It bulges in the back, however. Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller did not say how much.<\/p>\n<p>The new model achieves its severe thinness in part by eliminating the optical disc drive. Apple has been leaving those drives out of its most recent laptop models as well.<\/p>\n<p>An iMac model with a 21.5-inch (54.6-centimeter) screen will start shipping in November for $1,299 and up, Schiller said. A 27-inch (68.5-centimeter) version will start at $1,799.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"iPad Mini arrives\" href=\"http:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/hardware\/24878\/ipad-mini-arrives\/\"><strong>iPad Mini arrives<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permanent Link to Apple 13-inch MacBook Pro with retina display\" href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/hardware\/62872-apple-13macbook-pro-with-retina-display.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Apple 13-inch MacBook Pro with retina display<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"iPad 4 with global LTE support\" href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/gadgets\/62884-ipad-4-with-global-lte-support.html\"><strong>iPad 4 with global LTE support<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple has unveiled a new version of its iMac desktop computer that&#8217;s one-fifth the thickness of the old model<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":24887,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[25,51,4430],"class_list":["post-24886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hardware","tag-active","tag-apple","tag-imac"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24886"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24886\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24893,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24886\/revisions\/24893"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
