Waiting for Haswell MBP Mega Thread

[Atomic Walrus]

I'm afraid that they may end up just filling the rest of the time with stuff about the fingerprint scanner and other fluff.

CPU upgrade is impressive, obviously overkill for the phone, but Apple's making it clear that they can compete on chip development.

how long are these events usually? About an hour long?

Usually at least 90 minutes.

EDIT: DELETE: Talking out of my ass.

The 64-bit A7 in the iPhone 5S is a big deal. It means that Apple have the opportunity, if they want, take shift the Mac line from Intel to ARM processors within a few years.

I don't know about you but I don't want every single x86 app I use to be incompatible with a new ARM Mac. It happened when they went from PowerPC to Intel, but it would be a bigger deal now.

Not to mention, it removes any possibility of installing a different OS via Boot Camp.

I have a feeling that Macs wont be discussed during this keynote. It will either be a silent update or October

 

[McFreggle]

Wrapping up the iPhone. There's still time!

I recall being pleasantly surprised how smooth Apple made the PowerPC to Intel transition. It was much smoother than the 680x0 to PowerPC transition.

Linux would run fine. In another few years, Windows will not be dead yet, but it will be moribund.

 

[powerslave12r]

Cmon cmon make or break time!

 

[Watabou]

Looks like no Macbook Pro. Hopefully a silent update?

I hope so!

Im with you on this one

 

[jdsingle]

I think we can kiss the chance of a new rMBP reveal today goodbye.

Windows will not be dead yet, but it will be moribund.

This is a very bold statement. I doubt Windows will be dead or moribund any time soon or if at all.

Different operating systems offer different services and features.

You bastards

 

[PDFierro]

Dammit, now they are moving onto music before they wrap up. Looks like October.

There we go. Lots of heavy drinking across the world tonight.

 

[redsoxaa]

Pre-orders start on the 13th. Still no reason that the store should be down, there is hope yet.

 

[McFreggle]

Well guys, seems like we're still stuck with each other for some more weeks.

 

[yokken]

Awesome. Another MUSICAL GUEST! Already wrapping up? Man.........

 

[Creep89]

"Before we close, we want to return to music."

You bastards

Yeah, really disappointed.

 

[Chicane-UK]

Store has reopened. No new MacBook Pro's.

 

[iKrivetko]

Oh, bugger and blast :\

 

[JASApplications]

There was no reason for the Apple Store to go down with the announcement of the iPhone's so there is still a glimmer of hope!

Edit: Damn it!!

 

[pdpfortune]

This is disappointing. Woke up excited to see something about the new rMBP but instead we get Elvis Costello.
