.
MacRumors points to a WeiPhone.com forum thread [Google translation] this morning which purports to show details of a new iMac. The poster’s brother-in-law apparently works in the factory that builds the new Macs and snapped the above picture on his cell phone. The design was verified by iFixit to be similar to the internals of a current iMac with the plastic radio-transparent circle on the rear.
On the iMac, the poster says:
  • It should be announced this month or next month (likely at the Oct. 23th announement)
  • The design is of”epoch-making significance”
  • From side to side you “almost cannot see the new iMac’s thickness” and it is compared to a drop of water and “tetragonal” elements. Still has iMac ‘chin’ below display
  • It appears that the display is a “very pretty special glass glued directly” (perhaps like Retina MBP) to the machine rather than a separate display assembly
  • The 21-inch might be ready before the 27-inch
The more expensive iMac and redesigned screen might hint at Retina but strangely, the poster doesn’t mention anything related to this.
The 13″ Retina MacBook Pro:
  • Codenamed D1 (Which fits with Product D2 for the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro)
  • Is seeing delays due to thermal issues
Interestingly, the poster mentions that the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro will see a silent update will see screen blur and cooling improvements and be produced also in Mexico.
In another post the poster talks about trouble with the glue and Foxconn
