CUPERTINO, California-November 18, 2003-Apple(r) today introduced the
amazing new 20-inch iMac(r), the largest flat-panel display ever offered in
an all-in-one desktop. The new 20-inch iMac joins the 15- and 17-inch
models in the popular consumer desktop line and offers twice as much screen
area as the 15-inch display model, enabling users to view more than two
full pages side-by-side. The new iMac also includes Apple’s latest
operating system, Mac OS(r) X version 10.3 “Panther,” pre-installed,
offering over 150 breakthrough new features, including Expos=E9 for instantl=

viewing all your open windows at once; iChat AV, the ground-breaking video
teleconferencing software; and Fast User Switching, to easily enable the
iMac to be shared among multiple users.

“The new iMac builds upon the revolutionary, all-in-one, adjustable design
that remains unmatched in the industry,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s
senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “By offering a huge,
gorgeous 20-inch widescreen display, Apple has once again raised the bar on
what customers can expect from an all-in-one desktop.”

The new 20-inch iMac with its widescreen display and pixel resolution of up
to 1680-by-1050 is ideal for tasks such as video editing, creating or
watching DVDs or browsing the web with multiple pages open at once. The
brilliant LCD display gives you flicker-free images with twice the
brightness, twice the sharpness and twice the contrast ratio of a typical
CRT display.

Designed around an ultra-compact base, the iMac flat-panel display appears
to float in mid-air, allowing users to effortlessly adjust its height or
angle with just a touch. All iMac models include two FireWire(r) 400 and
three high-speed USB 2.0 ports for fast, simple, plug-and-play connections
to devices such as digital cameras, DV camcorders, the iPod(tm) and the
iSight(tm) video conferencing camera. They also offer the latest in
wireless communications with support for 54Mbps AirPort(r) Extreme 802.11g
wireless networking and optional built-in Bluetooth for wireless
connectivity to a range of peripherals such as cell phones and PDAs, as
well as the new Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Wireless Mouse.

The iMac line sports PowerPC G4 processors running at 1.25 GHz in the 20-
and 17-inch model and 1.0 GHz in the 15-inch model. All models include
256MB of fast 333 MHz DDR SDRAM and an 80GB Ultra ATA/100 hard disk drive
running at 7200 rpm. The 20- and 17-inch models also include NVIDIA’s
GeForce FX 5200 Ultra graphics processor with 64MB of DDR video memory, for
incredible graphics performance.

Every iMac ships with Apple’s iLife(tm) applications, a completely
integrated suite offering iTunes(r) 4 for managing and purchasing digital
music, iPhoto(tm) 2 for organizing and sharing digital photos, iMovie(r) 3
for making movies and iDVD(tm) 3 for burning DVDs that play in consumer DVD
players. Also included is a collection of productivity and entertainment
titles such as Quicken 2003 Deluxe, World Book 2003 Edition and the
recently introduced Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4.

The new 20-inch iMac comes with Panther pre-installed to deliver over 150
breakthrough new features. In addition to Expos=E9, iChat AV and Fast User
Switching, Panther also offers a completely new Finder(tm) that provides
one-click access to a user’s favorite files and folders; FileVault, which
uses the latest security standards and 128-bit encryption technology to
ensure that data in the home directory is kept secure and private at all
times; and enhanced Windows compatibility that ensures files, printers and
network services can easily be shared with Windows users.
