Several brand new win7 PC ... not a single problem here. I can not say this with my Mac here at work...so who is right?!
While it's certainly disappointing and I'm sure not planned at all, the good news for AAPL is that most Mac sales are notebooks, and most of their total sales now come from the iPhone.
I don't understand why desktop Macs should be thinner?
I think what we're seeing is the increasing influence of Jony Ive. There needs to be a balance between design and engineering. The new iMac certainly looks nice, but missing out on holiday sales isn't worth a millimeter or two. Perhaps the lesson here is that Tim Cook should name a full-time COO so that he can concentrate on being a CEO.
To some they really are. If you have the last revision then perhaps not. If you're running with a 3+ old machine then I bet it's worth the wait. Not everyone upgrades with every new revision, as odd as that seems around these boards.
apple mistake
It was obvious in spring that apple was making a mistake not upgrading its EXISTING imac when they launched the retina macbook pro 15.
Then they would have had time to manufacture adequate inventory to launch the new imac in april 2013.
Apple was usually good at showing their new babies ONLY WHEN they are able to ship it to the masses or shortly before.
This time they went ahead of themselves.

So you would blame Tim, who is one man, for the faults of the many at Foxconn, who he has no direct influence over?
well, if you want to buy an iMac, you basically can't... you simply cannot buy a new iMac of any description, thin, fat or any shape!
if this situation continues up until next year, this is a serious f&@k up from Apple...not selling any computers for six months... crazy

How do we know this is the reason for the delay? We don't even know for dur that there will be delays! Geez people can we quit jumping to conclusions based on flimsy rumors!

So you're speculating based on previous rumors that were speculations themselves. OK....I get that impression from previous articles before the announcement that were hinting that there was issues with the 27" due to the welding process. I'm just speculating though.
Dear Apple,
Please continue to push the boundaries and use American-based engineering to come up with great new technology from manufacturing, to software, to industrial design. If the micro-welding process take a little more time to perfect, then take the time and please ignore the scrip kiddies and attention challenged idiots who think 2 months is forEvAR!

Your posts are really hard to read it's lazy punctuation has a reason it's not just pretty decaf coffee maybe.

Agree. Apple could have put Ivy Bridge, USB 3, and maybe even Fusion drives into the existing iMac design back then and they would have sold at least as well as the prior version. (I don't recall what GPU options were available then.) Meanwhile, they could have worked out the kinks in the new fabrication process and introduced the thinner iMacs in 2013 along with Haswell. Of course, there's no hard evidence (yet) that the delays are caused by problems in manufacturing the new iMac, but it's plausible.
Still, if some new iMacs are being produced, Apple could ship a small number in Nov.-Dec. just to say that they're doing what they announced, albeit in a very constrained way. That might make people even more unhappy, though.
I guess we will all appreciate the new reduced-reflection screen when we get to see it, but I would have preferred to have had a new 27" iMac five months earlier.
I don't play games so I'm not that interested in high-speed graphics--I would have been happy with upgraded chipset/USB3 and the retention of the optical drive. Fusion Drive would have been the icing on the cake.
If they just get display models into the stores they can build consumer demand (albeit at the expense of their current iMac, but they no longer advertise that anyways).

May not be the main reason, but I bet it is one of the reasons.
