...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.
Apple must know mobile Broadwell chips will be coming out in the Fall or they may as well put the 800M series in the MBP's as well.
Mobile components should roll out long before the desktop and unlocked desktop parts. Skylake desktop comes alongside Broadwell in mid-2015.

All I wanted was an 850M... Not even Broadwell just an 850M.
Never mind, Broadwell must be the slowest chip launch in Intel's history, it's like they are deliberately slowing developing :roll eyes:.
This doesn't even make me feel that bad after buying the current model 2 weeks ago...
Probably still would have waited if I knew that they were coming soon, but who knows how long it'll take for these to come out.
The mobile Broadwell chips has been postponed to mid 2015, it's not coming out this year, period.
The big question is: will it launch before or after the Back to School campaign ends?

You do realize your own link confirms the mobile chips that Apple uses will be out in Feb, 2015?
Core M is for the tablets, the U-series is what Apple uses in their mobile lineup and that link says Feb, 2015.
Please give me a quad core 13"
Too small.
Apple should have had a 20" laptop workstation by now.
How many chips fit on the logic board? I would not expect that until DDR4 hits the mainstream platform. If you want 32 GB on other notebooks you are looking at 4 SO-DIMMs.
Apple TV is such meh product - a lump of stuff that adds clutter to the living room for little upside.
I am sure the 13" will follow a similar pattern and likely be released alongside the 15".
Glad I picked up the Haswell 13" last Christmas. The model is definitely holding its longevity.
As for the price drop, that already occurred last year with the Ivy Bridge Spec Bump and Price Drop (and with the Iris Pro only version on the 15"). Don't expect another price drop for a while.
Although, with these machines being released, the current models in the refurb store and other outlets should drop which will be a great deal.
The Broadwell models will be a nice bump, but I will not upgrade until Skylake at the earliest (hopefully finally getting a quad-core in the 13" model). The Broadwell Macbook Air however does intrigue me however.
sorry bro17-Inch please....

This doesn't make much sense. I'd expect the minor refresh this year to include nVidia 800 series chips. That's the only significant upgrade they could really make until Intel ships Broadwell.
17-Inch please....
16 GB across the board is a nice bump. That would really impact the value of the older models too.
One could only hope. It is interesting that they are focusing on a RAM upgrade here to provide real value with this bump. The enhanced Intel processors are hardly worth the time.

Oh it has? I knew desktop Broadwell was mid-2015, but thought mobile was still on track for fall.
So yeah, why isn't Apple putting in the 800M series then? Seriously going to let the 750M soldier on for two years? Unlike the 870M/880M, the 850M/860M are Maxwells which give a decent boost in performance.
According to this, they're supposed to ship this holiday season:

Quoted from the original article:
In detail, this paper indicated that the processors that power the MacBook Air (15 W series U) will arrive in the fourth quarter. Processors in the MacBook Pro Retina 13 " (W 28 series U) and those MBPr 15 "(H series) would not be available until early next year, meanwhile.
Still, they could have easily slipped into 2015.
16GiB DDR3 SO-DIMMs just became available, but they are compatible with almost nothing unless you're lucky to get a firmare update for it.
I've been thinking the same thing, but I fear that it's more likely they won't.
LOL. Apple, despite Jobs death, is still a company that believes in FOCUS. Wasting engineering resources on a mouse when almost all of Apple's products are portables and there are TONS of 3rd party mice out there is just dumb. Ditto for displays. Apple will focus on the things that only Apple can do (note how 'only Apple' is Tim's favorite phrase).Tragic Mouse needs a redesign. Using it is unpleasant - not as bad as the hockey puck mouse but pretty darn close. The lid that is supposed to keep the battery covered is terrible.
The iPod lines - at least they could update the Nano user interface to match everything else. And the packaging.
For the past 5+ years, only a fool with way too much money and little sense would have bought a Thunderbolt display. It's such a bad value proposition!
