iMac Shipping Estimates Slip to 3-5 Business Days for Most Models

[ahlam1399]

iMac shipping estimates have slipped to 3-5 business days on the Apple Online Store (http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/imac) in the United States for all models aside from the entry-level 21.5-inch option with a 1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor. The high-end 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro is also **w showing an estimated shipping date of 1-2 weeks. Both the iMac and 15" Retina MacBook Pro were previously listed as in stock.

The majority of the iMac lineup, excluding the low-end 21.5-inch iMac (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/18/apple-launches-new-cheaper-imac-1099/) released in June 2014 and iMac with Retina 5K Display (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/10/16/apple-an**unces-imac-with-retina-display/) launched in October 2014, was last updated in September 2013 (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/09/24/apple-updates-imac-with-haswell-and-faster-pcie-flash-storage/) with the latest Intel Haswell processors, faster PCI Express-based flash storage options and 802.11ac Wi-Fi. Based on its average product cycle, the all-in-one desktop computer is long overdue for a refresh.

Nevertheless, the iMac is **t expected to be updated until Intel releases desktop class Broadwell chips (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/09/broadwell-early-to-mid-2015/) during the second quarter of 2015. Intel's first 14nm desktop processors, including the Core i5-5675C, i7-5775C, i5-5575R, i5-5675R and i7-5775R CPUs with Iris Pro 6200 integrated graphics, are expected to be an**unced during Computex Taiwan in early June, with some chips expected to launch in mid-May (http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/intel-broadwell-core-i7-5775c-core-i5-5675c-released-mid-may.html), and should become readily available as early as July or August.

Ultimately, the extended iMac shipping estimates of 3-5 business days could be **thing more than regular stock fluctuations on the Apple Online Store, although it is worth **ting as the release of Broadwell desktop chips approaches. At this point, it remains more likely that refreshed iMacs will be an**unced at WWDC 2015 (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/14/wwdc-2015-june-8-12/) at the earliest, but Apple's plans could change based on Intel's release timeline.http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/35070/f/648326/s/458a8695/sc/28/mf.gif
