Whi I think the next iMac refresh will happen in the next couple of weeks

Just one reason.

All the other macs, have the base gpu of 320m, it just seems weird that apple wants to keep their most sold desktop with a lower end gpu then the laptops and mac mini for the next months.

Therefor im praying im right and we will see a imac refresh between iphone launch in usa and the international iphone launch.

MacBook Air still has 9400M too. Apple has no logic in their update cycle. Mini was the same for two years and it had Intel IGP.

True, but I think the Mini was a case on it's own, because at some point they were unsure if they were even going to continue with the device.
I'm pretty sure that the iMac has a set future, so there's no reason to wait with updates.
An update within two months sounds logical to me.

They tend to be refreshed in June or August.

An i3/i5/i7 lineup with tweaked GPUs must be in the offing soon?

Apple update schedule figured out

If you look at the Buyer's Guide on this site you can see that Apple has updated a Mac computer every four or five weeks for the past three months. First it was the MacBook Pro, then the MacBook, then just yesterday the Mac Mini. There are three other Mac's still needing an update...the MacBook Air, iMac and Mac Pro. It seems to me that for the pending fall school sales drive Apple would want the MacBook Air and iMac to get their refresh before the Mac Pro. Using that logic, I predict that we will see a Mac update on July 13th and on August 17th. This fits their pattern for the last three updates spacing the updates out about a month targeting the Tuesday that falls in the middle of the month.

I suspect that the MacBook Air will be updated next followed by the iMac in August. Speaking of which...we just joined the Mac family last week with the purchase of a MacBook Pro and are eying a refreshed iMac to replace our desktop. I plan on ordering the day the update is announced. I can't wait.
