Hah hah.
Fact is though, that a 'refresh' is not going to be innovative. It'll have faster graphics, use a bit less power, be a bit quicker and have USB-3. That's hardly innovative. iMac style machines are pouring onto the market too, that for Joe user may look much the same as an iMac except for price differences and the brand.
In the notebook arena, Apple have been highly innovative. Solid chassis; top battery life; high speed; compact designs and providing next year's (or the year after next year form factor solution) right now. In the phone arena - so too highly innovative. So too the Pad arena.
Conservatives here say that the delay in the iMac is due to Intel, and due to screen card supply issues.
Both issues are ones that Apple would have been aware of a great deal of time ago.
So ... for me the question is, do Apple want to be innovative? Their mojo - their whole history - shouts innovative to me.
And another thing. If this iMac is going to be a conservative update, then surely Apple would have announced it along with the highly innovative macbook pros, as they did the Powermac's very minor change.
A singular iMac announcement would be required for something innovative and worth talking about IMO. Updating an iMac to the Macbook Pro's architecture with a bigger screen card is hardly something to shout about. Perhaps Retina will be, but I hope that the Apple skunk works still regard the desktop as something worth physically innovating.
