The iMacs are also available with Apple's Fusion Drive technology for storage, which is effectively the company's answer to hybrid drives. They combine conventional hard disk tech with flash storage technology to provide both larger drive space and faster access times.

Fusion Drive is available in 2TB and 3TB configurations, with 128GB of flash.

Another option on offer is a pure flash drice, which is now available at up to 1TB.

Prices for the new models start at £1,199 for the 21.5-inch iMac with Retina 4K display and £1,449 for the entry-level 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display. The Full HD 21.5-inch iMac starts at £899.
