Apple Updates iMac with Haswell and Faster PCIe Flash Storage

They don't ? What about the New Macbook Air with Haswell ? They showed this off a few weeks after intel released the chip in July.
Specs are still specs. Doesn't matter how small,, They could have slipped this in along side the "rumored" Macbook Pro updates next month..
Timing is probably deigned to clear out inventory to institutions like yours.
Think of it this wayyou'd have been out-of-date within 6 months anyway. That seems like a drop in the bucket compared with how long you'll keep these things.
I guess this explains why the iMac I ordered 2 weeks ago still hasn't come in!
Why the mad face, surely you'll be getting a better device now?
Better than it being delivered 2 weeks ago and not being able to send it back
I think that's a pretty simplistic statement. They put discrete graphics in devices when it makes sense. Pro models, and/or products that have the space inside them to fit discrete graphics get them. Integrated graphics usually happen when the form factor and/or price of the product can't support discrete.
The MBA is an example. Given it's popularity with professional users, and the issues around the original Intel graphics I can guarantee Apple would have put discrete in there at least as an option if they could have figured out a way to reliably cram them in.
Good job Apple. Now let's just get the Macbook Pro updated and I'll be happy. I'm also going ot be interested to see if Apple does have a separate event for the r/MBP. We know the iPad will have it's own event, most likely in time for the holiday shopping season, is my guess. But I'm still curious about the timing.
Yes and now is PCIe so much faster as well
Still desperately wating for Mac Mini Haswell update. Better graphics would be nice. I'd love to see some AMD or NVidia accelerated graphics in the Mac Mini, but even HD 5000 would be an improvement.
it wouldn't be 2x the cost... when they launched macbook pro with Retina Display wasn't 2x the cost.... When they launched iPhones with Retina Displays it wasn't 2x the cost.

Quick. Cancel it and order another with the updated processors and cheaper upgrades. And be happy you got in under the wire.
Probably.
No one said the iMac screen looked bad. Just that a retina one would look better. There was nothing wrong with my 1680 x 1050 Macbook Pro screen, but my 2880 x 1800 one looks a hell of a lot better.
It always amazes me when people act like they don't want technology to improve.
The Fusion Drive option is $50 less which is good and the SSD options are a tad different. This basically lines up with what I expected in the update.
The one question I have is the 780M the same specs as other 780Ms or did Apple get a slightly faster version?

I didn't say they were moving away just out of principle, but because it makes sense for most products (we agree on this).
Does anyone else think that if they are putting in "decent" mobile dGPUs in the iMac (consumer mac) that this may bode well for the rMPB to get a dGPU as well? I can't fathom Apple selling a 2K plus machine with just Iris Pro when their base iMac has Iris Pro. Thoughts?
Don't need glasses according to my eye doctor I have perfect eye sight and won't be computer less I have a iMac that works perfectly fine just won't be upgrading anytime soon until they come out with a Retina Display iMac....
