Absolutely. I didn't add context. I am a Brit, too, btw. ;-). "Never suspect a conspiracy when incompetence can produce the same result".

IMO, OSX is not in focus for them at this time due to their bottom line being iOS-driven at the moment. Their legendary supply chain leverage discounts over ordering, again, IMO. So, that leaves delayed/dysfunctional tech. However, can that explain the lack of updates to the Mac Pro?

Dunno, just feeding the fires of speculation.

While I don't usually like to speculate on upcoming Apple tech, in this case I'll make an exception. Realize that I have zero inside information.

A new iMac hardware designation (iMac 13,2) has been showing up on the public Geekbench database since early May at least. When this has happened in the past, it usually indicates that we're about one or at the most two months out from public release of that new hardware.

Obviously, it's been three months now, approximately, since early May, and there's no new iMac out. So my speculation is that the majority of the hardware is ready, but there's some new feature that is not ready. Maybe something television-related? I'm not sure.

Good info and logical conclusion. Thanks trevor.

I need my periodic tech fix and I was hoping the iMac would be it. Got many years of pics that need reordering, labeling, etc and I want this machine mainly for that and similar personal, non-business tasks. Here's hoping its not much longer.

Or perhaps the Retina display.

Are retina displays commercially feasible at the 27" size point yet then?
