"Part of that is that we're beginning shipping the 21.5-inch iMac in November and the 27-inch in December, so there will be a short amount of time during the quarter to manufacture and ramp those, and I expect the demand to be robust. So we will have a significant shortage there."
The cause for the possible delay was said to be the complicated and intensive process used to create each ultra-thin iMac screen. By laminating the display directly to the glass, Apple was able to remove all air gaps from the computer, making the entire display system 45 percent thinner.
