EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup to help with model identification and differentiation. Thank you.
