iMac Revision and iLife on August 7th?

I can see this happening without a doubt. New semester starts two weeks after the 7th for most university. Wouldn't want to miss out on all that profit.
 
I think we may see the emergence of high definition optical drives as well as a focus on gaming for the mac. I think Apple is working on getting developers to port their games, the WWDC announcements as well as the recent Gears of War announcement make me all the more convinced. We may see a strong hardware push by Apple to catch a portion of the market. The iMac will most likely become the flagship product with ads to capture new buyers and bring them into the store to check out Leopard.

Expect 20" and 24" models with C2Ds, but with a new design as this is the first chance Apple has had to work on it since deciding to focus on the Intel architechture switch, as well as providing a stellar laptop line.

On a side note, I think movie rentals will appear in iTunes once the new iPods are announced (early September).
 
So no Mac Pro revision, still?

I told myself I'd wait until they put in a decent video card to get one. The 1900 was nice at the time, but it's very dated now. I don't even need top of the line, but that card is 18 months old now... and it's the best they offer?

Also, I suspect the next upgrade will be to offer a Blu-Ray burner option.

Update your professional line, Apple! I'm waiting with my money! My 1GHz G4 can't hold out forever!
 
just in time for back to school...

Here's to hoping. I need a new computer for my office at school and of course i want to go with a new imac. So Aug 7th (one day before my b-day) is a perfect time with school starting 2 weeks later.

Now if i could just get school to buy me a new macbook to replace my PowerBook G4 then i would be in heaven. But I suppose all good things to those who wait...

:)
 
I hope so... I've been looking for a reason to get rid of my old ugly pc box and go back to my roots (aka apple). I would be happy retiring my old pc to a life of torrent seeding and remote storage :)
 
Haven't we all heard this before?
Keep on guessin' and you're bound to get it right

Thats not saying I don't want it to be true, but it seems we get excited every time we hear this rumour.
Ah well, if it does come out when stated I'll be a proud new owner :)
 
brushed alumimun

So where is that dude who ALWAYS puts in a post about apple products not being brushed alumimun?
 
It really really is about time for new

iMacs
MacMini
iPods
iLife
iWork
and
Mac Pros
Cinema Displays

From my perspective the oldest model currently is the MacPro even so the buyers guide tells a different story. But there was no real upgrade to the MacPro just a new BTO.
 
August 7th is a Tuesday. That's how I know this is true. ;)



... not to mention the back-to-school buying season.
 
only intelligent post here!

you are correct!

Think Secret hasnt had a good source for over 2 years, their track record in the past 18 months is lessthan pathetic. they may be correct with the date, but as stated above, it is a pure guess, and they are bound to guess correct once.
 
After all the speculation and all the rumors that have come and gone, these iMacs had better be good.

I'm still not ruling out just a minor bump in specs on par with the new MBP.
