No iMac Updates at WWDC?
Appleinsider is reporting that Apple is unlikely to update the iMac at the Worldwide Developers Conference next week.
Rumors of a "late June" iMac update with "striking new industrial designs" have been circulating around the internet over the past few months. It appears users will have to wait a little longer. Our Buyer's Guide reveals that the iMac was last updated 273 days ago, with an average update cycle of 168 days.
Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference kicks off next week on Monday, June 11th with a keynote speech. Apple is expected to focus on Leopard during the keynote and reveal the "top secret" features that were alluded to at last years WWDC.

I wasn't expecting an update to a consumer mac at WWDC. Maybe slight updates to Mac Pro 2Gb minimum Ram and lots of talk about Leopard.

Not really a surprise. If there is going to be a new form-factor it'll be a tower, not a consumer device.

I voted positive on this.
Even though we need new iMacs, I'd really like to see the keynote mostly devoted to Leopard and its "secret features."

It's okay with me if the update doesn't come at the WWDC. I don't want it to be just a speed bump when it comes, though - I'm not buying a new iMac until the new industrial design comes out, and I don't want to have to wait for the fall. There is guaranteed to be a Santa Rosa iMac update fairly soon, the big questions are only when it's coming and whether there will be a casing redesign now or later.

Not surprised. But with such long periods since the last update (for this AND the Mac mini), what can we expect?
Are they getting rid of the iThing entirely?
No more iLife or iWork?
Changing to a different scheme? About friggin' time!

Hopefully we see some slight Mac Pro updates.
At least we get to see what Leopard is really all about.

As long as it's still going to be updated in the near future, I don't see this as a big deal. Plus, WWDC is a professional developer's conference - if anything we should be seeing Mac Pro updates, not consumer updates such as the iMac at an event such as WWDC.
Regardless, I am very much looking forward to the rumored new design. I might just have toi pick one up myself... :cool:
