17'' iMac G5 Out of Stock in UK, German Apple Stores

MacRumors · Feb 2, 2006, 09:56 PM

One user reports that Apple's German Store and UK Store have already removed the 17" G5 iMac from their listings.

The price of the 20" G5 iMac was recently reduced by Apple in an attempt to clear inventory.

So happy I got the revision 3 G5 iMac before they sell out. This is going to be a stable computer for many years.

What's the point of Apple pulling the 17" iMac G5's? Won't they have a lot of inventory on their hands?

I'm guessing that the Intel G5 sales have been lackluster, so this is a strategy to boost sales on the MacIntels.

What do you think?

everyone else thinks that they've sold out. if they reduced the price, and now they're gone, that's probably the reason.

correct me if i'm wrong, but apple don't keep much stock of computers. they match and manufacture them just ahead of orders. if they knew the iMac intel was coming out - which i'm sure they did

, they probably stopped manufacturing the G5 models a little before the introduction of the new machines, so there would be as small an overlap as possible.

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message iMac G5 Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

With apologies to WH Auden
