iMac Photos? [Updated]

Friday August 27, 2004 9:32 am PDT by mudbug
Showing up briefly on a personal .mac homepage, then finding thier way to both Apple Insider and french mac enthusiast site MacBidouille, photos of a mysterious product have emerged that has been claimed to be the new iMac. The story surrounding the photos is fishy at best, with the box being opened in an elevator by a curious worker at Charles DeGaulle airport in Paris. The photos are fuzzy/blurry, and at first glance do not appear to have been photoshopped or altered in other ways (photos in thread). However, with lack of any corroborating evidence, we can only speculate as to the actual nature of the product in the photos.

[Update] The photos have been professed by their creator to be a hoax.

Kind of a departure for Apple if that's the design. Very uninspiring and monolithic. Doesn't have any of the character that the other iMacs have. But if its got a G5 in it, that might make up for some.

Me neither. They don't seem to fit in the package and it's much too small.

It' kinda reminds me of the picture of The PowerMac, before the announcement, I guess lets wait till Tuesday, it's probably fake, it looks like a screen with NO leg/base.

Maybe its a removable monitor for the new imac which can accommodate different monitor sizes

My first thought was that someone just found an iBook box, took a random company's LCD/computer, stuck it in the box and took some photos.

I really don't believe it but only on the basis that they look like the "power" line. That and I particularly don't like them and am wanting to buy a new iMac when they come out (providing the video card is better than what the rumored specs are which I somehow doubt). :rolleyes:

According to another website, Apple Legal has requested their removal.
