NL update

Update for The Netherlands...

All models are in stock. BTO in 1-3 working days. :(

TBH i expect an upgrade just before or just after Father's Day. Just before, so the new models boost sales or just after to sell old stock for father's day..
 
I think we all need to take a step back and look for a second.

There are 52 weeks in the year = 52 Tuesday's a year.
Christmas Day this year falls on Tuesday.
Apple will not release an iMac on Christmas Day.
We're down to 51, but I have OCD so we're going to say 50.

The weather in the UK today is double 10 degrees celcius, which is 50 fahrenheit.

Taking all the above into account, we can all agree that we will definitely see an iMac on one of 50 Tuesdays (going through to 2013) but if the weather is 50 fahrenheit then the iMac release could fall on a Friday. Or a Saturday.
:confused: Either you made all the sense in the world and I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning or you are full on mental. Possibly the most insightful thing ever posted on mac rumors? Maybe. Either way I love it. After my second cup of coffee I will revisit this and reevaluate . LOL!

I wonder if people actually realise how long Tim Cook has been at Apple and working at streamlining how they do things, especially on the supply chain side. He has also been running the company day-to-day from the time Steve Jobs' sickness prevented him from working. It's not like they've left the company in the hands of the janitor.

you're right but i feel..maybe are just my expectations..that Cook will bring some news..
maybe its just my pain in Imac's waiting which talks in my words..:D

and for what it matters i'm still sad for Jobs fate
 
BTO Shipping time for iMac in Canadian apple store just flipped to 3-5 days!! Something imminent is about to happen! :)

Another square inch of paint dried!

Going batty here..

Tomorrow hasn't been ruled out yet. If it's not tomorrow, then I'm thinking it must be June; they haven't done anything closer than 3 weeks before WWDC historically.

But they have released thing within days after WWDC ended right? Can't remember when but I think it was Mac Minis?

Shipping dates slip just a little bit more

Hi to all,

just mentioning that BTO shipping dates in Apple Store Canada slipped today from 2-4 business days (been like that for the past 20 or something) to 3-5 business days. for the 27'' at least.

may or may not mean anything. just my $0.02
 
Should I start a new thread called how many times to you log on the apple website and check if the new iMac has been launched?
I hate waiting and this is getting painful. Come on apple. Hardly anyone is buying the 2011 model so release it already!

Pleas don't!!!
 
With no new news and the stock dwindling at 3rd party resellers, it seems like it might atleast a few weeks out, but not much further.

Keep adding info on applestores and resellers:)

Elgiganten.dk has removed reorder dates, they were 25/5 before... Only got 1 model in stock, and that has less than 5.

Remember that this thread is for shipping days and stock, not everything else. There are plenty of other threads for that;)

Yea, but this thread started nearly a MONTH ago squire. Thinking it would be days hence measuring shipping times. Good idea in theory. But we're now suffering refresh fatique. With it being nearly June, gloves are off. Therefore, I suggest we all resort to endless sarcasm and gratuitous reference to s3x, drugs or rock-n-roll to pass the time. Peace
 
Cyberport.de (German reseller): Shipping date of nearly all iMacs (39/43): today 06.07.12 (yesterday 05.24.)
 
Does this dates mean europe standard 7 of june or american standard 6 of july?

Given that he used 05.24 in the same sentence, I'm assuming those were American dates.

----------

But Thaís a prediction for the arrival of the new ones right?

Well all we know it is is a prediction from this reseller of when they'll have new iMac stock. It doesn't tell us if it's new macs or old ones. But the fact that it's so far off means they can't get them and the refresh is "close".
