Managed to get a yellow 16/256 iMac with the same issues as most, delivery between May 25 - June 2 for Canada. What’re the odds of the range changing with it arriving right at launch?

you got a payments option using and education discount? we can't combine military/veteran and the payments. ?

Are you in the UK or US? Or elsewhere? In the UK, 16gb ram went straight to 27th May to 3rd June for me.

Same for me (in UK).

Anyone having an issue with your order showing up in your Apple Store account?

My Siri remote order is there but not my iMac. I did get order emails for both.

It happens when the stores get hammered like this.

Yes, saved $50 on EDU base price ($1249) plus $51 on Apple Card 3% instant cash back.

Not bad for $101 savings so I bought the Pro Apps Bundle (Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Motion, Compressor, MainStage) for $199.99.

Already showing on my Wallet App - Apple Card:

Delivery to my school site is a bonus since UPS / FED-EX won't leave it on my doorstep at my house....

ya.... i may have held up hubby's blue by a few days by double checking the order... i swear it had the 21-27 when i put it in the cart... but then i wanted to be super sure i ordered the correct configurations and took the time to double check and voila... his is a little later now....

Well, I figure that we've waited over 10 years for a change in style, so I can handle a couple more weeks to get what I prefer. Still VERY excited! I just hope going from the 27' to 24" won't be too problematic, but 24" fits better on my smaller desk at home.

Ordered
Both blue, both 256gb
One 8GB Ram (27th May on apple app)
One 16GB Ram (3rd June on apple app)

Most likely will return 8GB ram version.

So...I'm assuming the logic here is to see whether you think the Ram upgrade is worth $200?

i guess i'm old school where more storage is better! lol! i just can't imagine a computer with only 256 GB. my 2011 1TB is constantly almost full.

I always order the base model and use my school district NAS storage server + unlimited Google cloud storage for my stuff so I rarely fill up a 256GB drive....

Blue 1TB/16GB
June 1st - 8th

Ha! I remember when 40 MB was considered huge. That's what came in my Wallstreet PowerBook G3. "Terabyte" was a nonsense number like Gazillion. So big it seemed meaningless.

Keep an eye on your order - Apple tends to cancel one if it looks like a duplicate order.

They have done that in the past with the iPhone 12 and M1 Mini launches....

Silver - 16 GB - 1 TB Shipping May 21 - 28 (Netherlands)

This config now already slipped to 24 June - 1 July. So happy I was early!

Even though I still think the front is pretty homely (light colored bezels with chin and no logo) I'm in for a Blue iMac (the $1499 model). Costco has it discounted $50 (plus I get rewards from both Costco and Citi plus they basically quadruple the warranty) to replace my parents 2011 21.5" iMac.

Whoa -
Costco has the same price as EDU ?
And the warranty by using their Citi Costco card gives you 4 years ???

Makes me want to cancel my Apple store order for the warranty but the 0% for 12 months is nice and the $199 Pro Apps bundle was a steal....

Just checked my order status for iMac silver 16Gb/1TB order - First said shipping within 2-3 weeks at order status and while ordering 21 - 28 may, order status now specifically says; it will be delivered 28 may.
