iMac shipping date slip

Well the iMac refresh is already well past its average refresh time and Apple did get the Sandy Bridge processors early for the new MBPs last year.
A release now would hinge on the hope that Apple has the Ivy Bridge processors 3 weeks before the rest of the world. Could be possible! Not probable, I think. We'll see if this week brings a quiet update.
Apple definitely has the cash to pull the supply chain where they want it. Just a matter of how badly they want them early.
Won't happen this early.
My guess: mid April announcement with shipping a week later.
Here, almost all of Apple's products have seen a small decrease inprice. This might be a sign they are clearing up the present models and waiting for new models to arrive.
I hope this is not the case. More affordable macs = more people will use them, more people will enjoy quality computers. Been an iMac user for a year and 3 months today, the basr 2010 still runs like charm.

No, you couldn't.
And no, you wouldn't. An iMac that supported 64GB of RAM from Apple would cost well over $6000.

The BTO's for 8gb and 16gb ram with 1tb harrddrives are i. Stock. But 4gb are 2 days.
Most popular models starting to run low.
I am getting desperate now. I waited in December, really should have bought an imac then.
Who said from Apple?
No we didn't
I said support. If you take memory upgrades from Apple then it's your choice but the vast majority of us in the know take third party options, meaning 64GB is feasible to some users if the new Ivy Bridge chips headed for the iMac line support that amount.
Thanks for the pricing from Apple though.
iMacs on Amazon seem to be showing as temporarily out of stock with no restock date. Macbook Pros still seem to be in stock. Thunderbolt display is also out of stock on Amazon. iMac update before MPB? Possibly the MPB is waiting for Mountain Lion for HiDPI support for purported high resolution displays?
If anything, MBP would be waiting for the Ivy Bridge mobile CPUs, most of which come out in June. There's a couple April ones but probably not enough to properly cover the MBP/MBA line (particularly with the persistent rumor that it MBP's might become more like MBA's).
For fun, here's the (purported) chip release dates:
