I am in the UK and ordered Silver 16TB 1TB + trackpad on launch day with delivery May 27 - June 3. My card has just been charged. Still showing as 'Processing'. Hoping for an update later today or tomorrow with an adjusted delivery date (currently showing June 3).
Got a tip for us?

It baffles me that we in the UK have ordered these machines on pre-order day, but we miss out on the joy of receiving them by at least a week of not more... I'm an 8+8, 16GB, 512GB with trackpad
I feel that pre-ordering items these days isn't the same as it used to be, maybe it's just my thinking about the whole thing, my delivery has been sat on the 14th June since I placed the order as well
Hey all.
Ordered like 2-3 hrs after it was possible and estimated date is for 8/8 16gb 1gb blue 14th June (Finland)
As I have now seen some of the reviews etc I am actually starting to enjoy that I will not be getting the iMac until a few weeks. Why? Somehow I like to be in this weird state of mind where I go daily (or more) to see if something has happened to my order (I know, will not happen in a week or two, but still). Kind of part of the game, right?

I ordered silver 16GB, and mine was charged on Friday but still shows June 3rd. I'm guessing it may move if the stock lands in the UK sooner.
UK here too, I received my order confirmation 4 minutes after orders went live, and mine says it’ll arrive on the 4th June, it’s still on processing. Yellow 256gb with 16gb RAM and trackpad.
Been watching the reviews and it’s very gold, but it’ll go ok in my yellow and grey themed office

UK here, order has finally gone from processing to preparing for shipment. Fingers crossed it arrives Friday.
Yup. Had 21-27th May date but is now on 27th. Hopefully it comes earlier. Ordered a 16gb version but that’s coming 22nd June. Not sure if I’ll keep that or not.
Just moved to Preparing to Ship for a Blue 8gb 512gb model. Delivery date 21-27 May, so may be here on Friday……. ?
Nice to see someone else ordering the base 8gb model ?
Finally moved to preparing to ship, ordered a few mins after release so really hoping it ticks to shipped tomorrow and arrives Friday.
Green 8+8 with no mods, UK.

I’m so jealous. My last iMac is a mid 2011 model so it’s done me well for 10 years (with an ssd upgrade ofcourse) so thought I’d better get the 16gb version if I want this one to last too
Have Apple officialy said when stock will be in shops to buy?
mine is the 27 2011 one ill be moving from,ive loved the screen
I reckon it's pretty likely you'll get it Friday or Saturyday, seems unlikely to stay on preparing to ship for a week.
You'll know by Thursday/Friday AM whether it'll be arriving so you can decide if you wanna chance it in an Apple Store.
My semi customized base BLUE iMac just updated after being stuck in Anchorage, AK.
Now it's in Louisville, KY.
Looks like 21 May 2021 will be the delivery day according to UPS:
It's funny that the central hub is in the east coast while I am in the west coast.
I'll try to locate the plane that flies it back from KY to ONT or LAX airport....
mine has been stuck at alaska since 5/14 and its probably in Canada now... i think lol
Same, I’m coming from a 27”, don’t think the 3 1/2 inches less will make much of a difference ?? haha.
The 2011 has done it’s job mind
9to5Mac:
"According to multiple sources, including Jon Prosser who has a good track record of nailing these release dates, Apple will release the new iMac, iPad Pro with M1 and the upgraded Apple TV 4K with revamped Siri Remote on May 21.
The May 21st date was first reported by Prosser a few days ago, with an implication that the 11-inch would launch one day later on May 22nd. Prosser has updated his original comment to say that the 22nd date was inaccurate.
Since then, other retailers have also started reporting a May 21 release date. For instance, the product pages for the 24-inch iMac on the website of UK retailer (and Apple authorized reseller) John Lewis informs customers that the new iMac models will be available then.
mine has literally just changed to preparing to ship
My green iMac (16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) just switched to preparing to ship. I'm based in the Netherlands.
Since the delivery estimate was 28th May - 2nd June, I'm hoping that means it will be delivered early (or at least on the early end of the original time frame).

UK based and finally 'preparing to ship'! I am so used to checking the app and nothing has changed that it took me a moment to realise that something looked different! Still saying June 3rd presently but I'm very hopeful for sooner now... not sure if Friday is still a bit of a dream though!
Yep same, UK 16GB silver still showing as 3rd June but preparing to ship. Fingers crossed for an early surprise!
I have 2 preparing to ship - both with date ranges and not exact dates....
