Apple Delays iMac Orders in Advance of New Model?

Apple is reportedly delaying orders for its iMac computer in advance of an anticipated update next week, according to 9to5Mac.

Yesterday, our source Mr. X told us to expect new iMacs the week of May 2nd as Apple will officially stop shipping iMacs to resellers this week (week of April 25th).

The site received corroboration of this from a reader who says Apple delayed his order for an iMac from the Apple online education store.
