The new iMac comes with a magnetic socket that doubles as an Ethernet cable

This story is part of Apple event, our full coverage of the latest news from Apple headquarters.

Apple showed up refreshed iMac line in his time spring event Tuesday. Along with a slimmer shape, a 24-inch screen and a rainbow of colors, the new device has also changed the way it handles power.

The power cable of the new M1 iMac is magnetic, similar to the MagSafe cables on the MacBook. Another change is that the power brick will have an Ethernet plug-in, which means that the plug can manage both the internet and the power at the same time, rather than needing a separate adapter for it.
