Apple has been part of the ConnectED initiative since 2014, pledging $100 million of teaching and learning solutions to 114 undeserved schools across the country. Weāve donated an iPad to every student, a Mac and iPad to every teacher, and an Apple TV to every classroom. And weāve implemented a process that provides planning, professional learning, and ongoing guidance so every school can experience the transformational power of technology.
Many Apple ConnectED schools do not have a strong network or a dedicated technology department. So before any products are delivered, Apple Project Engineers conduct a full survey of the schoolās existing wireless infrastructure and help install or upgrade a network. To help every teacher become comfortable with new technology, the Apple Education team provides a series of workshops designed specifically for educators. We start by helping them integrate iPad, Mac, and Apple TV into their curriculum and lessons, then show them how to create original and engaging books, presentations, and other learning materials. Compared to the previous year, open leadership roles filled by women globally increased by 10 percentage points overall, and by 8 percentage points in R&D. And in the U.S., open leadership roles filled by people from underrepresented communities increased by 16 percentage points overall, and by 9 percentage points in R&D.The iMac “Core i3” 3.6 21.5-Inch Aluminum (Retina 4K, 2019/Coffee Lake) features a 14-nm “Coffee Lake” 3.6 GHz Intel “Core i3” processor (I3-8100) withĀ fourĀ independent processor “cores” on a single chip, a 6 MB shared level 3 cache, 8 GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 SDRAM that is reportedly “built into the computer” —Ā but it actually can be upgraded later, it is just needlessly difficultĀ — a 1 TB (5400 RPM) hard drive (256 GB SSD standard with an optional 1 TB “Fusion” Drive, which combines a 32 GB SSD and a 1 TB HDD, for the same price starting on August 4, 2020), and a Radeon Pro 555X graphics processor with 2 GB of dedicated GDDR5 video memory. It also has a built-in “FaceTime HD” webcam and stereo speakers.
This model has a 21.5″ 4096×2304 LED-backlit 16:9 widescreen IPS DCI-P3 “Retina 4K” display (that runs “pixel doubled” to look like 2048×1152). The rear of the case is aluminum and is thicker in the middle and tapers to a razor thin 5 mm at the edges.
Connectivity includes four USB 3.0 ports, dual Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.2. It does not have a T2 chip.
Compared to itsĀ predecessor, this model is very similar externally and internally, but it has a more advanced processor and architecture as well as graphics processor.
By default, the “2019” iMac models ship with a compact aluminum Apple Magic Keyboard and the multi-touch “Magic Mouse 2”. For an additional US$30, you can upgrade from the default keyboard to the “Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad” and for an additional US$50, you also can upgrade from the Magic Mouse 2 to the “Magic Trackpad 2,” which provides multi-touch and pressure-sensitive “Force Touch” capabilities.MAC
