Apple Store Down

[PBP]

Isn't that usually later on in July/August?

Last year it was 1st of July. But maybe they are already preparing something.

O.k Apple I've had my lunch - any chance you can open up the store now?

Just noticed, can't wait! Must be the iMacs.

While iMac updates would be nice, I think that it's time for Apple to update their background for the website. That linen background...

Looks like there will at least be a low end iMac introduced.

Underwhelming if true. More annoyed I can't keep updated on my Pro's shipping status

Wow that's, what, 2 hours now? This is a lengthy down time!

Try 5! It went down just before 8am in the UK.

That and the top bar is very "Aqua" and not very "flat".

Seems so out of place.

Apple's status page says the store is back up (but it is quite clearly not)! Any minute now...

EDIT: It's aliiiive!

Store back up

This is a good move. These would be fine for a school lab or home family computer.

Really though apple, at least put 64 GBs of SSD for the system and apps.

Store is up

 

[xmichaelp]

Just a new iMac. Low-end model is now $1099 and comes with a 1.4GHz i5 and Intel HD 5000. Basically an early 2014 MacBook Air with a larger screen.

 

[xmichaelp]

Yawn.

Bring on the retina one please.

The rest of the range looks like the same specs with the 21.5" reduced by £100 and £150 knocked off the 27".

They didn't update any models. Only a low-end iMac was added.

 

[576316]

Wow, well that should not have taken 5 hours. One new iMac added, it's very cheap though and a nifty little computer if that's what you wanted.

Pity no reduction with the Mac Mini

 

[omenatarhuri]

Well that was lame, there would have been components available for high-end refresh as well.
