So people claim there will be a redesign, Which I agree on. Then they say reason it has taken so long is because there are problems making it. Which I also agree, I'll now stick with my 2011 model and buy on the second iteration of this redesign, NO WAY am i going to be the guinea pig for Apple on a product that is clearly having problem at the plant.
I'll look forward to todays event but I've made my decisions now to hold off, besides not as if my 2011 model is not SUPERB at what i throw at it or is slow, I was being greedy in wanting the new design, but seems like way to mush hassle as new iMacs (redesigns) always come with problems on first iteration.

Didn't find any tweet where Jim was sayin this,you said podcast..ok,but i don't buy it.

This is incredible,Apple isn't able to build a desktop anymore?
THEY can just swap the cpu,the motherboard and the Gpu while retaining the old superb design,or even less,"build" an MXM GPU with 680m for the SandyBridge we already have..,this is ridicoulous.
That's a good point, assuming the rumors for the delay are true. But just because there is a delay does not necessarily mean it is because there was a build problem, or that assembly difficulties would necessarily translate to problems in the life of the machine.

Dan Benjamin asked Dalrymple a couple of weeks ago on air about new machines but Dalrymple wouldn't say anything. A couple of days later on Siracusa's podcast Dan was adamant that we'd see a 13" rMBP.
Guess he had a nice little conversation off the air with someone.
I didn't listen to Dalrymple's latest podcast but if he'd suggested that there would be no iMac introduced today we'd have seen it retweeted and reported in Mac blogs/sites, I think.
There is no new iMac for today... All new items are added to the apple store. Such as the new mac mini and a new iPad with retina display.
SHAME!
SHAME!
What are you talking about? store.apple.com is closed. We don't know what items are being added. Please stop with the high school bs drama.
No they wouldn't. Portable devices sell in the tens of millions and drive Apple's profits.
Desktop computers are a minor part of Apple's computer business, which is driven by laptops. And Apple's computer business is a minor part of Apple's business.
Even the launch of the rMBP didn't merit its own media event. It was released at developer days.
I think an optical drive is still very necessary for a desktop. I understand it going away in the Mac Mini, but I think the iMac needs it. They just want more and more reasons for pros to buy Mac Pros over iMacs. Shame.
True, much more interested in a Mac Pro, but if the iMac lives up to my needs I'm interested in saving money. So far it never has.
I agree with James, I think it'll be a silent update on the website.
+1
I'll get a $100 external Blu-Ray/Superdrive and then watch Blu-Ray movies on my iMac.
I'm 99.99% certain an iMac update is coming today. My local Apple dealer has no current Gen iMacs in stock and they haven't placed an order for more of the current gen either, hinting at an update.
The guy in the store also told me an update must be coming as the current in store demo models are going to be shipped back to head office and become refurb units at a later date, that always happens when a product is about to get updated.

interesting.
Of course, they would have no clue as Apple won't tell them anything, but not being able to order new units is pretty telling.
Something must have let slip or I cant see why they would be sending back perfectly tidy and clean demo units back to head office for refurbishment. They would just stay in the store until the update actually happens. So I'm certain the update is coming today xD.
Yes it is ridiculous that Apple has had all this time to refresh a desktop and still is stuttering.
Maybe not a big update, but....
What about a small refresh, saving some big announcement for WWDC 2013 or another date? I dont see an iMac refresh stealing the thunder of the iPad mini o any other thing Apple delivers today, still....hope is the last to die.....

Last I saw, the nVidia 680M benchmarks trounced the AMD 69xx benchmarks quite soundly.
Then again, I don't know if the heat output from 680M makes it impractical for a laptop/all-in-one
iPad Mini's available today?
Doubtful. Usually a 10 day wait on iPads from being announced to release.
