Probably not. But none other are as annoying or pompous as he is. Clearly I’m not alone in feeling this way towards him.

New MacBook Pro Shipments Forecasted to Begin in Third Quarter

Apple avoids September launches for laptops, as they use that month to sell previous year models to college students, who are going to buy laptops that month anyways.
Likely an October or November launch for the next laptops.
It very well could for those with physical disabilities. For people without physical or mental challenges, the newest models will turn you into a super hero complete with Mac spelled out in large letters on your chest and a golden cape flying in the wind as you fly the skies looking for Mac newbies to save.
No matter what, MR gives Prosser free front page status.
I am not in need of a Mac but, I look forward to seeing some this fall.

The tittle reads "New MBP's shipments Forcasted For 3rd Quarter" and then in the article it says 3rd or 4th quarter lol
I'll believe it when I see it by Apple at this point.

I wouldn’t have minded seeing new MacBooks or the iMac Pro at WWDC but I don’t know why anyone seriously expected to be shown.
Like I said, I wouldn’t have minded, but I thought it was unlikely.
They only released the M1 devices end of last year…

Thats unrelated. Some software can readily cause that new 24" M1 iMac with two cooling fans to get really hot to the touch (Adobe Premiere 25 min test). While this M1 SoC does most things without getting too warm, it was quite apparent the cheapest M1 iMac model is one to avoid because of the difference to cooling compared to the two better configurations. Can't imagine incorporating a M2 into the same design without better cooling.
A lot of us suspected if TSMC starts to ship M2 or whatever its identification in May it would be about 3-4 months to its announced, that's late July into August. Probably M2 iMac staggered a bit from that (Sept)
After being burnt at WWDC with no MBP's I'd like to mute any future MBP rumors until an announcement comes from Apple since while normally it's fun to speculate, I'm just so ready for them now, and don't want my heart broken again, .

Funny about a year ago I was questioning if I should get the 16" MBP or wait for the rumored AS releases. 16" 64gb ram has been amazing. And the 5600m graphics still isn't touchable by any other model.
glad I didn't wait

hmm interesting to see how many heads Jon Prosser lives in rent free. Especially since y'all were making the claim of MBPs being at WWDC months before he jumped on the bandwagon. Might wanna get a dementia test since many can't recall this all started last year. After the first wave of M1 devices Ming Chi Kuo reaffirmed statements that upper MacBook Pros were coming 3rd quarter 2021 maybe 4th due to covid consequences. Then at the start of this year more rumour mongers added weight saying they'd be ready mid - late (northern) summer. So that's July / Aug which had EVERYBODY thinking hey Apple holds an event in June, in the past they introduced hardware including new MBPs (2012) so it's reasonable to make the conclusion. This consensus was substantiated by more info such as the 2021 chips going into fabrication months ago to ready in time. All the pieces were falling into place except one, mini LED. This month supply chain news said the company making the mini LED arrays for these new MBPs only just started production. So not being ready for MPB assembly for several weeks. Strangely that key info didn't stop the rumour mills who instead rationalised we'd still get MBPs at WWDC without mini LED & it would be a feature added at the end of the year or early next. Which sounded ridiculous & it was.
The best clues are with product availability, there was absolutely nothing with availability to suggest any immediate announcement when people were hoping for new MBP at this show. Vendors putting sales prices on MBP/iMacs is not enough to discern anything either.After being burnt at WWDC with no MBP's I'd like to mute any future MBP rumors until an announcement comes from Apple since while normally it's fun to speculate, I'm just so ready for them now, and don't want my heart broken again,
Not at all. The new M chip will be targeted at the higher end (more expensive) MacBook Pro lineup and iMac is a consumer device.
There was literally NOTHING in that keynote about progress on M1 apps currently. Like zero. Not enemy a shout-out to Devs who got their stuff already native on M1 over the last year.
why are you so focused on the m1? back in intel-days there have been core i3, i5 and i7-models and xeon-ones for the mac-pros. so it's very likely m1, m1x and maybe m2 products will co-exist on shelves in retail.
My "three day wild guess": Apple has shelved the M1X SoC. Taking full advantage of the current chip shortage, Apple now has time to convert the 14" and 16" MacBook Pros to run the M2X variant of the upcoming M2 SoC, based on the A15 coming in September 2021. M2X will have 8 high performance CPU cores, 2 high efficiency CPU cores, and 16 to 32 GPU cores, all CPU and GPU cores based on the M2 design. And because it will likely arrive in early 2021, it will also sport mini LED panels. In short, Apple will in another online event unveil the M2/M2X based MacBook Air, Mac mini, MacBook Pros and iMacs.
Good points, however i don't think any of us really want MBP's utilizing mini-LED, its obviously problematic to use with tiny flat panels as feedback been given with 12.9" iPad Pro. Most TV's don't use unless 50" or bigger. So why any excitement at all for that technology against MBP's?

By that tally, Prosser is more accurate than Ming-Chi Kuo. Why do Apple sycophants get so butthurt about Prosser?
It was always reasonable to infer (if perhaps optimistic) that Q3 or 2H'21 could mean shipping late July / August. I wouldn't call that "completely out of line with the entire supply chain." All the reliable analysts were noncommittal on a specific timeframe. Given the chip shortage and possible mini-LED constraints, we all should have been a bit more skeptical of shipment earlier in the second half of the year.
2H'21 means the analysts don't know if it's Q3 or Q4. If July/August had any real possibility of happening, analysts would have converged on mid-2021 or Q3.
We had people doing mental gymnastics saying, "If Kuo and Nikkei and Digitimes said 2H, it could mean July shipping and it would be launched at WWDC, right? Right??" Again, this made zero sense given analysts said 2H. They said 2H because they didn't think it was going to be early Q3. In addition, none of those WWDC theories could explain why Apple would voluntarily Osborne their existing MacBooks, which would negatively impact revenue.
Nikkei reported M2 wafer starts began in April. Digitimes said Epistar was trailing mini LED for MacBook in May. Nothing in the supply chain ever suggested WWDC.
It makes sense to wait a year between Mac Mini models. I read a report that the mini-LED screen production was sluggish, so whether or not it would be on the new Pro's was temporarily in question. Mac Mini's were on sale for Memorial Day and before, so I thought they were depleting inventory. wrong.
