Apple updates 27-inch iMac firmware to address flickering issues
Rumors abound that Apple has halted its production of 27-inch iMacs until they can finally get to the bottom of the yellowing, flickering display issues, but if you’ve already got a gorgeous 27-incher, Apple has just released a second firmware update which will hopefully get to the bottom of any issues you’re having.
The update notes are, as usual, sparse:
Updates the display firmware on 27-inch iMac systems to address issues that may cause intermittent display flickering.
This is following on the heels of a late December update that changed the graphics firmware on the iMac’s ATI Radeon HD 4670 and 4850 GPU, which didn’t seem to do much to solve the widely-reported display issues plaguing Apple’s most gorgeous desktop to date.

Hopefully this one will do better: the update is only 294KB and can be downloaded now through Apple Support.
