When apple says "available in november"

[Pantoot]

Any idea what that means?
I want to buy a couple of 21" imacs for christmas, but when I go to the buy page there isn't a buy button, just "Available in November".

Does that mean its an in store only thing?

They just did a model change and the new one (in the 21.5 size) is to be available tomorrow (Nov 30). I believe retailers will have it then as well. http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/11/27iMac-Available-on-November-30.html

Thanks, I could have sworn they did a model change over a month ago, but that makes sense.

They announced the new iMacs towards the end of October. At that time they said the 21.5" would be available in November and the 27" in December although I don't believe the mentioned specific dates.

There were rumors that they were having trouble with a new manufacturing process used to assemble the machines and it was causing delays but they seemed to have made it just under the wire.

New imacs looks nice. I'm tempted to buy one

I'm not interested in the new iMacs, but I'm rather disappointed with Apple in regard to their latest releases. I bitched and moaned quite a bit over the LTE-equipped iPad, and this is only slightly better as Apple actually announced this one, but with very little lead time. I would prefer if Apple gave at least a one week notification.

It just seems so unprofessional and disorganized, which are two adjectives that you don't really pair with Apple.

Was last year's model 2011 iMac available day one after announcement?
