AppleInsider is reporting that Apple has released a note to it’s retail stores informing them to take no more orders for many of Apple’s desktop computer models. This suggests Apple is allowing supplies to run low in advance of a possible product refresh, specifically all iMac models and low-end Mac Mini models.
For example, Apple Retail on Monday issued an advisory to its stateside brick-and-mortar shops in which it noted that further orders for many of its existing desktop SKUs would go unhonored and that stores should not expect those models to be restocked.
More specifically, the Mac maker made the remarks in respect to all four retail configurations of its all-in-one aluminum iMac line and the low-end $599 Mac mini, which sports half the memory and roughly one-third the storage capacity of its pricier cousin.
Lastly, the report also notes that Amazon.com’s reservoir of iMacs and Mac Minis has dried up. So, Amazon is pointing customers in the direction of their third-party affiliate sellers.
This report is yet another in the ongoing saga of iMac/MacBook update rumors, the thing that sets this one apart however, is the mention of the Mac Mini. All of the other reports have failed to mention the Mac Mini so far.
