When will iMac reviews start to show up?

[GuruZac]

Just wondering when all the tech sites and YouTubers will get their hands on the iMacs?

Starting in Mid-May or towards the end of May

Most will have to wait until they can obtain one through normal channels. Some will likely already have advance production units for evaluation - but even for these, the reviews will typically be embargoed until just before the first models are expected to reach buyers.

Its pretty much last years Mac mini with a screen attached? You could just look at reviews for that.

Well I wanted to hear about the speakers/audio, new display, and how the FaceTime camera looks. I’m sure all of those are an improvement over the 21.5” iMac. I’m not worried about performance as I’ve already seen enough on the M1.

Aren't embargoes usually based on the on-sale date as opposed to delivery date?

No, delivery. iPhones, for example, the reviews typically hit the Wednesday before the Friday they are released. So around the week of May 17 is when we should probably see the first reviews.
