If you've been eyeing an iMac of any kind, this final week of the 2015 shopping season has delivered unprecdented opportunities, such as 21" iMacs (Mid 2014) for $799, 21" iMac HDs (Late 2015) from $949, iMac 4Ks (Late 2015) from $1,369, and iMac 5Ks (Late 2015) from $1,549.
With the exception of the base model iMac 4K, which hit an all-time-low of $1,299 two days before Black Friday, Apple authorized resellers this week are offering all of the aforementioned iMacs at the lowest prices they've ever been, with free shipping and no sales tax in most states. Many of these offers are exclusive to AppleInsider readers and require the use of promo and coupon codes to achieve these industry-low prices, all of which are also listed in our Mac Price Guide.
We've organized this article as a buyers guide for iMac shoppers, broken down by price point. All iMacs are brand new and were released by Apple in either 2013, 2014 or 2015.
