Yields of 27-Inch iMac Displays Expected to Improve Next Month

It is having the display laminated this way that gave it 70% less glare and overall improved visual quality! It is not all about thinness!

Yup, I love the visual quality of my new 2012 iMac! Glare is much reduced, and everything is just sharp and crisp! Easy on the eyes.

This is 2013, you'd think they would have figured out these amateur manufacturing supply/demand issues by now...

Especially when you consider just how long we waited for the re-fresh...I've had my new 27" for a couple of weeks now and I'm delighted with it. But surely Apple must have anticipated a high level of orders...particularly BTO's and prepared themselves accordingly.

You nailed it.

I think the "problem" with this backlog is because Apple failed to accurately guess the high level of demand. This is given the fact that the iMacs had not seen a refresh for well over a year. It was long overdue, and many people were lined up to get a new iMac (myself included) the minute it was released. The problem was that Apple was not prepared to satisfy the pent-up demand.

well hopefully they'll catch up to demand in the next few months. though i was really hoping for a retina display in the imac
