Rumored Product Introductions Today: Mac Minis, iMac, AirPort, Time Capsules? [Updated]

[iSlave]

The 24" Is more popular.. Why not consider they've dropped the 20"?

No way have they dropped the 20''!!! They've just added a further 1.5'' of chin!!

 

[sishaw]

New iMac is missing the ‘chin’.

Oh, Beetles are coming to iTunes and Safari will be Snappier™.

What are "Beetles"?

Update: MacRumors has received unconfirmed word that the "MC207LL/A" product is a MacBook running at 2.26 GHz with a 250 GB hard drive and 2 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 RAM.

That’s effectively the low end MacBook Pro.

so what is Apples concept of "soon"?

This year?

Stunning argument. My argument would be that the extra vertical viewing space of a 16:10 screen is superior to 16:9 screens and all my 300 wallpapers are in 16:10 format.

And a 25" 4:3 1920x1440 screen would be even better than any current screen below 30".

That wouldn't be a funny post.

A few years

Once everyone's excitement has reached it's peak crescendo

 

[jonnysods]

Be nice, man! He's from Canada. They need some excitement.

Woah boys! I'm an Australian living in Canada. And this is what I've become...

No, but The Beatles are.

 

[fleshman03]

Why only one iMac configuration?

APPLE HAVE DISCONTINUED THE 24'' iMAC!!!!!!

Relax. It's obviously not a full list. Apple likes to "leak" these things to drum up interest and cause all of us fanboys stop working.

Seriously, does Hollywood or any other industry dominated by Apple fanboys get any work done on days like these?

9to5mac.com

is offline. perhaps they have been busted for giving out all the correct info?!?

 

[djellison]

Does anyone else look at the fact that Apple can't update a few items on a store without shutting the entire thing and find it hard to take them seriously for business computing as a result?

I don't know anyone or anywhere else that shuts an entire online store - just to swop a few items around.

 

[SimonTheSoundMa]

What are "Beetles"?

Exactly.

Not the Beatles.

 

[jaw04005]

I sure hope someone didn’t forget to turn the store back on after the update. This is the longest store update in recent memory.

 

[gdeusthewhizkid]

yep. you mustve missed my follow up. i'm tapping my toes too!!!!
now he's saying 11:30. he can't explain why the delay.

whats irritating is i'm about to walk out to go to lunch. so ill miss it when it does come back online. it'll have to wait until i get back!!!

still not up yet...

There has to be some record of longest running Apple rumors. I am betting the Beatles rumor is second only to the tablet rumor.

 

[fleshman03]

so what is Apples concept of "soon"?

See: MacBook G5.

 

[Sky Blue]

9 to 5 Mac can see the future!

 

[talkingfuture]

I bet there is a heck of a spike on Macrumor's Google Analytics page after a day like today, must be a month's worth of hits in one afternoon.

 

[J the Ninja]

9to5 is now "restarting", after posting an article with a bunch of updates. Did someone draft a story for if the rumors were true, then accidentally click "Submit"? ;P

It is a marketing and cultural thing. It has zero to do with technology.

It's called "Think Different."
