Shortages of 27-Inch iMacs Hitting Apple Retail Stores

Any chance of a thinner bezel?

There will be nothing extraordinary in any new iMac. I don't think retina will arrive because the power required to drive it costs too much.

Usb3 and an improved screen will be about all with some speed bumps

Think about what would happen when your two year-old knocks the cord out. iMacs don't have batteries to keep them going.

I'm not dumb enough to have the cord where my kid, dog, cat etc can knock it out. Not to mention the likelihood they could do so with enforce to pull over a many pound machine.

My only question is - will the SSD option be priced somewhere close to reality this time?

I think the future of apple will be to include SSD drive by default to all the devices. As is doing for MBA, rMBP, etc.

Anyone that has a SSD drive knows that is imposible to go back to normal.

I am not sure how will be done with desktop line, since Apple do not like the idea of two storage discs on it, and SSD are not offering enough space itself to be standalone on iMac, for example. Let's wait..

Nothing on the 21.5, could it possibly be getting the axe ?

I doubt it somehow. They couldn't do that.

No, it will likely get a spec bump at least. It just hasn't sold out

It makes sense for the 27. They will start the retina move with the desktop the biz types are more likely to buy since they are the ones typically with the cash etc. some of those businesses might be the same oct to sept fiscal calendar as Apple so they are buying now to use up budget money so it's not pulled as unneeded. Plus that model could be used by some tv productions and season filming did just start up in this last month. Plenty of new shows with fat budgets etc. So the 27 has had more sales and if it is about to be revamped production on the old one is stopped.
The college and high school kids are more about iPads and notebooks right now. Thus the 21's slower sales at this moment

A imac with rhe gtx 690 gpu sure would be be nice...

Plz, no retina display, I'm stretched financially enough yet I really fancy the 27" iMac, but a premium price on a retina iMac could kill off my dream of owning one and I don't want a second hand one!

And before you all say get one now, my nightshift money to pay for it won't be with me until December/January!! Doh! Lol
