They didn't bring down the store for the last product release. But, I still agree on no new hardware today.
Got a tip for us?

This is what I expected, even if I hope I'm wrong.
As I said in a different post, we're only mid-way in the transition to all-Apple Silicon.
I think that next year is when the metal meets the meat.

Heh. I was wondering if someone would ask about that.😈🥑?
In French, lawyer and avocado are the same word, "avocat".
So, "Devil's avocado" is a geeky language joke.

Disagree, I still think it gets released within the next few months, given that
A: Colleges are starting to go back to fully in person classes
B: they want these released and for sale for the Back to school period, which is one of their bigger sales periods I think
C: the regulatory filings
If a new Macbook Pro were going to launch, wouldn't it have been used in the official teaser images, which instead include the current notebooks?
Well if it's not released for the Back to school period they'll want to release it at least 14 days after that period ends to try to limit returns for refunds.

I doubt that would do that and piss of a crap load of people, especially college students
So I still think that even if its not announced today, it still will be released in time for back to school
Well, they wouldn't have been that obvious. But using them at all, knowing there is so much anticipation for them is not wise...
Agree. New MBPs will mostly likely be released this year. It's just a matter of when this year. Next year is too late.
would said no . Web development did not required hardware specific on apple. Swift still can be run on linux platform .
Today trend writing code base in flutter and react native which some provide tool to compile to iOS platform. But for me, i rejecting it because better write code in swift /swift ui in real apple hardware.
I do think Apple may release information on the M1X SoC at WWDC, but any new hardware may not be announced until about a month from now.
Trouble is, that cuts both ways. Some people will already be reluctant to buy a 16" or higher-end 13" MBP with Intel - one year in to an (announced) two year transition, so sales of those could be tanking. Some "pro" customers will be buying $1500 MBPs when Apple could be selling them $3000 MBPs. Of those, some will be happy, and never buy $3000 Macs again... others will be unhappy (no folks, 16GB on M1 does not equal 32GB on Intel) and may not buy Macs again. Users who are skeptical about the whole "Apple Silicon" thing will stay skeptical until Apple shows a credible "pro" system, and possibly dump Apple entirely.
Lol I should make a Twitter account and call myself a “leaker” because my track record is better than almost any of them 😂 I got attacked on here for suggesting we wouldn’t see the 32” Apple Silicon iMacs by some imaginary February event & Apple Silicon Mac Pro by WWDC! Lol
I always remember the episode of South Park in which religion had gone and everyone just started fighting about other dumb stuff because people feel the need to join a ”side” and need to put down something that isn’t what they like - rather than just liking what they like.
It turns out that it’s the same, even in this microcosm of Apple rumours. It feels like clan warfare going on between Prosser haters and Love2dream haters 😂
People are weird for taking the view that there can be only one - kind of like the The Highlander (but for Apple leaks).

yes, I mean I am pretty sure that outside of the holiday season, Back to school season is when apple sells the most laptops in the entire year. To not release these by then, would be malpractice by apple
I always think l0vetodream's source is supply chain information. So Apple could still show off their scaled M1x chips today but not make the 14"/16 available to buy until say Sep/Oct/Nov .
Apple already has a full line up products to sell to College students. The iMac just recently released. This market you speak of doesn’t need cutting edge tech.
According to AppleTrack he’s 79% right. That’s quite far away from “almost always wrong”. L0ve2Dream has better accuracy though But judging by what others have said here, he’s being kind of non-comital on hardware.
In response to a tweet asking if there will be hardware announcements at WWDC 2021, cryptic but reliable leaker "l0vetodream" suggested there won't be any. In a follow-up tweet, he seems to have ruled out new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models being unveiled at this time, suggesting that it is still too early for an announcement.
Leading up to WWDC, which kicks off today with Apple's Keynote at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, there had been some rumors that at least one new MacBook Pro model with Apple silicon would be announced at the developer conference. However, supply chain reports from outlets like Nikkei Asia and DigiTimes have claimed that mass production of new MacBook Pro models will not begin until the second half of 2021.
The leaker also hinted at a new user interface for at least one of Apple's software platforms, although he did not specify which one, and said that Apple plans to announce improvements to its smart home framework HomeKit.
WWDC is Apple's annual developers conference, and it is typically focused on software, with Apple expected to unveil iOS 15, iPadOS 15, macOS 12, watchOS 8, and tvOS 15. However, as noted by Stephen Hackett at Six Colors, Apple has made at least one hardware announcement at 65 percent of WWDC keynotes over the last two decades.
Just prior to WWDC 2020 last year, l0vetodream accurately revealed the macOS Big Sur name and several other details.

This is exactly my expectation, namely that we will not see any new hardware today. I believe that Apple will hold a special event around October to show us the new MacBook Pro and new iMac Pro.
The reason a lot of people love to hate on the first one is because he's obnoxious.
Interesting. I don't even know who "Kang" is.
EDIT:
Ah, here we go:
