Norway,

Humac and Eplehuset, two premium resellers has it as "in stock", no info on how many though.

Elkjøp, norways largest Electronics shop chain seems to have a fair amount left.

Komplett & mpx, norways largest online stores have nothing left. Info says new batch unconfirmed June 22. I don't know how many they usually should have, I doubt mac is their big business.

and few others seems to have very few left. But mostly you need to order.

Generally it seems the stock is somewhat dwindling. But particularly I get the feeling that iMacs aren't selling as hot bread nowadays....probably because unless you are an apple fan there's really no reason to pick it up at the current price tag with the current specs. They will most likely stay like this until refresh, with minor in stock status...because those will be sold veeery slowly.

Looking at this poll, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. 100% of us were dead wrong.
 
I wrote a little script to scrap geizhals.at/de (a popular price-compare-page in germany). Results are:

geizhals.at/de results:
(
[notinstock] => 357
[available] => 98
[shortterm] => 87
)

Means:
Out of 542 resellers who have the one or the other 2011 iMac in their shop, 357 are out of stock, 98 have modells available and 87 claim to be able to get new units within a few days.
 
nice one, guess this means there's no imminent release but we are nearing the end...which it has seemed like for a long time I guess.

How about you hack into apples HQ and get some inside info as well ;)
 
Can't do that ;)
But I will add some other pages and publish the results on a dropbox page or something later today ... I'm fed up to check the availability of iMacs every day manually :p
 
Comet - big UK retailer - 238 stores:

21" (low end) - warehouse & store stock
21" (high end) - store stock only (low)

27" low end - OUT OF STOCK
27" high end - OUT OF STOCK

Has been that way for over a week now... things be brewin' :cool:

Saying that - I said exactly the same thing over a month ago as UK stock has been patchy for ages :D
 
German amazon:
27 low End : 5 pieces
27 high end : 2 pieces

That's not entirely correct. Amazon(.de) itself has no iMacs in stock (*1). But there are 3rd-Party resellers on amazon who still have some in stock (at least they claim to have).

Want I find curious is that "Cyberport" (one of the bigger, german premium-resellers) has most of the modells in stock, but for some they claim to get new units on June, 21th ...

I have been monitoring amazon. com, .co.uk, .de and .jp since WWDC. Models go down in stock at a steady rate but it seems that they get shipments of around 5 machines every 3-4 days.

.co.uk ran low early last week, and the low end 27inch is out.. and no longer saying more on the way. Amazon haven't been this low before. I would have expected them to have received more stock by now if there are no restraints somewhere.

Again I am just hoping. I am starting to get desperate for a new machine, and don't want to pull the trigger on last years iMac.
 
I think you're jumping the gun a bit here mate. Germany has a bank holiday coming up si I think that is why they have delays. I hope I am wrong.

All iMacs are now out of stock at Germany's biggest :apple:-Reseller. For the past 5 weeks, they had only 2-3 (out of 43) models left in stock. That means no opportunity to buy an BTO iMac in Germany (apart from the :apple: store).

:confused:
 
could mean something or it could mean nothing. Maybe they don´t bother taking in more as they sell bad because they are old....like mac pro. No reseller in Norway has those in store anymore because they are not selling.

Even if we're looking at a refresh of the iMac with ML, it seems too early for stock levels to drop. I would suspect they'll get replenished at least one more time before the final drawdown, if indeed that's what is coming.
 
Amazon.co.uk have only one model left instock. All others are out or says 2-4 weeks for delivery. They don't appear to have had a delivery for sometime. Wth Comet and PcWorld stocks consistently low or out of stock as well, it seems it is harder to get hold of them.

Anyone think they may release the iMac before ML?

Not sure when, but I feel confident in saying that there's definately signs that shipments/production is currently conducted at a slower than previous pace.
 
Elgiganten.se is completely out of stock on all iMacs since a few days back. What I found interesting now is that when you click on the three models they are selling none of the products can be found. You just end up on a page stating that the product could not be found.

Found this kind of interesting but with the lack of rumors im still not getting my hopes up.
