Usually the store goes down.
And when its back up theres new stuff. Im guessing your hopeing for tommorow as well?
Yeah, I'm hoping the new imacs are quieter
Do you remember if it was a morning intro though, middle day, 5pm?
Hm well all I remember was the macbook pro.
For that, it went down at like 6AM and came back up at around 9AM
Cant say I remember the iMac though =/
And not to be negative but I have a bad feeling its not tomorrow. Not enough rumors about stock and stuff ya know? The wait is killing me!

I was wondering something along the same lines, as well, actually.
For the MBP, wasn't the date announced a few days prior to the refresh?
I'm just wondering if this is Apple's usual approach, or whether they might just go ahead and add it to the store with no announcement in the days leading up to the refresh.

Makes sense that Tue would be the right day to do it with the update of Final Cut Pro. Have faith I wouldn't be surprised if they show off Final Cut Pro on a new Imac, what would be more appropriate.
As for supplies dwindling on the older models prior to the release, does Apple really keep that large an inventory of Imacs on hand??? After all its not the Iphone or Ipad.

All iMacs available within 24hrs with no rumours of supply shortage. This Tuesday update looks very promising and possible.
I hope you're right! I can't afford much more wait, but I'm not thinking it's likely. Time will tell...
my guess would be that this is a good sign that the refresh is close -- but until we see the same stock shortages stateside, we're not REALLY close.
end of april/beginning of may is still the fair assumption. earlier than that would be a lovely surprise tho.

There have been reports for the last couple of weeks about supply shortages. Several reports on these very forums as well.
Its like you expect iMacs to be sold out like macbook pros!? It's not like the stores gonna be all empty with their staff crying for more, before they release new imacs.
I think Apple's profit will be bigger the sooner they release them. Cause more and more people are getting aware of the upcoming refresh - meaning they dont buy the current imacs.

My local store in spain (not an apple store) have 1 27 inch available and thats a display model
iMac in South America
Im wating to buy my first iMac and Id like to know if the new iMac will be released in the Apple Store (Brazil) at the same time as in the Apple Store (US). I dont know about the macs but the iPad and iPhone usually take 2 months to get here, becouse they have to pass through a government telecommunication agency (ANATEL) to be evaluated before they go for sale. Im asking if the iMacs are released at the same time around the world or each country has its release date, especially South America.

it could be a possibilty that they release it next week or the week after because of the easter holidays
Fingers crossed on that note but will they be available at the apple store or will the new ones be available online first?The week of April 25th. Have your money ready.
I'm from Brazil as well and yes they become available (on the online store) here in the same day, at least thats how it was with the macbook pros and the mini, not sure about the authorized resellers tough...

That would work. Order it Tuesday and have it waiting on my when I get back home on the 1st.
