As someone else has pointed out, the iMac is 10 years old this year. Do you think Apple is waiting for Montevina so they can release a newly designed iMac with all sorts of bells and whistles on it?
 
Smacks of car manufacturers bringing in anniversary editions for the summer sales slump, or to flog old models before they bring out a new one.
 
I think a new design will be out this year, the current all in one form factor has been been out since 2004. It's seen a lot of revisions but its still that same form factor.

Who know's what they'll do. Will most probably be slimmer, the space below the screen a lot smaller I hope
 
Don't think the iMac will be see a redesign until Fall this year. It just got a facelift.
 
Anniversary.

I LOVE YOU! Rofl, someone who finally makes a thread/notices that iMac's anniversary is coming up, I believe it was probably me who you saw mention this, tell me if it is! :D I really hope they do a redesign and spec upgrade at WWDC, as my birthday is August 17th and I'm getting an iMac. Come to think of it, I posted how I hope that they upgrade because my birthday is 2 days later (anniversary is Aug 15)
Have a great week!
 
I like the current look, but could see a thinner version with a much reduced chin. It would be sweet if they could combine the imac with the acd form factor.
 
They just redesigned it. Don't expect anything different for a while. The most that will happen is that they will shave off a little thickness.

Agree.

I think that the current iMac form factor (concept) is here to stay for quite a while. Instead, Apple will make evolutionary changes more often such as faster processor, better graphics, and thinner. Someday we may see built in side speakers and a TV tuner.

The anniversary macs don't seem like Steve Job's style. I doubt it.
Yeah, the 20th Anniversary Mac (TAM) was created in Steve's absence. They did not sell at the introduced price. Steve reduced the price from $7,500 to $2,000 to reduce inventory.
