Apple has announced that new iMacs are in the pipe, this time using G5 processor and a completely new redesign [Well, okay, they didn’t specifically mention the G5. But they should, because I want a G5 in there, okay? – Joel]. Rumors indicate the new design, which will be unveiled in September, will shove most of the logic hardware behind the flat panel display. As usual, we welcome any insight or pictures or stolen plans from Steve Jobs’s nightstand.
And against form, this information comes from Apple themselves, who made an announcement on their website detailing that the existing stock of iMacs would not be replenished, and that plans to push out new units had slipped behind. It’s a commendable move, and one Apple should be applauded for taking. Likely, Apple had planned to announce the new iMac at WWDC, but was unsure about unit production. MacMinute adds the tidbit that Jobs may have dropped a clue at WWDC when he used the search terms “iMac” and “Paris” to demonstrate new search technology. Apple Expo is scheduled this September in Paris.
