If you’re one of those pros eying this iMac, you’re probably interested in the graphics card upgrade from the standard 4GB Radeon Pro 560X to the 4GB Radeon Pro Vega 20. The two additional processing cores will benefit anyone who works in apps that use multi-core processing-usually creative professionals that use high-end video, audio, and imaging software, but many other professional-level apps, as well. Previous 21.5-inch iMacs had quad-core processors, and the model a step below our review unit, the new $1,299 21.5-inch iMac, is still a quad-core computer. This is actually the first 21.5-inch iMac model to sport a six-core CPU. Our review unit has a 3.0GHz Core i5 processor with six cores and Turbo Boost support up to 4.1GHz.

While reviews for most products sold through Apple’s online store can generally be found elsewhere, there’s an obvious benefit to placing ratings and reviews directly alongside a product listing.Īpple hasn’t yet commented on why it removed the “Ratings and Reviews” section from its online store, but we will be sure to update if it does acknowledge the change.Two of the 2019 21.5-inch iMacs are built around Intel’s eighth-generation Core processor, while the entry-level $1,099 iMac still uses a seventh-generation CPU.

This is an interesting, albeit controversial move from Apple. For example, Apple’s Lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter had over 700 one-star reviews.īut now that the “Ratings and Reviews” details are no longer there, a potential customer has no way of knowing what to expect from a product unless they dive into the “Questions and Answers” section or a third-party platform. The Verge points out that it was not uncommon for Apple products and accessories to have unfavorable customer reviews through Apple’s online store. The change applies to Apple’s own products, as well as those from third-parties.

This change was first spotted by AppleInsider, who says it likely occurred around November 16, based on archive information. Below the product’s listing, you can find detailed product information, compatibility information, and a “Questions and Answers” forum, but no “Ratings and Reviews” information.

For instance, take a look at this listing for the iPad Pro Smart Keyboard Folio. Now, that Ratings and Reviews section has been completely removed.

Up until now, a “Ratings and Reviews” section would appear under the product listing, allowing customers to read other shoppers’ thoughts on that particular product. This means that potential buyers can no longer see reviews of products sold via Apple’s online store before they buy, while those who have already bought are unable to leave reviews.Īpple sells numerous different products through its online store, including its own products and accessories, as well as items from third-party companies. Apple has quietly removed customer reviews for products from its online store sometime this month.
