Alongside the iPad Mini, Apple also unveiled the new iMac. A stark departure from the previous models, the new iMac comes in a razor thin body that puts most other all-in-ones form other OEMs to shame. The new iMac was not available immediately. Shipping was expected to be around November or December depending on region. However with all the supply issues Apple is going through, there were reports that the new iMac has also fallen victim, and has been delayed till early next year.
Fortunately for budding customers, that is not the case. The new iMac is still scheduled for its November/December launch. In fact Apple is shipping the 21-inch model right now to its distribution hubs across the world. The 27-inch model will be available by december. Both these will be in Apple Stores around the holiday season just in case you want to be an early adopter.
However that being said, there is no word on whether Apple will be able to fulfil demand for these. They’ve failed to do so for the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini in the initial launch phase, though in their defence the situation is now a lot better, and iMac isn’t nearly as high in demand as the other two iDevices.
