[alexxk]

And the new picture has both a sky and a lake in it...

True!! hahaha

I'm telling you.. Apple is messing with us, bastards!!

God I love following this thread haha!
I agree with @jordanz. Why update pictures of a product you wouldn't update .

Haha me too! This thread has really brought a little fun back into soon being thousands of dollars poorer lol.

We might be seeing what we want to see

Seems like some of you should be detectives as your day job. Would never have noticed that small detail even though I'm waiting to pull the trigger on hopefully a refreshed (even slightly) 27" RiMAC.

I don't know but it is the new one

 

[Serban]

the specs are the same?
is the new one on both 21.5" and 27" ?

 

[NEWDOWN]

The specs haven´t changed yet and the 21'5" is the old one.

Just spoke to Apple classic secret squirrel, he knows nothing and nothing has been confirmed just rumors.

It comes down to the way Apple's site serves media images. Basically they use a bunch of data servers in different locations around the world to deliver content - I'm thinking that the new image hasn't made its way to all the servers yet, so when some of us are connecting to our usual local servers we see the old pic. Just a hunch though.

There's always the possibility Apple is just messing with us ;P

 

[Serban]

and yet all the rumours for the last 2-3 years came true regarding iPhones, iPad, macs etc
the leaks are huge

 

[Serban]

for those who see the new wallpaper can you search if there are new images for the accessories ? mouse trackpad keyboard?

More people are interested in iPhones, iPads & iPods than they are with iMacs.

Well I hope something happens today, my 14 day return period ends EOD tomorrow!

Same here on my Mac, but I opened the same link on my iPHone and the new image appeared. I think you have the clear the cache or something

Unfortunately that NEW sticker has always been there - that's how they differentiate between the lower end 5k model they brought out middle of this year and the late 2014 first release model.

Looks like there's been a price drop on the Retina iMacs in the US store. When you click "Buy" it shows as $1899 and $2199 respectively. The refurbs have also gotten a price drop.

I see this image on the Australian store "checkout" page as well. None of the other pages seem to have changed though (from memory).

Also, Apple is re-pricing the App Store in some countries due to exchange rate movements. http://9to5mac.com/2015/10/12/app-store-prices-rising-in-australia/

I remember on at least one other occasion, they have released new products when performing this exercise.

I tell you now if Apple are updating to Skylake and they done this picture because of it, I bloody love them!

Hopefully iMac price will stay the same in Australia - as @TechZeke just mentioned, prices just dropped $100 US in the US store, so I doubt they could justify hiking the iMac price again!
