Resellers Getting Signals for a Wide Range of Apple Updates?

While rumors have focused on iPod Nano and iPod Touch updates as early as September 9th, the fate of the MacBook Pros and other updates have been less clear.

It appears, however, that Apple could be prepping for a wide range of product updates, with signals to at least some resellers to halt resupplies of Mac minis, MacBook Pros, iPods and even Cinema Displays.

Unfortunately, reseller signals can be misleading and could simply represent temporary supply shortages. Best Buy, for example, had shortages of MacBooks towards the end of July.

Our buyer's guide does show that many of Apple's products are due for revision.

Go to bed Arn. ;)

Seriously, though, this is looking great. The resellers do seem to run out of Apple products near new releases.

It's 4AM for him in the east coast (1 AM here). He's got to be falling asleep at the keyboard. :p

EDIT: Make that east coast, not west coast. Maybe I need to go to bed as well. :p

I can't say how I know, I can't say who I know (so don't ask) but what I can say is that there is going to be a TON of updates whenever this is announced. Like, people needing to be sent to Apple HQ for this stuff kind of thing. That is all.

Yeah, it has been a long time since so many products were due for an update all at once. Just look at the buyer's guide. Almost every product is due for a revision soon.

Finally! the macbook design hasn't changed since I got mine in May 2006.
The plastic gets dirty, and I have had the casing replaced because the wrist rest cracks at the edges. I would like to see aluminum and black keys a la MacBook Air

New Cinema Displays, nice. Well that would be in line with the Blu-Ray rumors (stupid HDCP).

I don't think that the laptops need any redesign. Not that I own one but still, why change for the sake of it?

A good GPU for the MacBooks would be much needed IMO.

I, along with others (who are possibly deluded as well), think that Apple has a high-end image manipulation app in the skunkworks. Maybe they'll never use it. But if they have one (and I'm dead certain they do) they may launch it as a supplementary tool to Aperture.

Maybe there will be hardware accelerated H.264 compression, too.

Mac Mini is in short supply?!?! Holy cow! This is it! We're gonna find out if the mini gets the axe or is upgraded to a not laughably behind the times product!

I'm just curious: do you have any evidence that Apple is developping a high-end image manipulation app, or are you the kind of person who is "dead-certain" about things based on hunches and conjecture? If so, I hope you are never on the jury if I am accused of a crime. :D

Edit: Not that it's a terribly bad thing; everyone is deluded in one way or another and this seems like one of the less harmful opinions to hold.

Oh yeah? :p Take a look at my prediction for Mac on Intel:

You'll have to find the posts with my name on them.

Check... and mate. ;) Everybody is a prophet at least once in their lives.

True, but this is no prophecy kind sir. That one I mentioned was "me thinking like SJ". Since then I have moved on to better things. Like THIS ONE is me "knowing". Thinking and knowing are two very different things ;););););) (Do I need to wink anymore to get my point across? My eye is getting tired :p)

No. But if I were running Apple I'd make damned f****** sure there was one. I wouldn't want to subject myself to the whims of Adobe. I am dead certain purely in the subjective sense. And I have served on a jury once. Very interesting. :)
