Shipping estimates for 27-inch iMac continue to decline, now through September

Amid rumors and signs of an upcoming iMac update, supplies of Apple’s current 27-inch pulgadasiMac‌ continue to decline with mid-range and high-end stock configurations now seeing shipping estimates delayed in September .

The 27-inch ‌iMac‌ has seen tight supplies and extended shipping estimates for months, but the situation has gradually worsened to the point that new buyers can now expect to wait almost two months to receive their machines.

Rumors of an impending ‌iMac‌ update date back to March, when the trusted filter CoinX indicated that one would be arriving “soon.” A few weeks later, the news emerged of a new 23-inch iMac that will arrive in the second half of the year, while BloombergMark Gurman noted that a “substantial” iMac update that could include a redesign would come later in the year.

As WWDC approached, occasional leaker Sonny Dickson claimed that a redesigned iMac with “iPad Pro design language” would arrive at the conference, but it did not materialize, leaving considerable uncertainty about when we should expect an update to arrive.

At the bottom is Apple’s transition to Apple Silicon on its Mac line, as analyst Ming-Chi Kuo noted that a redesigned 24-inch ignediMac‌ will be one of the first machines to make the move, and Apple announced that the first Apple Silicon-based Macs will launch before the end of the year.

Kuo also said that the current Intel-based ‌iMac‌ will receive one more update in the third quarter of this year, which would be between now and the end of September, and we have indeed seen a recent Geekbench benchmark for an apparent unreiMac‌ outfitted unreleased with Unpublished Intel Comet Lake-S and AMD graphics processors.

So when will we see the next ‌iMac‌ update? It is difficult to say right now. We haven’t heard any specific rumors of an update coming in the very near future, but Apple is rumored to launch an Apple Silicon-based ‌iMac‌ before the end of the year, it appears that this latest version of Intel should arrive sooner rather than later. . Even an update right now would leave a relatively short update cycle unless the Apple Silicon-based ‌iMac‌ due out later this year is intended to be sold alongside Intel-based models during a transition period.
