5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
That report was quickly followed by one about new white plastic MacBooks, possibly at a lower price point than the current US$999 they start at. Now the site reports that Apple retail outlets have been informed that orders for certain desktop models would not be filled -- specifically, none of the iMacs nor the low-end Mac mini. The Mac mini now comes in two configurations, both with the same chip and graphics but one with half the memory and about a third the disk space as its sibling. The line was last refreshed last May. AppleInsider had also previously speculated that a new iMac line might see the same kind of price reductions that the MacBooks did in June, pointing out that the 20-inch model's price in the education market was $300 less than its list price. At the time, it was noted that such a reduction wouldn't leave much room between the 20-inch iMac and the higher-end mini, which now lists for $799. Elimination of the lower-end mini and a price reduction in the more capable model would maintain the price differential between the all-in-one iMac line and the lower-powered, monitorless minis. |
