as was known when these new thin models launched, always wait for the second iteration. They are significantly better performance wise.

Very "quiet" update. I hope this means, that Apple will have too much other stuff to show off at their October event (expected to be announced soon).

Here's hoping. I've been waiting for a Retina Macbook Pro for about 8 months now.

Somewhat related: Anyone know if they're going updating the displays soon?

I'm about to buy a 27" Thunderbolt display, but I don't wanna drop £900 on a screen only for a better one to be released one month later...

Spec bump updates rarely make waves at Apple. Part of Apple's retail strategy is avoiding the spec rat race, so it doesn't make sense for them to draw too much attention to spec updates.

Depends on what feature you are looking for.

For laptop users, the displays still require you to use a dongle for Magsafe2. I consider this unacceptable.

If you are waiting for a Retina screen, you're screwed. IMO this soft launch indicates no Retina iMac is forthcoming in the near future.
