Will Apple Quietly Update the design of the imac

mrmarts said:
I didnt suspect this thread would get this many comments anyways after reading over everyones comments i believe a revision in the design will not occur this year for these reasons:

1. Steve Jobs will present the Imac at WWDC
2. Change comes with major revision of OSX blu ray support more hotter components
3. looking at a timeline i found on the web apple seems to keep the same design for about 4 years sightly modifying its apperance making it thinner

I agree about a major change in design...but I do expect an update to the existing line on either July 13th or August 17th. Probably a jump in GPU and/or processor speed and more memory.
 
What are you guys talking about!? :eek:

iMacs just had major updates. i7, 27", 2560x1440... Go buy! There´s not gonna be updates this year.

We need new Mac Pros next!

yeah that's the top end though, and the revision was end of 2009, six months later some would be expecting at least a boost in cpu in the base models and an all-round gpu update.

The average update/refresh timeline on the iMacs is 221 days or a little over seven months. It has been 239 days...or eight months. If you look at Apple's update pattern for Macs this year - the iMac is probably set for an update in August - on the 17th of August if I were a betting man. I suspect there will be a bump in the specs (better GPU, more memory, etc) but the form factor will remain the same. This would still be three months later than their normal refresh rate...but in time for the back to school crowd.

For some reason Apple has focused their Mac updates on the more common Macs - not the super high end Mac Pro. I suspect the Mac Pro will be updated in September and be released with a new 27" LED display.
 
A quad-core i5 in the 21.5" would see my wallet open. I don't think that will happen this year though. A dual-core i5 is very likely, but not quad.

I agree with that. I would have easily gone with an 21.5 inch i5. I just cant really accomodate that large screen lol.

I have to admit, I was duped by Apple on this, and it was my first dupe by Apple ever. The new iMac advertised it can be used as a Target Monitor. It did not mention that it will ONLY work as a monitor for other mac products that have a miniDisplayPort. I mean they have all the cable connecters IN THE STORE that seems it would convert the signal but it only converts the signal out. In order to convert the signal in you have to use an expensive 'active' converter box of which I can only find 2 and they're $100-$200+. I have to say, I am a bit annoyed by it. :mad:
