Updated Skylake 27" iMac this fall?

I was really hoping they'd release an updated *something* today, which would give me the go/no-go on a purchase. I guess I'll wait a little longer to figure out what's up. Though if I were you I'd just buy the 8GB RAM, BTW. It's much, much cheaper to jump to 16 or 32 after market.

Thanks for the heads-up re: RAM! I've thought about that... Would you recommend the Crucial brand of RAM for the 5k iMac? Looks easy enough to install. Hmm. And the price of 32GB apple RAM is just ridiculous.

Oh, and I am anxiously waiting to see what they do as well. I look at it this way: If I order the existing 5k today I won't have it for another week. And I have 14 days from the day I receive it to return for no reason. So that puts me deep into October. If they were going to announce something, I would think/hope it would happen by then.
 
Well, ladies and gentlemen, delivery of any form of customized iMacs is now >7 days ;). Standard option is still available, but as soon as you choose ANY option you get "delivers Oct 8"!!! :);):apple:

Yup! Crucial's been good to me in the past. Corsair's also good. I know some people go with OWC, but I've never tried it.

I'm surprised the Apple store isn't down at least for the store page updates...

Ah!! About to walk into a meeting that should finish around 1:30pm. I will not be sad if when I hop back on here in a couple hours I learn that silent refreshes have commenced :D

How childish....

Believe what you want....Fact is you don't know if they knew anything or they didn't, now do you?
Do you work for Apple to make such comments?
Denial...

I asked them a specific question...........They said there was no update coming to the iMac line on 9/30 when I spoke to Apple tech support concerning my iMac order. There is no reason why would they say such rather than we don't know.
I give credit where credit is due and have more of an open mind than some of you....

Fact is fact, they where correct. More than I can say for most on this thread. ;)

The only thing that's childish is you being so niave.

Think of it this way:
Someone asks you if the new iPhone 7 will be released this Friday, and you would naturally reply "No! of course not! No chance!" Friday comes, and no iPhone 7. Yes, you were 100% correct. Does that mean you have insider knowledge of Apple releases or somehow know more than anyone else? No.

Unfortunately this is also true of the Macbook Pros, which are still listed as 'new' and therefore unlikely to get an upgrade anytime soon... Still, fingers crossed.

"Niave"? What's that? :rolleyes:

Believe what you want......give it a rest.
 
I'm only interested in Skylake; specifically for DDR4 support, which means the possibility of 64GB RAM.

At this point I am prepared to wait.
Most probably Oct 2016

Im over waiting,My huge Photoshop sessions getting very sluggish on Macbook Pro. If nothing happens by next week I will get a refurb at least that way I can justify the value drop of current Imac once new one is released. Anything is better than my current macbook retina.

At this point I'm just wondering where El Capitan is. I'm surprised it's not out yet. I reckon once it launches we'll know for certain if any hardware accompanies it. (Not hopeful at this point though. Will probably order an iMac tonight regardless.)

Edit: released as I was posting. Heh. No Macs.
:(

Edit 2: The Apple site hasn't been updated yet.

Yeah, I've kinda lost hope that we'll hear anything today or tomorrow. Maybe late October or early November.

Website's updated now. My guess is late October. November/December I think are off-limits for this sort of things, because of Christmas shopping and whatnot.

But I also bet we won't see a proper update to the 27's until the next big apple event. The low-end 27 is still marked as 'new' -- I'm betting at the earliest it will be January or February.

Atleast we can now be pretty sure that the update, if its not coming this year, will be a major one 2016.
 
In the German store, changing options lets the shipping date slip to October 13.-15.

Since I want the 256ssd option, I guess the best thing is to wait a bit

Could it just be so they can get them out with El Capitan installed. I hope not, I would love to see updates now before I buy one, even a minor change would make me feel like I'm not buying something which is a year old.

Exactly. People keep saying if you need it now buy it, it's perfectly good. But it IS a year old, and update IS around the corner! :)
 
All the laptops are in stock and have reasonable times if they are BTO. Something must be going on for the times to slip like this
