Oh boy this should be good

Eidorian · Mar 1, 2009, 08:51 PM

Waiting additional confirmation...

Tallest Skil · Mar 1, 2009, 08:51 PM

THERE'S A QUESTION MARK. THIS IS NOT PROOF.

Yes, I can get more accurate. When Apple actually releases info, THAT is when it will be accurate.

No, no. I'll believe it when there's a Buy Now button and it finally arrives at my domicile.

Why would Apple hold the event the month BEFORE they release the desktops? They would release them that day if not the next.

roski11 · Mar 1, 2009, 09:21 PM

March sounds good.

agreed, this isn't a predetermined date like Macworld & WWDC. The only time they announce products before releasing them is when their forced to. (Hence why no more MacWorld, and good riddance).

I hear ya, but ......... seriously dude....... buzzkill!!

NorrisKillsKids · Mar 2, 2009, 02:13 AM

So when do invitations usually go out for these things. 1 or 2 weeks before the event......more? Tomorrow I better wake up with awesome news confirming this.

Moriarty · Mar 2, 2009, 02:32 AM

Well it's bound to be a biggie whenever the next event is.

iMacs. Mac Mini. Mac Pro. Cinema Displays. All well overdue for updates!

MacRumors · Mar 2, 2009, 06:10 AM

The big story circulating around the internet this weekend was the possibility of a March 24th Apple Media event. The date was based on a couple of anonymous reports from World of Apple and My Apple Guide. While the date seems plausible, neither site has any particular track record for accurately predicting Apple's future plans.

Still, it adds to the growing number of hints and suggestions that new product releases are imminent. In contrast, however, Japanese site Kodawarisan pinpoints March 3rd (this Tuesday) as the release date for the new iMac.

While it's hard to place much credibility in one report over the other, Apple is long overdue in refreshing a number of their products, including the iMac, Mac mini and Mac Pro. It is feasible that Apple could partially stagger these product releases over the next few weeks.

Of the releases, the iMac and Mac mini are expected to be smaller bumps that may not warrant a full media event. The Mac Pro, however, is expected to incorporate a major architectual jump with the adoption of Intel's Nehalem processors. Intel is also conveniently launching Mac Pro suitable Nehalem processors at the end of March. And in a final piece of related news, the latest Mac OS X 10.5.7 developer seeds has been revealed to already "fully" support the Nehalem processors.

I'm so sick of waiting for a new mac mini. I don't think i even care anymore.

Mac Pro updates are always interesting though.

donga · Mar 2, 2009, 06:20 AM

haha, new mac mini. i'll believe it when i see it...

talkingfuture · Mar 2, 2009, 06:25 AM

Sounds like a plausible time frame, we'll just have to wait and see.

toodiverse4u · **3/3/09**

I know this sounds dumb but 3 x 3 = 9. Maybe tomorrow

Rocketman · Mar 2, 2009, 09:55 AM

I would like to see a thread about set-ups of Mac Mini's assuming the new port selection rumors are accurate. Set up of a media server, car accessory, etc.

The iMac and MacPro are both more straightforward.

carolhayes · Mar 2, 2009, 10:59 AM

Fed ex came with my new mac pro today. The one I have been saving for as a poor educator for 6 months. After seeing this post... I am right now on the phone with apple asking to return it. I knew upgrades were coming but I bet on may/june. I can't wait past April. Ok they will return it. It was a custom build. When I gave the reason for return new product is coming, they asked a manager and approved it. This is cruel if I did not need it so badly it would not be a big deal. Keep it or return it hmmm.

flubber · Mar 2, 2009, 12:09 PM

See www.onemorething.nl for a picture of the new Mac Mini, probably announced tomorrow!

iOrlando · Mar 2, 2009, 12:35 PM

Presentation will be led by Schiller, with Ivy and Mansfield as sidekicks. and 1-2 additional people in a video.

oTaRu · Mar 2, 2009, 01:18 PM

i pray for it's arrival...

mrfaize · Mar 7, 2009, 04:40 AM

So following this week's product updates I assume the 24th March event won't happen??

Or will there be "... and one more thing" ?

oldaaplexec · Mar 2, 2009, 12:54 PM

The next iPhone will be out before June. Look for an iPhone event in late April. Apple won't hold an event in June, since people are expecting Steve to be back. He won't be.

techfreak85 · Mar 2, 2009, 12:54 PM

9to5 believes 24th.

I really want a new Display, and apple's are really nice, but they are so darn expensive...
