About the iMac Retina 4K 21.5″ A2116 (2019)
The iMac Retina 4K 21.5" A2116 (2019) (A2116) was released in 2019 as the Coffee Lake Retina 4K 21.5-inch iMac with improved processors and True Tone. The 2019 refresh brought 6-core Coffee Lake processors, AMD Radeon Pro Vega graphics options, and True Tone display technology to the 21.5-inch 4K. SSD became standard on higher configurations, and it was the last 21.5-inch iMac Apple ever made. We repair every component at our Perth Road workshop in Dundee.
Common iMac Retina 4K 21.5" A2116 (2019) repairs include 4K display panel failure, Fusion Drive or HDD issues, power supply problems, and slow performance on base models with mechanical drives.

How much does it cost to replace the screen on my iMac Retina 4K 21.5" A2116 (2019)?
The iMac Retina 4K 21.5" A2116 (2019) has a 4K Retina display, which is more expensive to replace than a standard 1080p panel but less costly than the 27-inch 5K models. Bring it in to our Perth Road workshop for a diagnostic and we'll give you an honest quote. Our technicians have over 20 years' combined experience with iMac display repairs.
Can you replace the SSD in my iMac Retina 4K 21.5" A2116 (2019)?
The iMac Retina 4K 21.5" A2116 (2019) comes with SSD storage as standard. If your SSD has failed or you need more space, we can look at replacement options. SSD failures are less common than the old mechanical hard drives, but they do happen. Bring it in to our Perth Road workshop for a diagnostic and we'll advise on the best path forward.
Can you upgrade the RAM in my iMac Retina 4K 21.5" A2116 (2019)?
Unfortunately the iMac Retina 4K 21.5" A2116 (2019) has its RAM soldered to the logic board, so it cannae be upgraded after purchase. The good news is that an SSD upgrade (if you're still on a mechanical drive) makes a far bigger difference to everyday performance than extra RAM would. Drap it in and we'll see what we can do to speed things up.
My iMac Retina 4K 21.5" A2116 (2019) won't turn on - can you fix it?
Aye, no-power issues are one of the most common iMac problems we handle. On the iMac Retina 4K 21.5" A2116 (2019), it's usually the internal power supply unit, which is a known weak point on Intel iMacs. Sometimes it's a blown capacitor, sometimes the whole PSU needs replacing. We can also check for logic board issues. Drap it in to our Perth Road workshop and we'll diagnose it properly - we ken these machines inside out.
How do I know if my iMac is the iMac Retina 4K 21.5" A2116 (2019)?
The easiest way is to check the model number printed on the bottom of the stand - the iMac Retina 4K 21.5" A2116 (2019) uses model number A2116. You can also click the Apple menu > About This Mac, which will show you the model identifier. If you're still not sure, just bring it in to our Perth Road workshop and we'll identify it for you in seconds - nae bother.
How long does an iMac Retina 4K 21.5" A2116 (2019) repair usually take?
It depends on the repair. SSD upgrades and RAM installations can often be done the same day. Display replacements and board-level repairs take longer due to parts sourcing and the complexity of the work. We'll give you a realistic timeframe when you bring it in - we'd rather be honest about timing than make promises we cannae keep. Our Perth Road workshop handles every repair in-house.
