New iMac In September

As shown on the Apple Store:

Apple has stopped taking orders for the current iMac as we begin the transition from the current iMac line to an all-new iMac line which will be announced and available in September.

We planned to have our next generation iMac ready by the time the inventory of current iMacs runs out in the next few weeks, but our planning was obviously less than perfect.

We apologize for any inconvenience to our customers.


Reliable rumors had previously reported that the next revision of the iMac would sport a G5... with other claims that the iMac would sport a vertical case redesign with wireless keyboard and mouse.

Rumors (thread, thread) circulated of an updated iMac sporting a G5 processor prior to wwdc, but indications were made that it would not be released at that time.

Exactly. This is probably the first time in history.

This is a very un-Apple-like way to announce a new iMac lineup. An apology on a page in the Store!?!?!? Did they mean to do it this way?

My thoughts exactly. This must have been a huge screwup, because it is *way* out of character.

Apparently they ran out of stock while waiting for the iMac G5... ok. Fine, but what really confuses me is that the "New One" wasn't ready enough to at least show off at WWDC and get huge press????? WTF?

Edit: Maybe they think that pro users are willing to wait for a pre-release product while home users just won't put up with that. I think pro users understand why they can order something and wait fora couple months for it to arrive while the average home users just doesn't get that concept ( and for a good reason).

Oh this makes me so happy to hear apple doing this.

And finally, no more freaking "iMac tomorrow" posts!

This is so unlike Apple. However, they've handled product introductions and other matters rather differently since Steve promised 3Ghz a year ago.

I like it.
