Reliable Leaker Suggests No MacBook Pro or Other Hardware Announcements at WWDC Today

Could be tactical from Apple to reduce people up in arms about something that was only a rumour anyway.
it’d be funny if Apple made the m1 so good that they can’t currently get anything to run faster than it, without costing 10 times as much.
I am surprised Apple has not hidden an Easter egg in the reflection of those Memojis glasses
I've always assumed the shut down is suspense building theatre - they don't actually need to shut down the website just to update it
!If! this turns out to be true, it is quite clear that the "M1X" died some time ago (for whatever reasons) and new/stronger HW has to wait till M2 variants are ready.
Heck that may even be the real reason that the bigger iMacs have 2 fans (them being destined for M1X).
We'll know a little more in a few hours.

He tried to predict the release date of AirTags like 3 or 4 times before he randomly managed to get it right. I wouldn’t count that.
Its Gurman vs Lovetodream , not sure who I got on this one , both are heavy hitters and can throw combos in a hurry , Gurman has the weight and volume advantage as he broke the latest M2/M1X rumors , so I tend to go with him for this one as he seems to be on top of It , but Lovetodream counter uppercut which he just threw in this thread might take Gurman down , its a close one , if it was Prosser vs Lovetodream without Gurman prediction , then its an EASY K.O for lovetodream with Prosser splat on the floor.
LETS GO GURMAN KILL THAT DREAMER !!!!
well? did I hype it enough ?

It’s all about reliability. What’s the reason of writing about rumors which are almost never true?
I don’t remember the 2020 WWDC, but I know he incorrectly predicted the AirTags event 3 times in a row, and finally “got it right” the 4th time.
Eh, you're quick to take away the credit on the iMac colors. The argument could be made that the paler, lighter colors of the green/blue/red iMacs are similar to the iPad Air colors he claimed they would match. I believe he leaked Android 12 and the Pixel 6 before anyone, which moreso just adds credibility to him being someone who gets valid information even though it's not an Apple leak.
He pegged the embargo dates/times of the M1 iPad and iMac reviews exactly, and said there would be an April event after he was wrong about March (not many people were so quick to assume there would be an April event just because the March event was skipped). We'll see how those M2 MBA and AW7 renders pan out...
Well, when Apple announced the new iMacs they weren't immediately on sale. Lots of the most recent products have been announced before you could even pre-order them.
Working for Apple over the years, Apple has kept the larger machines for fall holiday season. So I don't see much hardware released due to the iMac, new iPads, airtags, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 13 and Mac mini have already been released for the year.
Not surprised at all, WWDC typically (not always) is focused strictly on software.
Yep, it totally is. I'm sure it grinds their IT departments gears that the marketing team makes them do this all of the time (makes them look inept with their peers) - but, often, you just have to suck it up and let marketing have their way.
I think it was more of a 'they're ready to go - they could be announced' sort of thing, which was eventually proven right when they started shipping and all those 2019 copyright labels were found on the boxes. I'm not saying he's perfect by any means but statistically he is more often right than wrong.
He did, but then he also send out a flurry of tweets saying, correctly, what changes would be included in the new watches.. So I don't know if it was a joke tweet or what.
Not at all. WWDC is going to be very exciting. Maybe your interests are just too narrow. If so, that's your problem, not WWDC's.
Many people is niche. If you read Macrumors yes, but the vast majority of consumers don’t know or care about what’s on the inside. I went to check out an apartment for rent, the person currently living there has a 13 in MacBook Pro hooked up to what looks like a 32 inch curved screen.
There is a reason why Apple chose to go with 13 inch MacBooks for the M1, that size is a big seller. If the 16 inch was a big seller, they surely would have launched the M1 or optimized version with a 16 inch MacBook Pro.
Not the most important thing here but the link regarding Six Colors about hardware being announced at WWDC is written by a guy named Stephen Hackett and I only feel a little bad for him because he has to go by Stephen because some guy in Genesis decided to absolutely be absolutely fire on the guitar 50 years ago.
He will just make something up saying that isn't what he meant like he always does. Dude is a clown.
The actual conference is for developers.
The keynote that kicks off the conference, however, has always been one of Apple's 3-4 big press events of the year, has been live streamed publicly even before the conference went online, and has often been used to announce hardware (most recently, Mac Pro and iMac Pro). Sometimes it has been software-only. You can't tell.
...yup, that's the real problem. The M1 blows other ultra-portable stuff out of the water and is OK for lower-end desktops, but Apple need to show us that Apple Silicon can scale to more powerful systems (no, the M1 matching/beating the i7/i9 in a drag race on some workloads is promising, but not a compelling reason for users of higher-end Intel Macs to switch). Killing sales of existing machines is a problem - but so is people holding off buying because of uncertainty.
Would you buy an Intel MBP now, as an "upgrade", unless forced to by circumstances?
