You sound desperate to be sold something you don't currently know you want or need. Desperate indeed.
The company is also rumored to be working on additional projects such as the iWatch, and according to Tim Cook, Apple's catalyst will always be "new products and new services" in both current product categories and "in new categories."
Always is the case with technology. No one knew we 'needed' an iPad. I remember the jokes vividly. Now people can't live without their tablets.
More powerful GPU's. SSD standard, or at least with pairings to a 7200RPM drive.
iWatch may not be a watch, it could be the name of the TV since iTV is already taken. why would apple sell watches? seems silly and low priced compared to selling a big ticket item like a TV.
hoping for a newly-designed iphone, it's enough of the current design.
680MX is a pretty powerful GPU.
SSD? just stump up the cash if you want it - why should it be standard? This way Apple keep the costs down for Joe Public who doesn't care. And Fusion drive is great (speaking from experience) and uses a 7200 drive. Only the 21.5 has 5400 drive - unless you buy Fusion.
I'm not seeing any substance to your problems with the current iMac.
Do you suggest they make a rectangular phone?
Oh, so you're saying I should by a 27" with a 680MX? I see.![]()
It's going to be an expensive fall![]()
Yes but those are all old products, no one really expects regular updates. But the Retina MBP is definitely a flagship product, and it would make sense for Apple to update it as often as they did until now. But then they haven't updates the iPad Mini in a long time either, even though its a well-selling iPad, so who knows
I'm only curious because I'm planning on buying a rMBP soonwho knows, the price may be lower, the low-end model may be better, the image retention problem may be fixed And if the CPU is faster or the battery life is better, I'm waiting for the update.
But if the rMBP already appeared in benchmarks, it means the product is complete, so why wait three more months before releasing it? Sure production has to ramp up but they're already producing the current generation models fast enough, it's not like they have brand new technology to iron out.
I would jump on a 4.5"-4.7" iPhone and a retina display iPad mini, add iOS7 official release and a jailbreak and we good to go...![]()
no - I didn't say that
you're original post was "As long as the fall includes properly built iMacs."
I questioned this assertion, and you came back with a list of things that already included in the current lineup.
It may be that the 27" with 680MX would fit your needs. You said iMacs needed more powerful GPUs - I only pointed out that they come with one.
I don't know what your specific needs are - other than complaining that the current iMacs aren't good enough.
Predicting the rMBP refresh has its own set of problems. Firstly, October 2012 wasn't a refresh - it was just the release of the 13-inch model. So effectively, there has only been the initial release, and the spec bump in February. You are working from a sample size of 1 - the distance between these two events, which varies depending on whether we are talking about the 13-inch or the 15-inch.
There will probably be an update in the next six months, but we can't predict any more accurately than that. I think you are right to wait, since the rMBP at the moment is effectively first-generation technology, spec bumps or no.
But why the delay in the first place if they're already benchmarking it? Simple. The rMBP that tested on Geekbench was a prototype, probably handmade with love in a lab in Cupertino. Even if it represents a mostly finished design. It still requires testing, approval from the FCC, money to change hands, and then scaling up production. All of these take time, before they can start rolling out of the Foxconn factories in their thousands.
