Taiwanese paper DigiTimes put out a report (read: rumor) on this year’s iPod line (supposedly due this September), which is said to be primarily flash based (up to 16GB), eschewing hard drives entirely. 80 down to 16GB? One step forward, two steps back — so yeah, we hope so, but not really.
Apple is hosting a Media Event on Tuesday, August 7th, 2007 for a Mac-focused announcement. There have been long running rumors about potential iMac updates. The Apple iMac was last updated 334 days ago in September 2006.
We’ve received word that price points for the new “Good”, “Better”, and “Ultra” iMac models will fall at $1199, $1499, and $1799 price points. No details beyond this are available, and it does not exclude the possibility of other configurations.
Of interest, this differs from the existing iMac lineup which currently holds a range of 17″, 20″ and 24″ models which hit $999, $1199, $1499, and $1999 price points.
Rumors have previously pointed to the elimination of the low end 17″ iMac model, which could correlate with these price points. Other reports have claimed that the new iMacs will see a striking new industrial design.
