Online Ad Evidence of Imminent iMac, Mac Mini and MacBook Updates?

[jmpage2]

Prepare to be let down I think - this screams of an actual server issue to me. Again - hope I'm worng, but............

Normally, if they are having a glitch they don't put a sign up saying "we are updating the store" for two hours.

OMG they have gone and released the tablet

Holy Crappers! I knew, just knew, that were going to soft-shoe that one right in. awesome!

But as I asked before.... do all the Apple sites run off the same server i.e. all the international stores as well? Because if they don't, it's one hell of a big coincidence....

When I called at 335 the lady said a hr more

 

[MacGadfly]

Ok, I really called this time. Didn't get much out of Jim, but he said the site may be down for maintainence, product changes or price changes. He did not have an ETA.

He quoted me the current (old??) price (1499 US) on the mid 24" iMac.

Wait, I just realized something... Wasn't the mid (2.93) iMac 24" $1799 before? He quoted me $1499. We were specifically talking about the Middle model (2.93) because I was shocked that he tried to talk me down to the lower 24" model when I told him I just did email and web.

ya think Jobs himself is doing the update? taking sooooooooo long

 

[frosse]

Actually I think it's odd that they close down the apple store, why not just have a duplicate of the site running and doing the updating "behind the scenes".

Just My two cents,I guess they do cause the url all starts the same.

Yes, I printed out the page a few days ago. 2.93 @ $1,799, 2.66 @ $1,499.

The reason why it's taking long the servers that run the apple website run windows 7

I just wore out the batteries on my wireless keyboard hitting refresh.

Then they wouldn´t create as much excitement as they do now, would they?

Server in Holland is also down...

Go to the apple store and buy some new ones.

No clue there - good question though. just doesn't seem to feel right for there to be an update.

True, however, I would say that the majority of Apple users (or soon to be) don't care about the excitement. Joe, 40, or Alex, 15, just wanna buy their iMac or $30 headphones right now. It's obvious that Apple are losing sales when their online store is down, wouldn't you say?

from the canadian site...

20" starting at 1199.99
24" starting at 1499.99

store still down tho. thats just the info from the mac section of apple.com. (20" was 1399 and 24" was 1799)

Sweden too.
