Here is How to turn your Mac on or off - Apple Support


When running, the power button will put the Mac to sleep (short press, ~1.5s) or hard halt it (long press, ~10s).

Usual means, as mentioned above and in the linked info, is to use the 🍎 menu.

Good grief there's a KB article how to turn off! They think if everything 😂


The power button on the iMac is not at all in an obvious location, having helped more than a few folks to find that.

And that obscure (arguably even bad) iMac power button placement being why I know about that tech note.

Nor might be the use of the 1.5s button-press sleep and the 10s long-press halt be obvious to folks, either.

So... yeah. There’s documentation.
