iMac Unavailable Online

In correlation to Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer’s iMac G5 announcement, an Apple Weblog reader pointed out that Apple has taken down the option to purchase the 15”, 17” or 20” iMac models from their online store. Instead of the option to purchase, online visitors will be met with the following surprisingly humble explanation:

Apple has stopped taking orders for the current iMac as we begin the transition from the current iMac line to an all-new iMac line which will be announced and availble in September.

We planned to have our next generation iMac ready by the time the inventory of current iMacs runs out in the next few weeks, but our planning was obviously less than perfect.

We apologize for any inconvenience to our customers.

*Note: the notification was posted at the beginning of this month, up for more than two weeks.
