Apple's 27-inch iMac faces production issues

Apple's 27-inch iMacs seem to be facing a lot of issues. According to Apple's online store, the 27-inch iMac is expected to ship in 3-4 weeks, a long time compared to the 21.5-inch iMacs, which are available to ship in 7-10 business days. According to a report by DigiTimes, this is because LG Display is facing problems in the mass production of the 27-inch iMac. The problem seems to come from full lamination issues when producing the panels. While Apple is able to ship 300,000 to 400,000 units of the 21.5-inch iMac, it is only able to ship 100,000 units a month of the 27-inch iMac.The latest iMacs were launched back in November. At an event in October, Apple unveiled the completely new iMac with a new design, improved display with reduced reflection, third generation Intel quad-core processors, NVIDIA graphics and a new storage option termed as Fusion Drive. Apple has stressed that the new iMac is the most advanced desktop Apple has ever made. Click here for full story
