Henny-Penny, the sky is falling in!
Its a rumor, not information! The Apple Store still lists November and December as the dates.

People can keep waiting fact is know one knows how much time they have on this earth. So best to buy when needed and not let a company control ones life.
Any smart person wouldn't touch one of these new iMacs until months after they have been officially released. At least thats what I will do. When people machines are dying a few months after warranty, or during you'll know. I refuse to be Apple guinea pig unlike some on here.
I don't believe these rumors. The fact that you can't purchase a 2011 iMac in store or online just tells me the release of the new model is right around the corner. What company would stop all sales of any product if the new one wasn't to be released soon. That's just plain stupid. Were not even half way through the month yet and people are freaking out. Website still says November/December and not one word from Apple about delays. It's going to be ok people.
Just confirmed with local Apple store and online chat, the 21.5" will definitely go on sale this month, and the 27" is slated for December. This wait is ridiculous.
...But as far as what Jony is coming up with: super thin retina Macbook Pros, thinner iPhones, thin iMacs, etc., I'm a happy camper and I hope they keep going.

What you are speaking about here is what the whole i-world is floating on. It is part of this product e-culture. People have got nothing better to do than get the latest something something ** Apple has used this to their advantage. It is like keeping a $4000 float in your bank account, hardily anybody does it and there is a reason for it.
I'm enjoying my mid 2011 iMac. I'll purchase this one at the end of 2013 with Haswellonce everything is ironed out. Clearly problems with these iMacs even if they still come out on time.
But keep in mind that IF Ives super thin designs are not reliably manufacturable than we all have reason to be upset.
The designs must be compatible with existing manufacturing capability - and that does not appear to be the case.
How, after the whole 2012 iMac fiasco, can you even begin to expect there to be Haswell iMacs in a year? I'm sure you're happy with your 2011 model, but with that logic, you'll end up like so many of us waiting for a machine that is perpetually unreleased.
Tim relied on one of Apple's major competitors (SAMSUNG) to provide screens and chips - too little and way late to start pushing for other suppliers. Apple stock is being beat to hell as pundits keep looking at the missteps under Cook's leadership (?).
Can't buy the new one.
Can't buy the old one.
This isn't good.
Tim Cook wasn't the person who decided to go "thermonuclear" on Samsung and put Apple into the position to find new suppliers.

My 2006 24in iMac is BEGGING to be replaced. This has been a brutal wait.
"Go on sale" could mean taking orders. Delivering it to you or an Apple store may be much later.
