Seems like the entire laptop line up will be updated, if we're lucky even the new Macbook. The iMac will probably get new graphics. As to the other desktops, I don't know. The Mac Pro might get at least an announcement of something to come, cause it's been three years already! As to the mac mini, I don't see them still selling Haswell machines. I guess it will be either updated or EOL'ed.
Got a tip for us?

Please let this be true!
Then we can all switch from complaining about no new Macs to complaining about the new Macs
Waiting for "but fewer ports on pro product waaaaaaaaah"
I process photos too. Compact Flash cards. The SD slot is useless.
I'm really hoping they bring back the quad-core Mac Minis. That was such a sweet little computer.
I have a early 2011 and had mine serviced (the gpu debacle) 2 years ago, but seems to be chugging along fine. I've maxed out the ram and upgraded the HDD to a SD and works like a brand new computer. I use CS6 without hiccup and run 3d modeling programs without fail. I could easily get a few more years out of this thing if the GPU doesn't crap out.
Within the end of the year I bet they'll have a couple more. Apple is such a big influence on the industry, I'd be suprised if Sandisk doesn't already have a few different skus ready to go.
I hope so too, but really the last great thing they did was the magsafe and unibody design. Laptops have hit a plateau, and innovating on a plateau will either be small and incremental, or be brushed off as a gimmick (i'm looking at you OLED bar). I don't see any major changes. I'm not getting my hopes up.
You're missing a key subtlety here. Since 2012, the Macbook Pro updates have been almost nothing - the kind of "non updates" that Apple doesn't even bother to announce. The 2015 RMBP doesn't even outperform the 2014 MB - it just removes the trackpad button, which a lot of people find annoying. Really, very little real world changes over the 2012 rMBP - nothing like we used to see year over year. The main joke is guessing what cool feature each year Apple will remove.
The hope here isn't about a new "design", but a decent upgrade in processors, capacity, and ports. If you actually look around, you'll see that most PC laptops have had or more than a year things that Apple fans have been hoping for for years. That's why so many people on this thread are using computers from 2011 or earlier - cause each year seemed like it'd be the "real upgrade" then wasn't.
So all this excitement is the hope to finally get a REAL update after 4 years. One you'd actually notice using the laptop. We don't actually know this will be the case, but the assumption is if Apple doesn't, they're going to see a huge market share loss.
Agreed. Totally. I was happy enough till the software overran me. I blogged about the experience back in 2011...
"Well the day I was semi dreading did finally come to pass. I got a stack of files from a client for a major project that my copy of Indesign CS3 could not open. Got the little raised middle finger salute from Adobe, instructing me to upgrade my software. Of course almost two PAGES of incompatible plug-in's was a clue....
"Thank you very much, Adobe.
"Now of course that was the $1000 upgrade that pulled the trigger on a new $5000 machine. Of course the upgrade to Adobe CS5.5 doesn't run on Power PC Macs... so the rising tide of tech has closed over my pampered and still perfectly sound Power Mac G5 tower. Of course this was for a 2012 Tax Guide, so have to work on this NOW... not in the Spring, or summer... or when ever Apple updates the Mac Pro next. Need a new machine NOW. Got the stuff on Wednesday evening, and was at the Apple Store Friday Night, and stuck a crowbar into my retirement money."

I expect that my current Mac Pro will get retired for some other similar circumstance.
I'm with everyone who wants to keep the Magsafe connector. It has proven itself to be a keeper.
So out of the box, the new Macbook Pro will be incompatible with the iPhone?? "It just works", huh? No thunderbolt port, either??
I wasn't in the market for a MBP this time around (my late-2013 is still kicking), but I AM in the market for an iMac. If they're going to go all-USB-C on the iMac as well, then it's time to finally start considering Hackintosh. I edit videos and all my external drives are USB-3, my Avid dongle is USB classic, my thumb drive is USB-3, etc etc. Has Apple always been so "eff off, load your desk up with cables and adapters if you want to attach anything to this beeeyoooootifull aloooomineeum work of art" with their Macs?

It seems that I miscalculated...... We have switched to complaining about the new Macs already
Does anyone know if there will be Flash Drives bigger than 1TB ? The drive in my late 2013 ProRetina is almost full. How about more than 16GB memory ? We need at least 64 for 4K editing.
Why more wires?. If you have 4 peripherals hooked up now, you have 4 wires going to 4 ports.
With USB C and one hub, you still have 4 wires going into 1 port.
The rumors say that it will have Thunderbolt 3. Thunderbolt 3 uses the USB C port.
They running repair extension program for your model GPU issues does often mitigate itself as kernel panic. Bring it to Apple Store — https://www.apple.com/uk/support/macbookpro-videoissues/

If you really want to prolong its life buy active notebook cooler stand. This will help reducing temp thus helping GPU to not fall. Also switching to integrated with https://gfx.io will also help.
