why does it say new in the apple store then? it didn't say new when the 4S was announced...

Who's Jeffrey?
 
Is it because the MBA and Mac Mini now have Thunderbolt?

Or, did these models already have Thunderbolt?

EDIT: This is the July update.

You are jeffrey.

And yes it did say that when the 4S was anounced. It said that back in July when the Mac Mini was announced and has said that since then.

Technically it is 'brand new' because it is the newest refresh of those models. The 2011 iMac is still 'new' because it is the most recent refresh.
