Apple to Launch Updated iMac in October?

Apple's supply chain is set to begin production of an updated iMac in July ahead of an October launch, according to a DigiTimes report.

The sources also noted that Apple plans to expand Retina Display into all the product lines, meaning that the new iMac will have a high chance of featuring Retina Display; however, the rumors are not confirmed by Apple.

The site's sources say Apple is planning to release a redesigned iMac and Mac Pro in 2013.
