iMac-Supply on the Decrease -- New Models Coming or Bad Economy?

by Lee Bains on February 2, 2009 at 01:15 PM



Last week, the folks at Apple informed retailers that the company's iMacs will soon be in short supply, according to a report last Friday on Apple Insider. Judging in part from that projected drop in supply, Apple Insider's commentators have inferred that the world will soon see the next iMac line. But could it also just mean -- in this shopping-averse economy -- that demand for iMacs is down, too.

At present, little is known about the new iMacs' specifics, but hints -- and conjecture -- abound. While Apple enthusiasts have already discovered that the new machines will run on the same NVIDIA chipset used in contemporary laptops (and the speculated-about 15-inch Air), some guess that the manufacturer will embrace Intel's new quad-core low-power processors.

As for now, there's little to do but wait and wave farewell to that departing generation of iMacs. It's really just as well; we don't have the money right now, anyway. [From: Apple Insider]
