Can we upgrade RAM or SSD on the iMac 24 M1?
No. Apple Silicon iMacs (M1, M3, M4) have soldered memory and SoC-integrated SSD. What you buy is what you have for the life of the device.
Buy at least 16GB RAM (not 8GB base) and 512GB SSD (not 256GB) when ordering. This is the #1 advice we give iMac buyers in Dubai. The storage is encrypted and tied to the chip, so data recovery from a failed iMac means repairing the original logic board until it runs (chip-off does not work) - get a free quote online.
Are parts available for the iMac 24 M1 in 2026?
Parts for the iMac 24 M1 are widely available. Logic-board work 3-5 days. Power supply same-day to 2 days. Screen 3 days (panel sourced).
Is the iMac 24 M1 still worth repairing in 2026?
Usually yes - depends on what's broken
5 years old. Most repairs are worthwhile. Logic-board jobs we'll weigh against current value at intake - no pressure either way.
Our honest take on the iMac 24 M1
First M-series iMac and still a great machine in 2026. RAM and SSD are soldered - what you bought is what you keep. Logic-board failures we handle component-level where possible; full-board swap is the fallback.

FAQ
- 24" Retina display / glass replacement on the iMac 24" M1 (2021) has a typical turnaround of 3 days and includes a 3-month written warranty on the panel and the labour, plus proper adhesive strips on reseal (not glue). Send your model through the quote form for today's exact price.
- No. Apple Silicon iMacs (M1, M3, M4) have RAM unified into the SoC and the SSD soldered to the logic board. The chip, RAM, and storage are one package. Buy enough at order time - upgrading later is impossible. The storage is encrypted and tied to the chip, so chip-off recovery is not possible: getting data back from a failed iMac means getting the original logic board running again - get a free quote online.
- Outside the iMac. Every 24-inch Apple silicon iMac (M1, M3 and M4, two-port or four-port) ships with an external 143W power adapter that plugs into the power connector on the back. On four-port models that adapter also carries the Gigabit Ethernet port; two-port models were ordered with or without it. So a no-power fault starts with testing the adapter and its cable before anyone opens the case. Typical power supply turnaround on the iMac 24 M1 is same-day to 2 days.
- Usually yes - depends on what's broken. 5 years old. Most repairs are worthwhile. Logic-board jobs we'll weigh against current value at intake - no pressure either way.
- Check that the external power adapter is firmly plugged into the back of the iMac and into a working wall socket. If there is still no chime or picture, the adapter, the power connector or the logic board is the likely cause, and we diagnose it free.
- Yes in most cases, by repairing the board. The SSD is soldered to the logic board and encrypted by the chip, so the files come back by getting that board running again - which is why we repair at component level instead of swapping the board.
- Each repair type has its own period: ports and other hardware 15 days to 2 years, and logic-board, liquid-damage and data work 15 days. The screen warranty is confirmed on your written quote, and the exact period is printed on your invoice.
- Walk in to our workshop in Concord Tower, Dubai Media City, a 3-minute walk from the Palm Jumeirah tram stop, with parking on site. If you send it by a courier you book, pack the iMac in its original box or a padded case; a paid onsite visit is also possible, subject to technician availability. Send the model and a photo through the quote form and we reply with a price on WhatsApp. Written warranty of 15 days to 2 years, depending on the repair.
