I'm not good at drawing conclusions from graphs. What does this mean in English? Does it mean that there is really no rhyme or reason when Apple decides to announce/release the laptops?

New MacBook Pros Likely to Launch at Apple Event This Month, Says Gurman

Can current M1 Macs handle COD Warzone? If not, would that be the turning point for PC/Mac wars when a M1X laptop can handle such graphics-intensive games?
Let's not forget about Monterey beta timeline if its tied to new products, and pretty much repeats Big Sur. That would be one more thing on your list towards November.
It's obvious precisely because Gurman and others have been saying that for months.
If they had been predicting new iMacs, the release of new MacBook Pros wouldn't be that obvious, would it?
And no, the number of cores he's been predicting is far from obvious. In fact, many experts were surprised by the prediction of 8 + 2 cores.
Mac mini, Mac mini, Mac mini 🤞🥳
Wonder if I'll update. I'm currently using an M1 MacBook Air that I bought last January when I was still in college, but now I find my job is requiring more demanding apps than this Mac can comfortably handle with 8GBs of RAM. I'm doing a lot more video editing, photoshop, and podcast editing than I expected to, and sometimes things move super slow on. If a 14" M1X comes with a standard 16GB of RAM and I can sell this Air for a good price I may update...
Will be interesting to see if it’s just the laptops or the upgraded “pro” Mini and iMac.
I was really hoping we’d get FaceID on the new MBP but I guess that’s a few years off and it will be touchid for the foreseeable.
I already bought 14’ Mini LED MBP on June 7th as predicted by Prosser
What’s with all the negative in this thread? Seriously take whatever is being said with a grain of salt and enjoy the upcoming keynote. People need to chill it’s like people have some financial gamble in these predictions. If you are a company and cannot wait to upgrade then make your purchase now and in two weeks decide to either cancel, return the received shipment of hardware and if you are a consumer then two weeks to make a decision is not going to be the end of you considering you have waited this long already.
As long as they are able to sell poor quality, there is no incentive to improve.
A better question is why are you letting it bother you? Do you have some personal issue with any of these people? Did they make you look foolish in front of your family, friends or other that you try to use they previous “predictions” to make yourself look cool in-front of them and then it did not turn out as so and you looked ill-informed.
Curious that is all. 😃
I am kind of skittish this year to upgrade any hardware or software coming from Apple, I have had some negative experiences lately that the odds are not looking good. I will hold-off any upgrade plans till 2022 and hopefully this is just a bad patch Apple is going through in 2021.
And what exactly do you think you’re doing?? That’s right, stating the obvious…
TBH I'd far rather the likes of Mark Gurman ceased their activities as I want to be blown away on the official reveal or equally disappointed. Only reason they do this is to line their own pockets, hopefully Apple will weed out the leakers and parasites.
From a professional point of view if one puts a great deal of time, money and effort into a project the likes of Gurman have absolutely no place in the equation...

Yep. If you go to configure a current model, it tells you 2-3 weeks turnaround time. My guess is that new models will be shipping by the end of October.
probably will be production delays just like what is now happening with the iPhone 13.
A supply chain nightmare.

Are there still rumours suggesting apple will release a new affordable display to go with the new Mac mini ?
I don't think those stats are relevant now that Apple has really increased security/monitoring of product leaks. How many have been warned by Apple lawyers this year.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that the 24" form factor is going to continue at the top of the M1 iMac line. Along with that, it would be necessary for Apple to heavily beef up the Mac mini so that you can construct configurations that are more powerful and configurable than the iMac. I just can't see a 30" all in one; that's a lot of desk real estate to lock into their most popular desktop offering.
