The iMac G4 USB2, released in September 2003, brought USB 2.0 connectivity to Apple’s distinctive flat-panel iMac G4 design.
The processor remained static at 1GHz but the models were improved in several other ways. The connectivity was upgraded by way of the addition of USB 2.0 ports to replace the traditional 3 USB 1.1 ports. The amount of memory remained the same but was boosted from 133MHz SDRAM to a much speedier 333MHz DDR SDRAM.

The FSB was increased from 100 to 133MHz and the hard drive capacity topped 80GB.

The combo drive remained at 32x but the graphics card used across the board was the 32MB DDR SDRAM GeForce4 MX.

The iMac G4 USB2 was the last 15″ iMac model offered with this distinctive design.
A year would pass before this model was superseded by the now easily recognisable shape of the iMac G5.
