I'm sure this happens to every new product cycle, but how does it work?
Right now you can order an iMac online from Apple and have it shipped in 2 weeks. Select the model you want, all the parts and upgrades etc.
If Apple releases a new model before yours ships - do they just cancel your order? Do they assume you want a machine with different parts and just ship one? What if the prices of the new iMac are different for a comparable size/model but not the same? Do they refund some of your money? Ask you to pay more if the new model is pricier?
Let's use the simplest example here: I order a 27" with 1TB and 32gb - Apple discontinues that before it ships and the closest is a 30" with 1TB and 32gb but costs $300 more.
How does that work when Apple releases a new product before they ship the old one?
