Didn't Tim say they had tightened up security? Also it's hard to smuggle out a 27" iMac. If its as I suspect just a speed bump and USB 3 wouldn't they just look the same anyway? Seeing a picture of a Sandy Bridge processor won't prove anything about the release date.

Nevertheless 5 days before WWDC there was a leaked list with new part numbers of the upcoming refreshes including rMBP.

At this point I'm 90% sure the iMac isn't coming with ML. But there still time we could still get leaked parts on Monday if by then there's zero rumors about the iMac then we can definately know they are not coming which really frustrates me ALOT!

You could smuggle the 21.5" or maybe disguise the 27" as a thunderbolt display. Try smuggling a mac pro. That would be tough, but if anyone questions you, you could knock them unconscious with it:p.
 
Of course there is always the option that the new iMac is sitting waiting, but since the old one is still on stock and apple didn't
Manage to sell most of the inventory as planned they just try to squeeze that lemon more...

This thread is hilarious, they could make a sitcom out of it. We are just talking about a computer upgrade aren't we?

I love your optimism, but if a £27 decrease is the biggest indication then I'm not too hopeful!

That a very small discount for a totally outdated system that should cost 200$ less, or even more.
Let hope that a new iMac will come in July and all this threads we wrote were for nothing.
 
Actually it's nearer £100.

Reduced by ¥20,000 on amazon in Japan. May mean nothing of course.
The only thing that it shows is that the suppliers know what we know that it is outdated computer, since they paid full money on it, they can't make any big discount so they try to reduce a little bit their margin, in hope that someone will buy.
If this status will continue like that until October.
Major suppliers are going to be pissed on apple, and not only us.

It's a third party selling on Amazon that jhave that price, Amazon still have it at £926. Third parties often try to beat Amazon prices for short periods.

I know you're just trolling, but I'll bite anyway since I'm bored. It's no different than an auto forum where people eagerly anticipate the rollout or first glimpses of a new model. Peace.

Yes I realise that but some of these posts, I mean really. One could be forgiven for thinking there had been a natural catastrophe with the earth laid waste to not a late computer hardware release. Many of the posters already have completely serviceable iMacs as it is but are hung up on having the latest and greatest bit of Apple kit.
 
I predict, with 100% accuracy, that we'll all know whether or not a new "spec bumped" iMac has been made available... on July 26th.

:D
 
It's been that price on Amazon UK previously means nothing

It was reduced in the local store on my small town in Japan in May too...............and nothing happened afterward.

Maybe I should have bought one one then...........
 
Apparently, stocks are low at several retail partners. I wouldn't normally pay any attention to this factoid but with a machine as old as the current model, I wouldn't expect any hitches in the production/supply scheme to occur. So maybe there is some hope after all, who knows. Well, we will know for sure in a couple of days.
 
anyone expecting an update next week should prepare to be deeply disappointed. For me ,nothing seems more out of the ordinary than before....slow sales and new small re-stocks coming in. This can go on till October for all I know. I think until we see a complete absence of an iMac most of what we see is just ourselves working us up over nothing.
 
dont u guys thinks its a big possiblety that they are releasing a spec bumb.. i want one soo badly and i dont want a 2011 model that whas relesed last year.
 
Next week either a new iMac is coming, or the previous generation iMac year with just a ML upgrade.


False hope and high expectations generally lead to disappointments sadly :eek:
