What to expect from iMac 2012 - Discussion

[Frankied22]

The last iMac refresh was a year ago today...

The Metro, a big seller in Germany has the base model of 21´and 27´in sale. I also think that the Imac become release within in the next 2 weeks.

Royal Jubilee

My staunch royalist friend at my local Apple Store told me the other day that Apple are waiting for the Queen's jubilee to release the new iMac. The main new features are the apple logo with a crown and a Union Jack subtly burnt into the screen. Apparently the start up sound will be the British national anthem. as far as technology goes, he reckoned there would be some new extremely small bits inside the iMac and some other bigger bits, all running off electricity of some sort.

This is why all those stinking closet republicans at the guardian are now running Linux. Long live the Daily Mail!

A year and a day actually

 

[Confuzzzed]

It's a small sign but UK online store timelines have slipped from 1-3 days for bespoke settings of the iMac to 4 business days

 

[radiohed]

Yup. Apple is clearly falling behind. Which awesome dell are you going to get?

You can do things quickly or you can do them right!

bestbuy.com shows online pricing for iMac 27" 3.1ghz + 1TB HD (MC814LL/A) for $1,894 now. Not sure what it was yesterday on the site though.

 

[Murtagh]

When Bill (a sales rep for Alienware) was asked about 7970m's, he said
"7970 currently targeted for like launch + 10 everywhere, pending driver qual. The date can easily shift, so don't bank on it. Nothing I've heard indicates it will be late just yet."

7970m's are pending driver certification. So maybe Apple is simply waiting for this? Alienware has a ship date of 5-31-2012 for any new laptop with the 7970m, I would think Apple will have the iMac available very close to when Alieware can offer it..?

 

[Scrapula]

That is going rate for iMac at resellers. It's been at that price for a while at various stores, Amazon, J&R, etc.

Why the F...k would Apple care about the British Queen's jublee to release new iMac. I have a real hard time beleaving this!

Lol it's a joke, don't you see?

 

[Crazy82]

..yes we will see..
but...
while i'd love to see an Imac that you can actually open..
as well as a Touch one with the pedestal able to be adjusted,from a flat screen to a vertical one
http://9to5mac.com/2012/04/25/imac-touch-concept-incorporates-a-touchscreen-ios-and-siri/
or like in this Apple's Patent..
http://gizmodo.com/5619933/imac-touch-interface-shown-off-in-apple-patent

i don't think we will have anything like this..
Ivy Bridge are out and so does the new Amd 7000 Gpu...but
to be honest all this silence about MacBOok Pro and the Imac
let me think that Apple will show all its new line
except the new mac mini ( to not steal attention to the Imac )
just at Wwdc..
that is just one month far... .
So next Wwdc will be Ios6 preview,Imac and MacBookPro ..
a really huge show...!No one should be disappointed and in any case i will buy my first new Imac.

Apple will not release New macs At WWDC! The only reason Apple would release new macs at WWDC would be if thay have a realy big upgrade for exapmle: iMac with tuchscreen and reteena desplay witch thay won't release just yet maybe reteena desplay but not tuchscreen.

I think release of new iMac's and Macbook's will be on this tuesday the 8/5 or maybe next 16/5 not later but, I can be wrong!!

This is most likely - even all the high end laptop resellers have their ship dates at the end of May. So there's clearly a delay somewhere.

Apple it probably just waiting until they can announce and offer for sale at reasonably similar times.

While all the parts are theoretically available out there in the wild, I don't think they are quite as available as we'd all like them to be.

Yeah i see that but it makes me mad anyway!!

Haha It's okay, the next tuesday is almost here! lol

you mean 5/8 5/16

 

[forty2j]

Pretty sure he doesn't. That's the way they write dates outside of countries in the northern portion of the western hemisphere that start with "U".

 

[Apple fanboy]

Not necessarily. In the UK we put day/month/year. I think most of Europe do to.

Greatest post so far.

I work for a US global financial firm and every tax form I see from foreign companies has the DD/MM/YYYY format. I think we might be the only country that uses MM/DD/YYYY.

It's damn annoying too. Why does the US have to use this?
