GPU replacement program announced for 2011 iMacs, Apple to offer refunds for previous service

Remember the 2011 iMac's HDD replacement program? It seems like the machine thought it was time for an encore. Apple recently announced that 27-inch iMacs sold between May 2011 and October 2012 may be eligible for a free repair, citing faulty AMD Radeon HD 6970M GPUs (you can find the official statement after the break).

According to 9to5Mac, Apple is also issuing refunds to customers who paid to have the GPU fixed before the program was announced.
