'Brilliant Savings' Promo

Apple has launched a new promotion called Brilliant Savings:



The promotion runs until 2 days before WWDC (June 28th) 2004. Early rumors had claimed LCD price drops this week... it's unclear if this promotion is related to that rumor.

Queue the "No New PowerMacs till WWDC" rumours. Add the "No New Displays" rumour to the same list.

p.s. You are missing a "t" in the title.

Yep, this spells no Powermacupdates. Will we see the 3.0Ghz at WWDC than? I really had a feeling about 30 march....

This really looks like no updates until WWDC ! Not good news at all. How can they not update the G5s for a complete year !

:mad:

I agree it totally sucks... But the current powermacs are still good and they dont NEED an update, we would all just really like an update. I'm hoping this is just trying to push sales of 23'' displays and doesn't mean no powermac updates thuogh

Apple has launched a new promotion called Brilliant Savings ...

They also extended the "More memory for less" promo until June 26th from March 27th. (see http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/morememory_con.html and http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/cp_top_morememory_0327.gif).

To me that is even more telling than the display rumor. It looks like WWDC will be big. It includes the iMac, PM, and Xserve G5s, but not PBs.

p.s. And the "t" is still missing. :-)

Does MacRumors still believe that PowerMac updates are imminent?

I hate mail-in rebates. It is just away to make it so that not everyone will get the $500 off. Just take $500 off the price up front I say.

This might not have anything to do with the G5 being delayed (although it may well be until June). The 23" display is due for a major price drop IMHO and the $500 rebate could really stem from that alone.

Well, looks lilke we've got a whole bunch of 'should I wait until after WWDC to buy my new system' threads to look forward to! :rolleyes:

Agree. It really means even more than the display rumors. And I really don't care if WWDC wil be a big event. What if there will be only minor speed bumps and no 3GHz ? No update for a year is IMHO tooo long.

What happen with the PB and iMac and eMac ? No updates as well ?

Well.....techinically there was ONE update....the dual 1.8. But that is still pretty pathetic. I was quietly confident that there wouldn't be updates till WWDC. It seemed strange that Apple would so actively promote the current G5's (ie, website main page), and then upgrade them only weeks later. Consumers would feel ripped off. The more likely scenario is they had decided not to update them till June, and so began a new marketing campaign to try to increase sales of the current models.

At least this gives me a bit more faith that we will get 3.0GHz machines in June

Let the BitchFest continue. With the RAM offer extended and 23" CD promo til end of June, no new models. Apple must be having some major problems with the new G5s. Looks like a full year without an update.
