Delayed 2012 iMacs may not be delayed after all

Delayed 2012 iMacs may not be delayed after all:





Delayed or not, we've been waiting forever for the 2012 iMacs.

Last week, French-language Apple site MacBidouille published a rumor saying that Apple's latest iMac refresh would be delayed because of a manufacturing issue. Now, 9to5Mac has followed up with its own sources and is reporting that the all-in-one desktops are still on schedule for November and December launches (for the 21.5-inch and 27-inch models, respectively).
The report goes on to say that 21.5-inch models are now shipping to Apple's distribution hubs, and that there is a "high chance" that the 27-inch models will be available for ordering at around the same time as the smaller desktops, despite not shipping for a few weeks afterward. Even if the new models do make their shipping deadlines, though, Tim Cook warned in the company's most recent earnings call that "supplies would be constrained in a significant way," indicating that Apple may still have issues meeting pent-up demand.
For impatient iMac users who have been waiting for a refresh since April, when Ivy Bridge processors suitable for iMacs first appeared, this is just the latest twist of the knife. They haven't been waiting as long as Mac Pro users have, but it's proof positive that Apple's priorities are shifting as Mac sales become a smaller percentage of the company's profits, and as its desktops become an even smaller percentage of that small percentage.
