AppleInsider is reporting that Apple will unleash updated iMacs on the public this Tuesday, May 3rd.
The refresh is expected to feature Thunderbolt and updated Intel Core i processors (Sandy Bridge).
In the days leading up to major product launches, Apple routinely makes certain requests of its various operating segments to assure the rollout goes as smoothly as possible. This week saw several of those measures put into place, according to those same people, who’ve continually provided accurate information when it comes the Mac maker’s future plans.
In addition, people familiar with the Cupertino-based company’s retail operations confirmed to AppleInsider that a “visual night” is similarly slated for the early morning hours of May 3rd. “So it is highly likely that whatever new product that is going to be refreshed or introduced will be done on [that day],” one of those people said.
Apple last updated iMacs more than 9 months ago and many retailers are reporting low stock and availability – usually a solid indicator of an impending update.
