Apple launches new iMacs with Intel Haswell CPU






Recently Apple launched 5S and 5C after announcing the selling of 9 million units of the iPhone 5S and 5C in just over the first weekend, Apple has quietly introduced its refreshed iMac range with intel's fourth generation Core processor and support for 802.11 ac for faster Wi-Fi speeds.

This iMac entry levels a 21.5 inch and features a 2.7 GHz Quad-Core i5 processor and new Iris Pro graphics and is priced at Rs. 99,900/-. And the high end 21.5 inch model and both 27 inch models feature Quad-Core Intel Core i5 processor up to 3.4 GHz and NVIDIA GeFprce 700 series graphics with twice the video memory and up to 40 percent faster performance than the previous generation. The high-end 21.5 inch iMac is available for Rs.1,14,900/-

The 27 inch iMac is available with 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.6 GHz and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 755M for RS. 1,39,900 and with a 3.4 GHz Quad-Core i5 with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.8 GHz and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M for Rs. 1,54,900/-

The No.1 reason why Apple is replacing the iPhone 5 with 5c




Apple launched the iPhone 5c this year now they broke its long standing tradition to keeping its most recent high end phone model on the market and selling it out a discount. And we have a good idea of why it's all about money.

All things done point of us to a recent iPhone tear down conducted by IHS estimating that costs between $173 and $183 to build an iPhone 5c. Which means that it's arround$20 to $30 cheaper per unit to build than the now discounted iPhone 5. The math for Apple is pretty obvious in this case. It could either keep producing a hard to build high end model and sell it on contract for $100 as it's done with other older iPhones, or it could produce an easier to build model for less money and sell it at the same on contract price.

Seen from perspective, its easy to see why Apple isn't too worried about the 5c cutting into its margins anytime soon.
