Apple does not typically do major hardware refreshes before the end of a fiscal quarter. They are almost always right after the start of a new quarter. The 3rd quarter starts June 28th I believe. If they do announce anything you won't be able to order till Probably July 2nd. I personally would not expect new hardware announcement until about the first week of July.
Got a tip for us?

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

The original tweet was not a firm prediction. It basically said he was thinking it may be too early.
It was a different tone from his real leak tweets.l0vetodream said:
BTW, even if it is "too early" for right now, the other possibility is that it could get announced and then won't ship for a few weeks. I'm just guessing though of course. We'll know for sure in a few hours. I do find it curious that there will be a separate Apple Music event, but I guess that makes sense since Apple Music doesn't have as much to do with WWDC.
Cant we all just wait a few more hours then we'll have all the answers you need lol
yup.. That makes sense, Also you usually do not sere regulatory filings for a product unless it is very close to a release
Because it’s a developer event, I expect a chip roadmap discussion.
The risk for Apple as an all-in-one chip and device company now is spelling out the roadmap will cause even more reluctance for people to buy an M1 machine with its limitations.

not if you’re a developer, which was/is the focus of WWDC
Just to play the devil's avocado...
IIRC, some of the iPads got European regulatory filings something like 6 months in advance.
Unreliable Leaker suggests there may or may not be new hardware announced later today at WWDC.
"I confidently predict that after the event we will know for sure" says UL.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I’m happy if this is true. I want there to be enough software changes to take up the usual 2 hours without any hardware stuff. Software changes should be big enough to support their own event.
tvOS is getting stale too… let‘s hope it‘s not one of the filler OS (I consider watchOS and tvOS to be filler / padding OS that helps pad out WWDC keynotes… when was the last time something big was announced for these 2 at a WWDC? Most big stuff needs hardware on watchOS).
Let’s see John Prosser scramble to save his own a** again. This platform needs to stop making his leaks relevant since he’s mostly always wrong
If true I will have to change my M1 MBA 8/256 for 16/512. I was expecting pros so went with cheapest Air to minimize loss.
Correction:
The Verge: something to passively-aggressively moan about to come across as tough, independent and intellectual
MKBHD: something to criticise its bezels because that’s exactly what 99% of people care about
iJustine: personally I find her a joy to watch and very talented. I would hate to see her become a cynical nit-picker like the rest.

Perhaps the rest of the event. But the presentation is aimed at media. The seats are full of bloggers/media. Not devs. No one but devs care about the developers sessions.
I’m guessing he’s gotten to the point now where being “right” isn’t even important. Once you’ve got a fan base like that, the prevailing psychology of today means they feel they must stick with him to protect him from all the people that want to hold him accountable to some arbitrary idea of being actually right about rumors.
“Look,” they exclaim, “That was his OPINION that Apple would release a Windows compatible toenail clipper and OBVIOUSLY a joke! Now pardon me while I go send another few dollars because last time he SAID MY USERNAME ON STREAM!!”
I don’t want dull. I pay a yearly fee to MR so I will get to see off the wall excitement.
I believe if you ask developers they’ll say that while there were media sections, the broader seating space was for developers, the ones that paid their money to attend (prior to COVID).
