If (if) this third-party research firm is to be believed, what you're saying is that the iMac that's shipping now is popular. That says absolutely nothing about a theoretical iMac 5K. All speculation.
Where did you find this info? I checked my local store's site and there was no information that I could find regarding specific availability of models. Did you have to go through the ordering process first?
For that price the best you'll get is a 15" M2 Air. The only thing "better" about that Air is that it's portable.what a crap deal. I was hopping for 27 size, but this is just sad. Why get iMac when you get much better mac laptop for the price.
Just picked up a 16 core 40 GPU M3 Max at my local Apple Store in Germany. To my surprise they had some in stock. Got it in space black 😎
On the product page of the iMac or Macbook Pro after clicking 'Buy' scroll down to see local pick up where you ca choose to see store stock after clicking the 'pick up, instore at xxx highlighted
I would just ask that, if it is possible to find some MacbookPro Max in stores over the weekend. I'll be at the USA and wanted to buy one. Will check the stores! Thanks!
Thanks! Looks like base models are in stock where I am, but I tried up-speccing a model and that wouldn’t be available for pickup for a few weeks. I only tried one model though, so other Macs may be available sooner.
Because Apple was not ready to launch the chips but when finance told them the Mac had a 34% drop last quarter, PR said they needed to release something STAT.
Then explain why some are coming preloaded with Ventura pointing to them being stockpiled for some time like a delayed release would be? How does that point to a rushed release?
Them shipping with 13 is actually a huge red flag that they weren’t sitting around.
I really wish we could look back on this stuff and see what actually happened. There has to be an interesting story inside apple about why they made this thing. If they were truly planning to replace the 13-inch Touch Bar MacBook Pro, they would have planned it further in advance. But if it were just to use up extra chips (they bought TSMC's entire 3nm process for 2 years, so they want to get everything they can out of it), they would not have put it in their most popular model. They would have shoved it in the Mac mini or another lower-volume device. Maybe the iPad Pro.
My MBP Max 16 has arrived at my house 11/7/2023!! Original date was 11/15/23-11/17/23
If you select a config of the imac/macbook and click the 'pick up, instore at ... you can select a store by zip/postcode. Could be that this relies on location enabled in the browser to work
Yes when I do that based on the model, I get November 25-December 1st. I have to put it in the bag to see the date though. Seems broken...
Not very black. In indoor room light (overhead daylight white balanced LED Flood lights) it’s a very, very dark gray, not what I consider “black”.
The problem is not the number of models, the problem is the value for money for machines with overkill performance, underkill SSD/RAM specs, and utter p*ss take RAM/SSD upgrade prices in order to make the machines useable, when all the previous generation M1+ machines already had overkill performance. All this in a shrinking economy, with stagnant wages, rising costs, and rising interest rates.
