I did the same exact same the day they launched, however took it back to Apple a week later for full refund. Really bad battery and heating up issues. Back with my trusty iPhone 4 for the moment. Calling by Apple store this afternoon as I am in town. Hopefully a new iPod Touch will be resistible enough LOL
Surely not long now
Now don't make me sad. I do not hope mine get these problems.
Store would have been down by now if they were coming out today.

Fear not. It's coming. Kuo can't possibly nail the Retina MBP and then imagine display issues on a 2012 iMac when no 2012 iMac exists. The main problem is that none of us are terribly good at deducing the launch date.

I know it's rumor which is heard before, but at least a mac rumor!
But not a word about the iMac unfortunately..

Finally, someone is talking sense. Wish only Apple can understand this same feeling!!
The interesting bit here is that they believe the 13" rMBP would be *after* the iPad Mini. I feel pretty strongly that the 13" rMBP and the iMacs would come on the same day. It seems we can't rule out the first half of November.
Screw this. I've waited too long and my late-2006 iMac is limiting the work I can do with it. Getting a MBP instead now.
For this to be believable you need to make it look like a quote...
"...we can confirm that the iMac will be updated sometime at the end of 2012."

Those who say the iMac is no portable
LOL! That is ridiculous! That guy is dedicated to his work(or porn). I hope he has a good case for that iMac.
I hope you know that a 2011 iMac still outperforms a 2012 MBP.

Ah, but a Sydney firework or a Honolulu firework?
Called my local Apple Premium Reseller. I only asked about the base 21.5" (that's what I'd buy and I didn't want to bug him too much) and he said they have exactly one in stock, but he supposes that more could be ordered without much issue.
He said that I haven't been the only one asking about iMacs lately (LOL) and when I asked if new ones are about to come out, he said that "they have been 'about to come out' for three months now." (ha!) He also added that for a while, some time ago, the stock had actually dried up and it looked like a refresh was imminent, but then it all went back to normal.
He speculates but he knows no more than us that it should be out in a couple of weeks at most since the iPhone hype is dying out. He wholeheartedly suggested that I wait if I can, something I particularly appreciate as he did so against his own interest of making an immediate sale.
I guess I'll brace myself for the rest of the month...

Well..actually he could..Imac is different by Mini basically for having a display,retina is the major trend this year..so ,if all the hardware parts were available..which could be the reason behind the delay...well something with new displays...even more there was a rumor about better assembled displays..i don't remember..,i hate to say this because this utter delay is a pain and i wish to see it ending as soon as possible...as soon.. .
ps.Kuo?Where are you now?
Guys, need your help. This is my first mac and after ordering it just last week I am in a need for urgent upgrade.
All I want to know is if I get refurbished iMac what are the downsides? I don't care if there are few scratches on back of the panel as long as front of the screen is clear. But apart from cosmetic side, is it any different in running? does it have fresh install or what ever previous owner installed?
