Earlier in the year, given the initial launch schedule for the Ivy Bridge processor the Intel powerplant highly likely to power the new iMac it was widely hoped that wed be seeing the new iMac drop sometime around mid-to-late April.
Unfortunately this wasnt the case, and many speculated this could be due to delays on Intels end with availability of the new chipset. While further investigation revealed that it was the dual-core version of the new chip that would likely be unavailable until June (CPUs more likely to be featured in the new revisions of the 13-inch Macbook Pro) and the Quad-Cores that would form the brain of the new iMac were in fact released upon the world in late April, this still didnt see the iMac 2012 release date occurring in late April/early May as hoped. Two reports have surfaced that point strongly to a June/July 2012 release date for the hotly anticipated Apple desktop system.
The first was a story covered by Digitimes, who in turn pointed to a story in Taiwans Economic Daily, who reported on chassis manufacturer Foxconn technologys expectation for huge growth due to their role supplying case hardware for the new iMac, which the company stated was set for release in June. The second report, again dug up by Digitimes, relays quotes from industry sources stating that G-Tech, allegedly the manufacturer of the glass facade to clothe the new iMac (which is hotly rumoured to be an anti-reflective panel), has been informed of a late second quarter iMac 2012 release date. With April now behind us and these two reports corroborating nicely, it paints a pretty clear picture of a late June or early July release date for the iMac 2012.

Not any more!
May 16, 2012 With rumors strongly suggesting Siri will be adding her voice control and digital personal assistant talents to the new iMac that will hopefully gracing your desktops come June 2012, you may be interested to know some of her responses are revealing her not to be the company-woman Apple thought she was. It seems that up until last week, when asked What is the best smartphone ever? Siri would go turncoat and reply in no uncertain terms that the Nokia Lumia 900 was the clear frontrunner. It seems Siri was pulling the answer to this question from Wolphram Alpha, who maintains an average of smartphone reviews that it in turn pulls from Best Buy customer reviews.
And those Best Buy customers clearly dont think much of the iPhone 4S, who is averaged around the 14th position mark for the hotly contended Best Smartphone prize. Apple has now patched this bug, and Siri will now give you the very Applesque answer of Wait there are other smartphones?. Apple has yet to publicly confirm theyve tinkered with Siris response data, but this hasnt stopped Nokia for blasting them over changing the answers to suit their own agenda.
