New 27-Inch iMac Not Available Until December

Apple announced their new ultra-thin iMacs today, in both 21.5-inch and 27-inch sizes – but interestingly, while the smaller version of the iMac will be available starting in November, the 27-inch iMac won’t ship until December, according to the Apple Online Store.

The reason for the delays is unclear, but I suspect it’s likely related to supply issues with the 27-inch panels. That seems to be the most logical explanation to account for the difference in shipping times.
