iMac (Apple silicon) Repair

On April 20th, 2021, Apple laid to rest the iMac’s signature curved aluminum design in favor of a thinner, boxier profile, marking the iMac’s first significant reimagining since 2007, and first notable redesign since 2012. Designed around the new M1 SoC (System on a Chip) announced in late 2020, the iMac becomes the fifth device from Apple to adopt their custom silicon—along with the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, and iPad Pro. Apple launched the first in the lineup, a 24” model with the M1 chip, on May 21st, 2021, which is 11.5 mm thick and features a new, updated 1080p webcam.

M series iMacs are distinguished by new vibrant colors, white bezels, color-matched magnetic power connectors and peripherals, and 4.5K Retina displays. Notably, the Apple logo is gone from the front chin.

The model number and EMC number are located on the foot (bottom of the stand):

You can also find the model number through macOS by choosing About This Mac from the Apple menu  in the upper-left corner of the screen.
