**** the situation
I'm just reporting what I've been told by the owner of a store that's been an official Apple Premium Reseller since before the Macintosh came out, and from which I bought several Apple devices in the past ten years.
He knows no more than we do (he candidly admitted so) but he is familiar with the flows of stock for the simple reason that it's been his job for a long time. Also, people here have been reporting that Apple Retail Store employees have been suggesting that there will be no new iMacs whatsoever to make a quick sale, and this guy is willing to forsake the sale of the last unit he has in stock by warning me that it may become old in a few weeks' time.
If anything, I appreciate the honesty.
Well, event invitations are "supposed" to go out tomorrow... hopefully they'll include Mac-related tease.
A new iMac, a Retina MBA and the iPad Jr. would make for a mighty fine Christmas shopping season

Yeah i'm hoping that the invitations give us a little clue tomorrow
If the invitation goes out tomorrow, you can bet that it will be full of clues round here
"look at the 'o' in 'you are invited', that looks like an iMac screen"
"if you add 's' to that word event that makes it an anagram of Steven and since he rescued Apple with the iMac...."

Oh man.... I might just ask my butler to bring me the revolver on the silver platter tonight after brandies....
IF there was no iMac refresh this quarter and Haswell is due out in spring... do you think Apple will still go forth w/ the refresh?
FWIW..........B&H Photo, most iMacs OOS.

That link says (emphasis mine):
Several other reports have indicated that production on the new 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro is underway ahead of a launch later this month, with new iMacs also said to be in the works.
There were none for me. My 3.4GHz i7 came with double the RAM (8GB instead of 4GB) and VRAM (2GB instead of 1GB) so I saved $600 / 20% over a new unit.
My unit had no cosmetic issues nor did it have any screen yellowing. The machine had a clean factory install of OS X Snow Leopard (as I purchased it before Lion).
If you think Haswell is actually coming in the spring, you haven't been watching Intel for very long.
Apple still has plenty of time to release an Ivy Bridge iMac and give it the (usual average) 9 month shelf life before replacing it with Haswell not rediculously long after it comes out. I'd put the absolute deadline for an Ivy Bridge iMac around February in this scenario.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I think the most offensive - and stupid - concept in a whole host of world-beaters is this statement:
Wtf??? My urgency is WAY extreme....

Enough is enough!
This is ridiculous! Now everyone is saying November...no...December...no...early 2013! The lame and baseless cycle just perpetuates itself. If Apple doesn't announce it at the iPad mini event or the end of this month, then lets not continue to delude ourselves - it ain't coming this year then and that's the simple truth! To be honest, all the speculation and hype that's never actualized is quite exhausting. I venture to say...if at the end of this month, you want or desperately need a new iMac, then please get a 2011 model (thought I'd never say this). If not and you prefer the latest hardware, then just get a goddamn 2012 MBP. The MBPs are awesome machines and do perform head to head with the latest iMacs. Rant over....
