And none will have headphone jacks and all will have 5000RPM HDD options.
Personally, with Tim Cook steering the boat, my expectations have been dropping next to zero.

While it's unlikely, Apple may put the AirPods up for pre-order after the event, or even better, announce they'll be in stores this Friday.
Hey everybody! The USB-C dongles are right down there!
Please leave an HDMI or even mini HDMI... I'm probably in the minority on this but it's nice to have a near-universal display output option for those moments when you forget your bag-o-dongles.
Can the endless, whiney, "Where are the new Macs??" posts finally stop now?
Ummm yeah. I'm in the market for a new Mac Desktop. I'm looking at the 27" iMac. I am hoping, AT LEAST, that they will come with, at a minimum, 256 SSD instead of a freaking HDD or Fusion drive, forcing an expensive upgrade to get to a SSD. Should be a no brainer but we all know Apple - charge premium prices for the product then gouge on upgrades.
Also wondering, with the talk of elimination of ports on the MB Pro, what they'll ditch on the new iMacs (should there be any). I'm really hoping i can connect the devices I have without resorting to a dongle farm hanging off the back of the iMac. At least give me the standard T-Bolt ports so I can connect my Apogee audio interface and a Thunderbolt dock - from which I can connect most other things...
Or perhaps a new Mac Pro, one that's actually designed for Pro users. One would think that with all the users decrying the 2013 TC Mac Pro Apple would get a clue and build what Pro users actually need - a form factor that makes sense and allows for plenty of expansion as we need. Audio Pros - we don't necessarily need 2 big deal video cards but we need a powerful CPU and plenty of RAM and ports to connect our gear. Yeah - Not holding my breath here....
Not seeing a lot of buzz, though, about new desktops, just MacBooks. I guess we'll find out soon. At least if the update is underwhelming it should drive down the price it'll cost for me to get into a 2015 4.0 GHz iMac with SSD...I hope.

Not until they will be actually released.
And even then, I'll bet Mac Pro and Thunderbolt Display will still be missing.
This means a new Mac mini is almost certainly coming
W...why did you buy the MacBook, then? It prioritises ultraportability over all else. Even the cheaper MacBook Air is a more powerful option.
It's a little unrelated, but I'll admit I do feel about the same way about these Macs as I did about Starcraft 2. And just like Starcraft, I probably won't be buying one for another year or more.
Man with so many people waiting a long time for these the demand is going to be unreal. Get in line or you will be out of luck for a while. I expect long waits.
Don't expect a Mac Pro update. The machines are just so poorly designed it's not funny.
We had a major overheating issue with the top of the line CTO model and after scouring the forums we saw this is a very common issue. We joined a discussion on an Apple forum and their own representative told us this advice:
"Try and find a Mac Pro 5,1 to do your work"
So even Apple don't trust their own product! I'd say they'll either discontinue it quietly at some stage, or offer a major redesign again to fix the thermal core issues.

Hopeful that some more SOLID rumors start coming in about Macs other than just the MBP. It will truly SUCK if they don't update the Mini, iMac, and MP.
