ThinkSecret maintains that iMac and eMac updates are just around the corner and could ship "as soon as Friday, alongside Tiger".
A previous report gave use expected specs for the anticipated updates.
B-52 Macer said:Well, after the disappointments this week (mediocre PM upgrades, no new iMacs/eMacs, no new iTMS) it would be really nice!
NewtypeCJ said:I'd like to believe this news. But I've been going on "could" and "may" and "might" since February. I'd like it to happen tomorrow. I'm ready to buy!
No iBooks?
Don't say that. Bad... *slap on the wrist*m4r71n1 said:My predictions:
- No Ibook before updated powerbook
- No new Imac
- A newer Emac
Yes. We'll see the rumored iMac updates happening just like the rumored PM updates came true. New iMacs are coming...swissmann said:The rumors on PowerMacs turned out right, let's see how this one turns out.

I'm just glad your sources are you, yourself, and you, while TS has inside information.m4r71n1 said:I really don't expect any changes in any of the consumer-level products. My predictions:
- No Ibook before updated powerbook
- No new Imac
- A newer Emac
ImAlwaysRight said:I'm not sure what to think. Right now I'm wavering 50/50 for a Friday update, but I overall I think it would be in Apple's best interest to introduce the new iMacs and Friday and try to get people to go with the impulse buy. That'd be a good move in today's impulse driven world.
aranhamo said:I've been ready to buy since I got my tax refund. So many times I've almost gone down to CompUSA and grabbed a mini (since they probably won't see an update for a while), but my wife keeps encouraging me to stay strong and wait for new iMacs. But now my old iMac is dying and I'm worried it won't last until new ones come out.

I'd bet my Power Mac's left processor that we'll see new iMacs/eMacs by Tuesday at the latest, as TS predicts. Near end of product cycles, 5-7 day shipping time, and no supply in retail stores is a safe bet by itself, let alone the inside info TS has. TS has a snitch inside Apple. Heck, Jobs himself may be feeding TS just to draw some attention.....
I never followed this internationally ... is the 10% off just in the USA, or has 10% also been given internationally at the roll out of OS 10.2 and 10.3?Ozzieman said:Well Friday has arrived in Australia
We have our System X Tiger
But shelves are still full of old model Imacs and Ibooks and no clearance or discounts
Maybe you are new to the rumor scene, but TS has been right about updates the past couple of years. Right now they cannot pin-point the date, but have said sometime Fri-Tue, so you can be sure it will happen. My left processor will come to you via first class mail if it doesn't.m4r71n1 said:look at the low end 1.8 G5 PM compared to the 1.8 G5 Imac... whats the difference...
PM is expandable
Imac is not, BUT has a screen
TS... you're a believer (GO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS)
