When enough publications write about the same story, in this case the release of the new iMac line you almost have to report it as fact. Unfortunately, Apple hasn’t commented on the rumors so for now the iMac’s release is “unofficial”. So, take that for what you will.
AppleInsider is reporting that the new lines were finalized and sent to production earlier this September. They are now rolling down the product lines of Apple’s Taiwanese factories. Along with AppleInsider, Tech Trader Daily is referencing that the new iMacs and MacBooks could see release in the next several weeks.
While the release of the iMac is all but official, the features for the new iMac line is really up in the air. Many believe that the new line will be more affordable in price, and will sport a thinner design. Some more of the flashier rumors is that Apple might be embracing Blu-Ray for the first time in their history. This of course contradicts that Apple is looking to go ‘more affordable’, though they could counter that by making Blu-Ray optional.
If you wish to not wait on the new line, you should know that Apple is offering instant discounts of $100 and $200 on existing models. Which only fans the rumor flame even more, as it’s a sign of Apple wanting to clear out inventory for their new line.
