Full Mac Line To Be Updated In Q2? Black iMac?

looking forward to seeing this happen! i can see all the macs being updated, since its been a while since they were.

would love to see more colors of the iMac. hope it's true :cool: :apple:

Oh give me a break! This MacScoop site has absolutely no credibility. The fact that MacRumors keeps citing them as a reliable source is sad and annoying. Lets revisit this sites track record if we may:

1) They said a RED MacBook was coming

FALSE

2) They said new MacBook Pros were coming in September

FALSE: they didn't come to november.

3)They said Macworld would have NEW DISPLAYS with HDMI and iSight.

FALSE

4)They said iLife 07 would be previewed at Macworld

FALSE

5)They then said Mac Pro 8-core and new iSight displays were ON TRACK FOR JANUARY. I don't see them and it is almost March!

FALSE

6)They said a widescreen iPod was ready back in January and would ship ahead of iPhone.

THIS IS CLEARY FALSE.

Now they say all Macs will be updated before the second half of the year? NO S**T? Really? Wow, what insiders they appear to be. WOW Apple hasn't updated a single Mac yet so predicting they may before June is really something I'm happy I read today. GIVE ME A BREAK!

Ok, I dont want to get flamed so I will start off by saying a have no problem indorsing or supporting pruduct red But, I think a red iMac would burn my eyes. I just dont think solid red would look good with an iMac I cant stand the color ware version.

black imacs and mac pros could be a huge success, and i honestly think that red imacs could be successful even as a niche market. I see them being used in retail as an eye catching, unique and aesthetic way to decorate/function. just my .02

The last time the imac used color as a marketing tool, it was a fair success. I'd rather apple focus on improving technology (DVD HD drives, blueray, touch screen, os) that new colors. Black I can sort of see but for other colors go ahead and get a custome color design for your application.

I'd totally buy a black iMac if I didn't need portability. Hoping for an ultra-portable MBP. :crosses fingers:

I had the same worry, but the Gap has a lot of Product (RED) stuff that is not red or that has just a hint of red. If this comes to fruition, I expect a black iMac with the word (RED) somewhere on the back.

Well, introducing a current product in a new color wouldn't take anytime away from improving their techonology in current and future products. I'm sure Apple has Macs with BluRay/HD-DVD drives already in them and other products running around with touchscreens, they just don't think it's the current time to release them. When they introduced the iPhone Jobs stated that they had prototypes inside Apple for 2 years. The same thing when they switched to Intel, Jobs said OS X had been living a double life for 5 years if my memory serves me correct.

I don't think I'd personally buy a black or red iMac but I think it would probably attract a few more buyers to Apple, which is exactly what Apple would want out of it.

theapplecollection shows what an iMac looks like in black here.

Should the base be another color?

That sounds like something Magritte would invent!

Black anodised :apple: Cinema Displays please apple! :D

But a black iMac is good too :)
