If you have an iMac already and didn't pick it up this morning, then it's almost certainly not running the latest processor, since Apple just announced the new models today. There won't be any obvious external differences between the Late 2012 iMacs and the new models; you'll have to look at the CPU and graphics processor. See:

Sorry to reopen an old post, but I've just purchased a 2nd hand late-2013 iMac (or so thats what the seller said).


I'm always sceptical though, and just wanted to know if there is a way to check if my iMac is indeed the late-2013 model that included Haswell?


I've attached screenshots of the About This Mac section hoping it may help shed some light.

Thank you in advance for your help!


PS - I can't compare to the iMac specs link you posted above because its now showing the late-2014 models.
