New iMacs to Go On Sale as Early as Tuesday?

MacRumors · Nov 26, 2012, 08:43 PM

Belgium-iPhone.Lesoir.be claims that Apple will be delivering the new 21.5" iMac to Apple Premium Resellers in Belgium starting on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the 27" iMac model is still believed to be scheduled for December.

The site also believes that the new iMac would be available for online orders at approximately the same time.

Separately, we received an unconfirmed tip saying that the new iMacs would be ready to order tomorrow, Tuesday, November 27th. We're not sure if the time difference (6 hours behind U.S. Eastern) explains the conflicting time frames or if one (or both) are simply wrong. Neither sources has a track record, but both guesses are certainly realistic. Apple originally claimed that the 21.5" iMac would begin shipping in November.

Update: Purported email sent to resellers from a distributor:

And if you don't buy it within 12 hours, you have to wait another 2-3 weeks for shipping!

Keep in mind, folks, 5400RPM hard drive. Do not expect fast boot times without fusion.

The same design but with no chin and less of a bump in the back because it doesn't need to house hardware would look great.

Although I know that its gonna be another year. But, considering this is using a new manufacturering technology, there are probably some kinks to be worked out in this first gen.

If apple is having problems with the 27" (hence the delay) I'm guessing the Tbd won't see an update intil the 27" supply is under control
