I can tell you this.

There is a new phone.

There might be a program similar to other phones for AT&T whereas the customer activates with AT&T and they get back $100-$300 dollars, which might mean more carriers.

There is a FINAL CUT PRO that is more iMOVIE like yet as deep as FCP.

There will be refresh MBP.

There will be new displays with iSight.

and a few other things....

Phone in less than 2 months.

Possible 4 core laptop, and later in year (Nov) possible 16 core Mac Pros.

Also, most stores are starting to add 1-2 hour PRO classes for LOGIC and FCP. As well, they are taking EDUCATION employee's and placing them in business development.
:apple:

Still, I would like to see GPU dedicated in mini and macbook.

Oooh - we're all Apple consultants! :rolleyes:

My pet border collie could come up with better information. (She's well informed, and enjoys macrumors.com. She can't wait for multi-touch for dogs, as she has problems typing).
Edit:
She wanted to make it clear her top tips, and to ask for some information from these "insiders" that we don't already know:
She's under an NDA with Apple, but she's remaining anonymous, so that's ok.
- There might be a new iPhone. It might even have 3G :O And it's coming by end of July
- There might be subsidies, there might be more carriers
- FCP is getting a change (iMovie was crap, and Apple's redressing this)
- MBP will get refreshed some time
- There will be new ACDs and they'll have an updated iSight

But she can go much more into detail if you like. She's hopeful for the OctoMBP, and 3D perception via webcams integrated into the laptops/ACDs.

Well if you were going to spill information you're not supposed to, you're hardly going to do it with an account with loads of previous posts and logged IP addresses and who know what other potentially-linkable-to-you information, are you?

If you are an Apple consultant I hope you get treated just like Jose Lopez...

"Last week, Sacramento district attorney Jan Scully filed a criminal complaint against Lopez for stealing Apple's trade secrets and issued a warrant for his arrest."

So what you're saying is you can read the rumors posted on the news page daily and then sum it all up under the disguise of a "consultant?" Net's full of experts.

If you are an Apple consultant, you just pretty much violated everything you agreed to when you signed on to work with them. When you work for (direct or as consultant) Apple, aren't you agreeing not to even have a presence on Apple product related websites unless specifically authorized by Apple? I know a friend of mine that went to develop for them had to sign something like that and they said it was standard.

Fake or not, don't judge him based on grammar. I know for a fact that there are loads of geniuses who can't spell properly, so I don't think his poor language makes him a fake.

How about in a previous post he claimed:
Is coveted info really that dire? Okay, know someone who saw the new FCP.
It's as easy as iMovie but as deep as FCP. So he says.

I'm not an Apple Consultant.

dude, if you really are an apple consultant, and have access to all this information, is it really sensible to break your confidentiality agreement with apple just so you can contribute to a rumor site.

just not worth it :rolleyes:

When I was in the U.S. Marine Corps, I swore that I wouldn't share classified information upon discharge or resignation. I would hope that someone claiming to be "an Apple Consultant," would have the same "integrity," and if we don't have integrity, then who are we? :(
