The 27-inch version of those shiny new iMacs won’t be shipping to (most) customers until January of 2013, Apple revealed today. The machines have been available for preorder as of November 30, as Apple promised last month, but a definitive shipping date was still up in the air until Friday, when Apple’s online store showed they would begin shipping after the holiday season is over. The 21.5-inch version, however, is already shipping.
\nWhen Apple began taking preorders for the new iMacs, the availability of the 27-inch version was already spotty. Apple originally said the machines would ship 2-3 weeks from the order date, and according to the Apple Store confirmation pages of a couple Ars staffers, their initial preorders of the 27-inch iMac are still expected to ship between December 21 and 28.
\nBut those showing up today to place an order are greeted with a vague “January” projection, making some early buyers anxious that their orders might be pushed back to sometime in January as well. But Apple told us in November that the 27-inch iMac would indeed begin shipping in December, so if you’re one of those who placed an order early on, it seems likely your order will still arrive within the Apple Store’s projected time frame.
\nIn the meantime, you can get your ultrathin Mac fix by reading our just-published review of the 21.5-inch iMac. Apple declined to comment on the 27-inch iMac’s ship date.
