My iMac order with upgraded graphics and CPU just got pushed back TWO WEEKS. I'm thinking an update is imminent. As much as I need a new iMac, I canceled the order. Just my two cents.
Got a tip for us?

Just want to make sure what you meant by pushed back by 2 weeks. At the moment, iMac 5k along with few other Mac's has delivery date pushed to October 15, after any BTO selection. Is this what you are saying, or is it 2 additional weeks after Oct 15? So it would be around Late Oct/Early Nov.
Where are you seeing this?
Apple US has delivery dates for Oct 6 the fastest.. for every single iMac on the page
Yes, this. Originally it was for Oct 1 - 5. Got bumped to Oct 13 - 15.

Desparate for an iMac update as i refuse to buy year plus old tech (plus i don't fancy a machine that runs at 101 degrees c), will be gutted when they stick in the amd 395x or whatever it is and its no improvement on current chips and runs just as hot

LoL.. I need one bad for my photography needs.. if that's the case Im going to buy whatever comes up next no regrets.. I still prefer an iMac than going to a Windows machine.. Hopefully it will be Skylake..but if not... whatever!!
Just ordered the i7 5K 295X iMac yesterday here in Australia. Got a good deal through my Employee Purchase program, saved $300 and this included Apple Care. Delivery set for the 12th October. Figure I will have 14 days to return it in case there is a refresh. IMO I do not think there will be a 27" refresh this year, most likely just the 21" to 4K. However if there is going to be one it will be by mid-October to make holiday sales.
All retina iMacs will get a refresh. I don't see the 4K getting more recent hardware than the higher-end model. Apple never does that.
Broadwell has some advantages for the current 21 inch iMacs in terms of speed improvements and integrated graphics, but not for the 27". So I actually could see them splitting it up staying with haswell for the 27.
Hi everyone,
Here some research about stocks;
France: In-stock (6 Oct.) ---> 19-26 Oct.
Spain: In-stock (6 Oct.) ---> 15-19 Oct.
Japan: In-stock (7 Oct.) ---> 10-12 Oct.
Italy: In-stock (6 Oct.) ---> 14-16 Oct.
Turkey: In-stock (6 Oct.) ---> 21-23 Oct.
U.K.: In-stock (6 Oct.) ---> 14-16 Oct.
U.S.: In-stock (6 Oct. Fastest / 7 Oct. Free) ---> 15-19 Oct. (Fastest) / 19-21 Oct. (Free)
Any BTO extends the delivery +2 weeks or more. However, after 2 weeks if we see same delivery duration as MB pros was at may, an update might happen. https://www.macrumors.com/2015/05/13/15-inch-rmbp-supplies-continue-tightening/
Additionally, some countries says 5-7 days for some base model 21,5" iMacs.
Hopes for;
- Skylake CPU, (4790k is very good too)
- Other than a water boiler GPU for high-end,
- TB3 for TDM,
- 512 gb of flash as standard,
- 16 gb ram as standard,
- New keyboard, magic trackpad 2 and magic mouse 2.
After enormous raise in prices without any update in Europe zone, I want all of them.

Just wondering......How do you get a "much better display" than a retina?
Would anyone really notice?
I was at the Apple store today looking at the 27" Ret iMacs running El Capitan.
One of the female workers there winked at me.....
Either she likes me or this is a sure sign the 5K is due for a refresh.

Better ask her out because a clerk would have no way of knowing that.I was at the Apple store today looking at the 27" Ret iMacs running El Capitan.

May be, the web site is hacked by VW and there is a secret code which tells us optimistically wrong. =)
I checked again and it says 13-15 Oct. to Berlin.

"How do you get a "much better display" than a retina?"
KGI: upcoming iMac refresh taps LED phosphor material to boost color saturation of the display

I've read that also.....but that begs my second part of the question.
Would anyone really be able to notice?
Would anyone really be able to notice the difference between that and an existing retina?
The eye can only see so much.
I personally find it very hard to imagine a "much better display" than the existing retina 27"......that came when they went to retina.
Retina is about resolution, but there is so much more to image quality than that. Contrast, viewing angles, colour gamut, brightness, consistency. They all play their part.
Some people say they cannot see a difference with retina, so some people will say they cannot see a difference with better colour saturation. But many will be able to tell the difference.
Thanks for the explaination.....
The retina is so incredible, guess I just have a hard time believing there can be something much better.
Appreciate the input...
