Recognizable by its translucent casing and 15-inch CRT screen, the iMac was a clean break from the conventional design of computers of the time. It paved the way for several industrial innovations, including the adoption of USB and FireWire, while doing away with the floppy drive and other obsolete ports. The computer was equipped with a PowerPC G3 processor, a 4 GB hard disk, 32 MB RAM, a CD drive, two USB ports and an Ethernet port, reflecting the emerging importance of Internet connectivity at the time.

With 5 million iMacs sold by the end of 2000, it changed everything for Apple, marking a before and after for the computer market.  

The iMac's design has evolved considerably over the years. In 2002, the iMac G4 was introduced, with a single dome base and flat screen. 2004 saw the launch of the iMac G5, a model that integrated all components behind the screen, setting the standard for future all-in-one models.

Apple unveiled the aluminum and glass iMac in 2007 and added a Retina display to the computer in 2014. Apple introduced an "iMac Pro" variant in 2017 and, in 2021, the iMac was completely redesigned once again with the transition to Apple silicon.

As the iMac reaches this milestone, it continues to be the leading all-in-one computer and a top product in Apple's line-up. Although the iMac has not benefited from an upgrade to the M2 chip, a refreshed model with the M3 chip should be launched towards the end of the year. Later, Apple is expected to launch an even larger and more powerful iMac model, which could be a reintroduction of the iMac Pro.
