21.5-Inch iMac Availability Dwindling at Apple Stores

You made a lot of really good points on the video. Hopefully we will get larger iMacs too.
Sounds possible.... But... Maybe this is just due to chip supply issues at the moment. I think there's a bit of premature... you know... getting your hopes up.
It would make sense for them to do this. Apple currently offers a low-end model iMac (slim iMac aka 1080p iMac) that uses the same processor as the 13-inch MacBook Pro. So it would make sense for the 1080p slim iMac to be updated with the M1 processor to match the new M1 13-inch MacBook Pro. The more expensive 4K and 5K iMacs, though, both use desktop-class processors.
Would be funny if the reason for the delay was because European stocks were stuck on a boat in Egypt.
The Intel CPU for the 1080p model is still being produced (although the Coffee Lake CPUs in the upper SKUs of the 21.5" and the Mac mini are to be discontinued his year). Apple could easily still offer exactly the same model for a few more months as an entry level upset until the end of the transition period. Slash an extra $100 off perhaps, and it places the 24" nicely in the region of the top 2 21.5" SKUs price wise.
Any new 24” iMac coming out is probably delayed until June. I suspect they wanted to intro it on Tuesday, but cannot get enough components in stock in time. I still think it will have an M1 throughout the range, but I’m happy to be proven wrong. It will start at $1299, no more $1099 model.
Once you actually have a child of your own, the last thing you would ever do is sell it for a throw away in a few years Apple consumer product
The most anticipated hardware update in years. Finally the end of the chin.
Milked that design to death. Interesting to see how well Apple meets our expectations...in terms of value with config offers and pricing...certainly expect that upcoming beast 30inch + full spec modal to make some eyes bulge from their sockets.

There’s been rumbling of an “iMac Air” branding. I wouldn’t be surprised if the iMac lineup mirrors the iPad lineup with one Air model and two Pro models. So on Tuesday we see the M1 24” iMac Air and later in the year we see the 24” / 30” (32”) iMac Pro models with M1X (M2)
Well damn. That explains the rumored colors that will supposedly match those of the new iPad Air.
You’ve picked it for sure. My only question is if we’ll see the M1 put into the iMac out of they’ll go bigger M1x styles. If we get the new chip then is the Mac mini also on the cards? Notebooks too? Clear the deck before WWDC?
M1 - consumer [macbook air / mini / imac]
M2 - pro [Macbookpro / mini pro / imac pro]
M3 - on Ben Johnson steroids [macpro]
Why? What software are you running that needs 32GB of RAM? Genuinely asking as the M1 is very efficient with 8GB and 16GB.

My thoughts on the future of Mac. I think tuesday we will see more M1 products (that includes iPad Pro), with no M1X announcement until WWDC.

How Apple will integrate Mac and iPad
OK, full disclaimer, this thread is just guesswork - just fun and games. But... I have been thinking about why Apple included iOS app support in M1 macs. It is very unlike Apple to include such a “just because we can” feature, with no real thought behind the “why”. It’s all but useless for the...

I think this has to be one of my all time favourite macrumors comments.
Every single day with 100% guarantee I am using at least 24gb RAM. This routinely goes above 32gb RAM, hence I have 64gb in my main desktop.
