iMac 27in screen issues solved? Monday Mar 1st
Apple has announced that it is finally putting the production issues relating to the screens on it's flagship 27in models behind it and resuming service as normal.
Initially users reported that their brand new iMacs were arriving with damaged screens, possibly due to insufficient packaging for these weighty items. In addition users began to report flickering issues with those screens that were undamaged. Two firmware updates were released to correct the problem but by then users had begun reporting yellowing of the screens that were undamaged and not flickering.
Tech blog TechCrunch reported that Apple were aware of the issues which became so bad that production of the 27in model was reportedly suspended, although Apple have repeatedly denied this despite all 27in models becoming abruptly unavailable on the Apple store.
Internet reports of the issues began to include rumours that Apple was actively recalling faulty Macs and even offering customers an additional $200 for their trouble, again denied by Apple.
Finally Apple has come clean, admitting that there were issues, which have no been addressed and that any customers with a faulty iMac should direct their concerns to AppleCare for a replacement.
