Aha! Tangerine revisited. (and an iMac retail BLS)
macweek.zdnet.com
In an article from Macweek, MacMall states the sales results from the first two days of the technicolor iMacs:
---
MacMall, a national catalog and online retailer, has the new iMacs in stock, and a spokesman said they are selling well. "In the first two days after the new models
were announced on Jan. 5 we sold 23 Blueberry, 14 Grape, 11 Lime, four Strawberry and two Tangerine iMacs. . ."
---
Macintouch noted a couple days ago that retailers will be required to order these iMacs in sets of five--one of each color. Soup, or others, can you confirm this?
If this is true, then how will retailers deal with this? It takes the inventory monkey off Apple's back, but is it at the detriment of the retailers?
Another note about MacMall sales: I tracked the inventory numbers on all the individual Yosemite models, and over the past 2 days, they've sold:
40 G3 300's
24 G3 350's
13 G3 400's
You can compare these numbers to the sell-through rates of the new iMacs to get a proper comparison. 77 Yosemites, 54 iMacs. Interesting.
