Does anyone think that Apple will be updating the Cinema Display?

According to the Buyer's Guide, the current Cinema Display model is 764+ days old.

I know that the Cinema Display already has a Mini-Display/Thunderbolt port but I believe that it has USB 2 hub.

I'm pretty sure that the Mac Pro is going to be USB 3 and it would make sense that the Cinema Display would get a spec increase to a USB 3 hub.

Part of the reason why I am wondering is because I plan on purchasing a Mac Pro and two Cinema Display and am curious if I should buy the monitors now or wait and bundle them together.

What are your thoughts?

I think they will. If not next week, I think before middle of next year. USB3 and TB2 specs must be update and hopefully the 4K talk will bring higher resolutions too.
I for one would love to see the 30" back with a matte option. ( I know that one is a pipe dream). ;)
 
Historically OSX has never been this LATE before.. Last Year was in July and the following year, in July. Without Steve Jobs they are lagging behind!! The sooner Angela Ahrendts, the current CEO of Burberry starts work for Apple the BETTER. I SAY!! A lot of people were dismayed and disappointed with the WWDC this year. FACT! Take a look at the share price from May to now, ... I rest my case.

Historically OS X updates were released with nowhere near this frequency. Apparently you're new to Macs.
 
And Aperture too.

Yes. Everyone is just talking about iOS-related apps these days and maybe somewhat about iLife, but it would be so good to see an (significantly) updated Aperture, not to mention iWork. These apps might not have a serious impact in terms of Apple's revenue, but have been essential in showing that Apple can can excel in productivity software, if they want to.
There is so much potential for added goodness in Keynote. Pages and Numbers I have given up on - I fear Apple too.
 
i really think Apple are missing something..
Intel's next chip after Haswell is delayed anyway... but it's not just this issue.
the hardware is not new, has been around since the wwdc.

Don't get me wrong here, i like what Apple are doing but they are playing catchup!!
Let's have something completely new and different.. Not just better but so new it redefines computing.
 
About bloody time, too!! Most of this stuff was announced in June. It is very disgraceful making the public wait so long... Especially for devices like the new Mac Pro. Just think of how much income Apple has lost by delaying the release of such a device like that. The same with OSX Mavericks and IOS 7.

So, if Apple didn't tell you about the new products until they were ready you would be bitching that they didn't forewarn you of their upcoming goodies right?
 
What about possible iWatch release on the 22nd?:confused:

Anything is possible with "a lot to cover" theme but I am pretty sure regardless, there would a large contingent of those in the disappointed camp aka "Apple is doomed / evil" mob.
 
- iPad: Expect a new iPad mini-inspired design that is thinner, narrower, and lighter.
I can agree that this has a high possibility of appearing at the keynote.

- iPad mini: Retina display expected, but there have been questions about production and whether Apple be able to ship the new device in significant quantities, if at all, before the holidays.
I don't agree here. iPad Mini yes. With retina screen no. I think there needs to be the screen differentiation still to keep the products different enough. But if a retina screen pops up on this I will not be surprised.

- OS X Mavericks: Reportedly due for launch before the end of the month, we should see a final unveiling next week. Other software updates including new versions of Apple's iWork and iLife suites, including iWork for iCloud, are also expected.
From the rumours so far and how far the 10.9 beta has progressed along I agree with this.

- Mac Pro: Announced by Apple as launching "this fall" following a sneak peek at WWDC in June, Apple's radically redesigned professional desktop should get a through introduction next Tuesday.
I think the Mac Pro will be talked about as a footnote only as it already had it's big announcement at WWDC. I think we'll find out how close to a date and the all important price we are at.

Some have speculated that updated displays may arrive to complement the new Mac Pro, but there has been no specific evidence of a display refresh.
I don't think we will get displays now. No part leaks. But they could talk displays at the Mac Pro can handle 3x 4k supposedly.

- MacBook Pro: An update for Apple's Retina MacBook Pro line has been expected for several months, moving to Intel's new Haswell processors for improved battery life. While it seems that Apple would want to feature the MacBook Pro improvements at its event, the list of products to be covered is beginning to get rather long and so it is unclear if the updated notebooks will make an appearance at or alongside the event or at a separate time.
I think these will not be mentioned at the keynote. Just a silent update like the iMacs got. If anything a tony footnote mention or silent update.

- Mac mini: There have been no specific rumors about the Mac mini, but it too is due for an update to Haswell processors.
As above, footnote mention or silent update.

- An Apple TV wildcard: There have been some rumblings over the past several months that Apple is planning some sort of TV-related announcement for late this year, but there has been no concrete evidence of any imminent introduction.
There has been some TV rumours of recent. So I think it's a possibility. If anything this is the right keynote of the year to talk about this.
 
Im getting 2 ipads, and of new Apple tv is coming! That would make my day as I have old one 720p!

You couldn't be more wrong. That's twice in July, previous versions shipped in August, October, April, October, August, September, and some of those coming close to two year gaps. The month of the year it ships in is irrelevant, it's nonsensical to use that to claim it's "late".

And Jobs himself announced the postponement of an OSX release by several months, that was a release that was truly late since it had a release window announced then missed it in a big way.

Take a look at the share price from May to now

In may it got down to 426, now it's over 500. What do you think that proves? Or did you not actually look at the stock price and think it went down in that time?

Would Haswell chips be better on the MAC PRO?

Doesn't matter, intel is a couple generations behind on the Xeon versions so haswell xeon is a long way off.
 
Not at all. Been with them since the late 80s!!

I have seen so many u turns with the company, its sickening really.. so many shelved projects that haven't even been leaked !!

It's the products that Apple reject that make Apple the best.
 
Zero. Won't be around until the end of next year at the earliest. And it likely will get its own Keynote address should it ever materialize.

Yep, you are right about the own keynote, but i disagree with the prediction of the end of next year. It seems that they have been working on iWatch for many months now... Especially when you look at the patents that have been filed. I could see it coming much sooner in the near future...

my point is that when steve jobs was alive the shares where over 600 regularly!!
