“Apple may be planning to introduce new iMacs at this year’s WWDC. Previous reports indicated that Apple was preparing a black iMac following the success of the black iPods. The new machines are said so be housed in a much slimmer form factor, be faster, with larger displays and be ready for the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June,” LOOPRumors reports.
“An introduction of new iMacs would be a ‘one more thing’ surprise that is long overdue for the company’s all-in-one computer. The last time Apple updated the iMac was in September when it added a 24-inch model to its line,” LOOPRumors reports.

please make that so! I’d love a black model!
Seriously, is it possible to get the iMacs any smaller?
Hmmmm, I need a new Mac, my PowerBook is 2 years old next week and I want an Intel…
Also, a good source revealed new laptops are coming with LED backlighting. As soon as this month.
Hopefully the new iMac will support more ram, that’s my only concern right now.
bring it on!! i’ve been waiting to see if anything happens this june with the imacs before i bought one. pleeeeeeeeeease give me a 30” or bigger imac. i want a nice tv/computer hanging on the wall in the sun room. mmmmmmm.
Well, let’s hope this is true. An iMac refresh is long overdue. I’d like to see a Mac mini refresh, too!
I’ve got 2 potential family members ready to make the jump to the Mac.
One is dying to get a 24″ iMac. For the other, a Mac mini would be perfect.
Oh, I’m ready to upgrade from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro.
MDN Magic Word: VERY… uh huh!
INTEL CUBE!!!!!!
HEADLESS IMAC!!!
MAC MINI PRO!!
SINGLE Chip MAC PROS!!!
somthing inbetween the imac and the mac pro without a monitor PLEASE!!!!
An upgradeable Mac Mini would be a plus.
Then again, they may not introduce new iMacs.
Check out Intel’s sites. Are there new chips available? If not, no new iMacs. Predicting new Macs is no longer Rocket Surgery.
What I want to see is room for 3+ HDs so we can have RAID 5 inside. Never worry about disk crashes again! With 2.5″ drives we could have more than 3 with better throughput than a single 3.5″ and fault tolerance. More drives also helps out with upcoming time machine features.
“somthing inbetween the imac and the mac pro without a monitor PLEASE!!!!”
Get a Mini
someone should start a website called “rumour-tracker” or “record-keeper” or “scoreboard” or something like that.
Then, when LoopRumors posts anything, we can refer to their pathetic prediction record before taking anything they post seriously.
“I’m as happy as a little girrrrl”
This is cool. I could have a Bernie Mac next to my Fiona Apple……
In other news the sun is rumored to be planning another dance across the sky beginning tomorrow some time around 5:45 am.
Would it be possible for the next iMac to have an LED screen. Could this be why it is rumored to be thinner?
Any thinner, and most PC sheep would truly think the iMac is only a monitor…there would need to be some good advertising to go with it. “Where did the computer go”.

A black one would go well in my kitchen with the rest of the decor, though I hope it has a 17″ model, my white 17″ fits perfect on the counter.
@Moo
Dude, a mini is nowhere near an iMac in computing power, let alone a Mac Pro.
Minis suck in just about every aspects of their lives – I think a headless consumer machine might be a nice ticket.
Granted, I just bought an iMac in January, so I hate to see it be obsolete already, but still, a new offering from Cupertino might be nice
@TowerTone….
LAME
Funny….. but LAME.
Thanks for making Friday suck a little less.
Since Intel is going to introduce its Santa Rosa chip set next week, Apple should be ready to refresh all of its non Xeon based systems about the time of WWDC. So the rumor of new iMacs at WWDC is consistent with the availability of this “must have” technology.
DAMMIT!!!!!!!!
still happier with my new iMac but…
DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT
I’m done now and I’ll clean up my mess.
TT: “Bernie Mac next to my Fiona Apple”
Nice! Imagine the freaky, funny little iPods that pair would produce.

‘Thanks for making Friday suck a little less.’
Thanks.
For some reason, though, I have had that same effect on my girlfriend……
thread: agreed, it is about time for an iMac refresh, or even a total update.
non-thread: I’m with the guys who want to see in in-between headless Mac – between the Mac mini and the Mac Pro – that can be easily upgraded at home by a semi-capable user. Added RAM, HDs, etc. Starting at $1,000 to $1,500 and ending below the $2,000 mark (without extras). Lots of room, there. Single and dual bus models, room for a graphics card (and sound card?), open second drive bay, full range of USB/FW ports … LOTS of room in the market. With Mac mini and Mac Pro taken, just call it the Mac.

Are you talking about the First Day of Obsolescence Syndrome? I’m typing this on my (fairly new) iMac 24 and thinking the same thing. ;P My only real gripe, though, is the 3GB limit. Don’t think I’d pay extra for a black one, and a bigger model wouldn’t fit in my desk. Other than that it’s the most beautiful computer ever designed by man.

If it’s a gorgeous black model, call it the iMan and fill it with David Bowie.
Let’s all sing!
Mini Mac Pro
And I don’t care

I hope you mean his music…….
looks like it could be an expensive summer –
Kids the hols are cancelled….
Hey TowerTone,
Gimmy some of whatever your smoking.
Between you & TMF!!!
Keep it up.
So…. What, white is no longer the new black? Black is back? On an iMac? And white is now…what?
MW: come
Would the new iMacs have the LED backlighting Steve Jobs referred to in his open letter on the environment?
@ Twisted Mac Freak
lolz. I hear iMan is often full of David Bowie
Touch-screen iMac
Mac is Black!
I’ll take a stack!
It’s been too long, my old machine’s whack.
Yes I’m let loose,
stuck with SUSE,
My Vista’s hangin’ again
I’m been livin’ in hell, with this crappy old Dell
Forget the squirt, got a Zune to sell
I bought
New drives!
Blue lights!
Assuming everyone of them would make it right,
But my,
Maaaaaac
Maaaaaac
My Mac is Black
My Mac is Black!
A few posters have argued just as I’ve argued for the last two years. There’s a Mac model missing between the Mini and the Pro for those of us who want a *headless*, *expandable*, small form factor desktop. Just look at a Shuttle to see what I want to see, but given Apple’s preference for slot-loading optical drives, it could be even smaller, yet have all the potential we seek.
So, yes, a new iMac – maybe with speakers on the left and right rather than below – would be nice. But some of us still want that small, expandable, headless Mac.
“Between you & TMF!!!
Keep it up.”
I’m not that way, man.
(Not that there’s anything WRONG with it)
Chrissy
who woulda thunk you were into AC/DC?
(sorry for the pun)
Yeah, straight up for me too. Narrow and laced are negotiable.
And nice lyrics, C1 and TT.
LoopRumors is the most unreliable piece of crap on the internet and all they are doing is taking information from reliable sites like Apple insider and republishing it claiming it is theirs. Shame on MacDailyNews for continuing to publish this rubbish.
soon to be x-reader
;P I’m just fulla’ surprises.
Like a pinata?….
Hit me which a stick and see what happens. >.<
MW: ‘hospital’
LOOPRUMORS? Please this website is like the national inquirer of Mac sites. they just steal other peoples news and screw it up
She’s sleeker, faster, and darker. Oh, mama, it’s time to get our freak on!
“Hit me which a stick and see what happens.”
First, I will have to tie you up and then put a blindfold on….
Thanks, TMF.
I credit my grandson for the inspiration.
I’m waiting for the iMac with 12″ to 64″ inch adjustable holographic touch sensitive display I just saw advertised last night on TV. Oh, wait a minute, I’m sorry, I guess I was watching Minority Report.
Geeze, and for a while there I thought that was from Los Bravos.

@TowerTone
You ain’t gonna believe this but Fiona Apple is on my BigMac (that is what I call my 20″ white one).
Geez it must be friday…???
I feel slightly stupider now that I clicked through the LoopRumors link and read that 1 paragraph of drivel.
This is poor reporting by MacDailyNews. It should either not be listed here or the title should be:
“WILD SPECULATED BASED OFF EARLIER RELIABLE REPORTS: Wannabe rumor site guesses iMacs may come at big Apple Mac event”
Crapola,
Indeed, brotha. The looprumors blurb looks like a rip of this:
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/03/20/apples_next_generation_imacs_to_add_a_touch_of_grace.html
with some stupidity and wild rants thrown in for disguise.

Chrissy, you stole my heart you rockin’ woman.
Try something with:
Dirty Dells and they’re sold dirt cheap
