If nothing good ever came out of the Paris Expo, than expect it to just be the international iPhone announcement. But let's just hope they blow us away this year with a MacPro that day.

I think it will be a silent update, coming in the next month or so.

My crystal iBall says...

Paris will be iPhone UK & maybe TV shows in iTMS and :apple:TV.

iPods & Mac Pro's at that rumored event on 9/5.

I really want an MBP refresh with the 2.6 processor and larger drives, but I'm dreaming on this one.

And while Europe will get dates for the iPhone, and movies and TV in iTMS (at least for the UK), then the rest of y'all will get HD at iTMS just in time for the 2007/2008 tv season.

Oh, and by the way, on September 5th, iTMS will get...
BEATLES and the Apple store will start stocking a Yellow Submarine iPod in addition to all the other nifty iPods to be released that day.

You would think Apple would release a new MacPro in September. I would be all over it... Then it would force me and everyone else to buy Leopard in October, thus Apple making two sales.

Paris is iPhone ONLY just as MWSF was iPhone ONLY. Apple doesn't want to muddle the message. They want the headline, the page 2 story, the page 3 story to be iPhone, iPhone, iPhone, just like it was at the US launch.

Apple can't release a new MP until Intel ships its new Penryn chips. No chips, no MP. Maybe late Oct, more likely November or Jan.

Remind me again while you're all so positive Paris will have new launches? Is it recent past history, or maybe Apple's recent form for unveiling new stuff at events other than their own, special ones...?

Remember we have already seen Apple getting access to unannounced processors ahead of schedule from Intel (3.0Ghz Clovertown a full quarter ahead of official release and the Merom based X7900 2.80Ghz processor used in the current iMac).

If anything, I am sure Apple could get access to Wolfdale and Harpertown (both 45nm Penryn processors) next month for a new Mac Pro release.

The Mac Pro really needs an update, it's taken way too long for it.

Anyways, I'm happy with mine.

I just feel sorry for all those who have waited. :(

Maybe I´ve gone insane after soooooo many months of Mac Pro update obsession, but I´m convinced Apple Inc. will present Leopard on new updated Mac Pro in October and start shipping them late Oct-early Nov.

If I see nothing by December I will create an "I hate Jobs and Gates blog".

No professionals usually can't just jump into a new OS in the middle of projects and using apps that are not written for 10.5. I think the new Mac Pro will come out before Leopard with a free upgrade. So people have a choice..that has happened before. Then they can still showcase Leopard on the new Mac Pro.

I love my Mac Pro. I think it's perfect in every way. To think... I almost waited!! I thought they'd give us an update at MWSF 2007!! :(:o:confused:

I'm SO glad I bought one in September 2006. Now i've had the latest and greatest, for a whole year! And not a single problem! My family also bought 3 iMac Core Duo's in April 2006, and NO problems! I just LOVE Macs!!!

Meh......

I doubt we'll see anything Mac Pro related on September 5th. I doubt we'll see anything Mac Pro related for a while. Since they decided to "update" it with a $999 RAID card I'm sure someone at Apple thinks that's sufficient. :mad:

That's good to hear... I've been holding off for a bit on buying a new Mac Pro, but I'm now in need of the new machine. My aging, albeit VERY reliable, mirrored door g4 has served it's purpose and been a real trooper.

I was getting ready to order a new box this morning when I read about the Sept 5 announcement... I thought about waiting a few more days, but if it looks like no new Pro's are likely, I'll order a 4core today.

I know something will be coming this year: new enclosure or new chipset or faster speeds, but I guess it all comes down what is available at the time you need it.

Great forums. Long time visitor, first time posting.

Oh come on, join the waiting list for the new MacPro. You know you want to. :D Why pay for something that will double its speed in a 1-2 months? (Hopefully.) By the way people are predicting, I can see a new one coming in October or November. I probably got the same machine as you right now. Try to hold off. But if you can't, ah well. :p

The current machines are still very good and will blow away my current Mac by a ton.

Right, it will blow away the current machine. See, I've been waiting since June this year to get one, people thought August was the month. Wrong. So I've been waiting longer. I really think one will come with Leopard. The only reason why I am holding off is that at work here, we have the MacPro 2x2.66 Dual Core 5 gigs memory, I'm use to that machine and want it to be faster. It would cut time in half for me. That and I want a faster computer than the company's. lol

You should just try to hold off til the end of September. And if nothing arrives. Hold off til middle October, still nothing? Wait til the end of October. Nothing then? Wait til November. See 2 months went by real quick. lol I could see some rumors or confirmations coming up by the end of September, beginning of October for a new MacPro.

At least wait 1 week after September 5th, then Apple moves on to there next thing. Maybe some rumors will brew. Cause I get pissed when I buy a new machine and a 2 weeks later something more retarded comes out.

Yea, that's what I would think too. But what if a new MP update doesn't come til January? Would Apple do that to us?
