Apple’s Hello History

Back in 1984, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs introduced the world to the first Mac. The game-changing computer included a hello screensaver to protect its display. Fourteen years later, Jobs, newly back at Apple, introduced another new Mac with the words, “Say Hello to iMac. Then came the unforgettable first iPhone commercial in 2007, seen below.

Hello Screensaver 2021

That first iMac, the G3, would eventually be available in 13 different colors. The newest iMac is the first since then to launch in more than one color. It’s appropriate then that the new computer’s hello screensaver shows off the seven colors, including blue, green, pink, yellow, orange, purple, and original silver. By default, the screensaver slowly draws the word “hello” in various languages. For added customization, you can remove the different languages and also adjust the screensaver’s colors, although sticking with the default settings is best, in my humble opinion.

More Than New Colors

The 2021 24-inch iMac is the fourth Apple computer to include an Apple M1 system on chip (SoC) architecture. Unlike the Mac mini (2020), MacBook Air (M1, 2020), and 13-inch MacBook Pro (M1, 2020), this new model offers an all-new design. The Apple M1 SoC on the inside offers an 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU attached to unified memory architecture and a 16-core Apple Neural Engine.  Compared to the 21.5-inch Intel-based iMac it replaced, the iMac (2021) offers up to 85 percent faster CPU person, two times faster GPU performance in certain apps, the ability to edit up to five streams of 4K footage, or one stream of 8K footage, and much more. Thinner and more compact than previous versions, it includes a new power connector that attaches magnetically. The woven 2-meter-long cable matches the computer’s color, as does the new color-matching accessories, including the Magic Keyboard that now includes Touch ID. The 4.5K Retina display provides 11.3 million pixels, a P3 wide color gamut, and over a billion colors, plus 500 nits of brightness. There’s also a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, studio-quality three-microphone array, and more. Comment Name * Email *
