Thanks. I just pulled the trigger on one. All this delay is making me nervous about quality issues and honestly, I just can't take the wait any longer. $1099 with free shipping and no tax is a nice deal as well.
Got a tip for us?

Cook would be out on the golf course taking a call where Steve would be bashing heads together
...
Think of how many man hours these delays are causing now, all because Tim Cook is on the golf course
Do you have this other Tim Cook in mind, who says "Favorite interest is golf"?

Especially with their stock in freefall, you'd think they'd want to at least give SOME news on their products, even though the iMac isn't a huge part of their business...
Any corroboration for iMac delay rumor?
Has anyone read anything that independently corroborates the rumor on MacBidouille? It's remarkable to me that their brief post citing a "commercial source" has been picked up so widely and gotten so much traction. It's as if some people are eager for any bad news about Apple.
Now, it's certainly possible that the iMac has been delayed until 2013 - after all, even Tim Cook said that the iMac would be "constrained." However, you'd think that there'd be some other evidence of it.

i had asked in the 'mega' 2012 delay thread does this French site have a proven track record for rumors that turned out to be true. so far nothing from what i've seen to collaborate the story
Not even a sliver of evidence.
I suspect the publication got hold of the wrong end of the stick when they were told a lot of people would be waiting until 2013 for their iMacs, I suspect BTO 27's were always going to be arriving in the new year.

still shows november for 21 and december for 27
A sane voice in a sea of angst.
Although I must admit, I've gone and priced 2011 models as a plan B option. It stings just to think of buying a 2011 iMac.
Yeah, I think that the parts that say that always have. It still says November and December on the bottom of the main iMac page, as well as the store page.
Don't do it, hang in there!
When you have that absolutely breathtaking machine sitting on your desk, you'll think, thank god I didn't buy that other "old" machine.

I didn't buy the 2011 thinking that I'd hate myself because I didn't wait a month to get the latest greatest. I bought it because I could get a great machine at a really good price. I thought it out for days with both specs and machines side by side with price tags after upgrades and getting a 2011 (for what I'm using it for) was the best option for me. But I'm not the type of person who needs the latest, greatest. I'm happy with a machine that even though it's not the current cycle, I'm still am going to get a good 5-7 years out of it.

This was my reasoning as well. Honestly, I kinda wish I had gotten my MBP as a refurb for college years back; I wish I had known it was an option.
I can't get a University discount for the refurb in Spain, so the difference between the refurb and the new one is just +200€. Refurb is not an option for me anyway, I may buy a refurb for <=800€ but nor for 1000€.
I'm gonna wait for Decembre for the new 21.5", If it's nont in the Store, then i will say Hello to Win8. I have decided that if Apple is disposed to lie in the webpage (they say Novembre and Coming soon, next year is not coming soon anyway) I won't be disposed to buy anything.
So...Apple if you want the money I earn with my blood and work... hurry up.

I hope we won't see the iTunes trick, means they will leave the coming November sign until the end of the very last day of the month.
And hour later announce it will delay anothe month, and will change slogan to December and jan respectively for both machines.
So angry on myself that I didn't bought the iMac 2011 before a year...
( imagine this is the time I wait for the new Mac)

As someone already posted this site a time ago, i was visiting it from time to time. It had 21.5 inch mac arrival listed on 11/15. Today it seems they are already shipping out in 3-5 days - perhaps they just have not had time to update the page and this was set by system automatically.
They are also listing 27 inch mac as "Stock expected on December 14th, 2012 "

I know it is just some non-factor reseller, wanted just to bring a bit of positive thinking in here

No, for christ's sake. It never said "Coming November" at the top left, it always said "Coming Soon".
The page where you select your model said "Available in November", and has always said "Available in November".
