Not always. Apple has put in refresh chips in before and then put in the next gens during their usual time.
Well this is Apple...If this is true I'm disappointed they haven't upgraded the 750m to the 850m. It has been 278 days since the last update and other manufacturers have been shipping 8xx series GPU's on their notebooks for months.
I have not expected the latest GPUs for nearly a decade now.

I understand why Apple doesn't like dGPUs on laptops: They cause problems, they take a lot of space, they are perhaps the main cause of failure from a hardware POV and you just can't trust Nvidia and AMD.
However, this is Apple. This is the company that is putting the mobile processor industry on fire and "buying" engineers from everybody related with SoC left and right. This is the company that cofounded ARM, and the company that puts 35 million A7 asskickingdespite1yearold processors on their devices, each quarter.
If Apple isn't ready to take the same aggressive approach to the Mac line yet (not our fault), at least have the decency to put uptodate graphics card on their computers (8xx).
While you are at it, put a decent screen on your flagship computer, the computer that is seen as the best overall by everybody: MBAir. It's shameful bean counting.
Having said that, despite their flaws, there's not a single manufacturer with such great PCs. Mainly because they sell a product, not hardware parts put together. No one else sells products, besides MS and the failure that is the SP3.

The display and the lack of a HDMI port are why I skipped the Air for the Macbook Pro.
I'm more bothered by the ever growing list of Apple products that look increasingly semi-abandoned.
Zombie Product List - Thunderbolt Display, Mac Mini, Tragic Mouse, iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle, iPod Classic
Rubbish Product List - any Apple power supply, any Apple cables, Tragic Mouse, Apple TV, Zombie Product List sans Mac Mini, iTunes

...what kind of update is the magic mouse supposed to get? A better processor?
The iPod lines sales numbers are a clear reason why unless there is a significant paradigm shift, there is nothing that warrants upgrading the line.
As for the rest, these are products that will likely be updated by the holiday season.
Mobile components should roll out long before the desktop and unlocked desktop parts. Skylake desktop comes alongside Broadwell in mid-2015.

Screw the ram upgrade. It's the cheapest and lamest piece of hardware they can throw in and call that an upgrade from the precious model. It's adds little to no value to the laptop.
Bump the processor, a larger SSD and new discrete graphics.
750m...what a joke.

Good ol' MacRumors. Always searching other Mac sites for "news".
Then again I should probably just be happy that MacRumors has actual Mac news on its front page. It's nice to see iToys news slip below the fold occasionally.

I don't read any other "mac sites" so it's a good thing..
Also, I was reading this on a thread from yesterday. Perhaps they got it from there..

Most people don't browse the web?
All those features they are throwing into HTML5 web sites eats up more and more memory.
I will argue that photoshop isn't that hard to use with little training and that these are fake.
The new MBP will likely come with the 860m as previous rumors have stated.
