Apple has announced an major iMac update... sort of. It's said when
they will arrive - September - but nothing more about them than that.
The company's US and UK online AppleStores both today state that
they are no longer taking iMac orders pending the upcoming
announcement of a new line of consumer desktops which
will become 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," the site
confesses, "but our planning was obviously less than perfect."
Rumours that Apple is preparing a new iMac, possibly a G5 model,
surfaced a few weeks ago, with the inevitable assumption being
made that CEO Steve Jobs would unveil the machine at the
company's WWDC which took place this week.
So, the iMac maybe about to be relaunched again. And as far as I can see, it appears
that Apple are following an "every three years" pattern. The original CRT iMacs were
introduced in 1998, and the redesigned flat panel display iMacs came along in 2001.
Now in 2004, it seems as though the iMac is about to get another radical redesign.
