I would think it would be towards the end. My total random guess at keynote order:

Get a cheap $300 windows laptop, that’s what you get for selling your previous computer based on rumours
9to5mac.com
Rant…..If we do not get a hardware release today, I’m putting these tabloid like Youtubers, Jon Prosser and others on notice that you have absolutely no credibility and want just higher ratings (Like clicks) and hope that your voodoo source is right. Unless you give us a source and when I say source, I mean a name like Tim Cook for your information, You will never be believed or trusted by me and others. I will hit the dislike button often on the YouTuber channels.🤬 🤮 💩👎🙉 🃏 end of rant.LovetoDream is saying Jon Prosser has got it wrong yet again and no new hardware. Prosser feels like he's fussing just as much as we are. Seems to get it wrong quite a bit.
Leaker hints at HomeKit updates, no new hardware, and more for WWDC21 - 9to5Mac
According to reliable leaker L0vetodream, Apple won't likely introduce any new hardware at the WWDC21 keynote.
Not that we know yet, but either way I wouldn't find it too surprising. Last year we went through the same thing waiting for the iMac refresh. I'm sure i was ranting about it last WWDC as i needed the machine ASAP. And I'd wager the wait for the eventual 2016 Mac Book Pro was actually the worst (people had been waiting for a redesign for 2 years plus on that one). It stinks if it doesn't happen, especially for people that need a new device now, but the pandemic/chip shortages are a serious wild factor here.
I was also thinking about a July 13 event with a late-August ship date. I guess that could still happen, but… yeah it feels weird.
No, though a lot of MacBook Pros have released in July via press release. A pre-recorded MBP event next month is still plausible IMO, though October or November seems the most likely.
