Summary

As we reported earlier today, Apple’s online store went down for updates earlier today, amidst rumors of new products and product updates. Now that the store is back online, the new products up up for display.

So what’s new? Well, as usual, intricate accuracy of the rumors proved to be true: new iMacs with slight redesigns and brighter, larger displays, updated Mac minis (including a Mac OS X server option), a newly designed MacBook and a new multi-touch mouse (which was rumored early in the month) that will finally free Mac users from the Mighty Mouse’s impossible-to-keep-clean clutches.

New iMacs

The new iMacs feature larger, 16:9 displays (previous displays were 16:10) in either 21.5″ or 27″ in size. The new displays are brighter and use high-end IPS panels and LED backlighting.

The new iMacs also feature faster processors (including the ability to use the Intel Core i5 or i7 in built-to-order models shipping in November), more RAM and better connectivity options.

The 21.5″ iMac starts at $1199 US.
