Leaked Model Numbers Hint at Updated Notebooks for WWDC

Well. It did receive a different model number so I call it an update. Also it seems to be quoted as an update on the buyer's guide. The classic Macbook Pro has hardly changed in the 5 or so years its been out.
I like my 2012 cMBP with USB 3. That was a wonderful update that made it worth buying, in my case.
There better be a new Mac Pro with Thunderbolt, Bluetooth 4.0, USB 3.0, SATA III, BTO non-Xeon server processor options and a new chassis. C'mon Apple, get with it! Let's bring back the "pro" to WWDC.
I'm vibing with everything but the non-Xeon bit....?
Since 2010:
Arrandale CPU->Sandy Bridge CPU->Ivy Bridge CPU
NVIDIA GPU->AMD GPU->NVIDIA GPU
USB 2.0->USB 3.0
Displayport->Thunderbolt
Yep, hardly changed at all they have.
Why can't Apple listen to consumers once and make MacBook Air Pro?????
I guess they will. IGZO display tech and Haswell and it's power savings enable to make the Retina MBP even thinner e.g. a Retina "Air" Pro.
It has been mentioned that IGZO is being manufactured by Sharp.
Furthermore, the reliable KGI guy said the retina MBP will get even thinner.
Last but not least it has been said the new rMBP will be in short supply because of low yield rates of the display. Low yield rates indicate a technology shift from LCD to IGZO.
It all fits!

We haven't had any blurry pics of Apple product boxes on a pallet this year so maybe that's next.
I guess those codes would make sense for third party retailers and online. If you go into the Apple retail store they usually have a third "ultimate" option but I don't see a code for that so who knows.
I hear that Sony are planning to unveil the PS4 on the 10th as well so it's going to be an exciting day next Monday.

new OSX too. every yearThis will be an interesting WWDC...lots to hope for!
new iOS
new MacBooks
...and HOPEFULLY a new Mac Pro
I think the three other SKUs are for Airport products, bringing you the 802.11ac standard which will be included in the new MacBooks:
"Good" for Airport Extreme
"Better" for Time Capsule with 2TB
"Best" for Time Capsule with 4TB
Would perfectly make sense, because Apple has to support 802.11ac when including this with new MacBooks. Otherwise you would not be able to use it.

"A notebook refresh is expected to be the hardware highlight of WWDC, although Apple is likely to introduce a number of new products once accessories and configuration options are accounted for. "

Lol. Obviously our definition of 'change' is different.
I meant more in terms of physica and radicall change as oppose to adding a USB 3 or Thunderbolt.
Anyway!
whatever they are
I hope for a Mac Pro. It would be nice to see this get a real update.
I don't use MPs, but it would be great for Apple to continue to make them.
