Of course there will be a new one. Apple isn't going to stick with ivy bridge for two years in a row, and they certainly will not discontinue the rmbp.
Got a tip for us?

Waiting for Haswell MBP Mega Thread

At least my expenses will be spread out. iPhone next week, and then no money spent on a Mac until at least 30 days later. And then I'm thinking about an iPad.
Expensive fall for all.
You, uh, are aware that MBP screens used to be IPS, and at some point Apple downgraded them to TN, right? I don't know for sure about the 2009 MBPs, but my 2007 certainly has IPS.
It makes a lot of sense that the Mavericks launch and the rMBP launch is together.
My money is on the simultaneous launch.

I would feel quite happy if they can put that fingerprint touch ID into the new Haswell RMBP too. It won't be that hard cause they can already put it into a small phone. And a touchID would be very very convenient to have because we use 10 times more passwords on our computer than in the phone.
What do u guys think?

This is what I think:
September 25th price drop on current MBP and rMBP, roughly $200.
Haswell rMBP announcement another 2 weeks after that.

I really don't think it's going to be delayed beyond 24th. It just 'feels' right this time.
The sept 10th event was a hope against hope kind of a deal.
This was everyone during/before the Sep 10 event.

Yeah, I can't see it going past that either. I'm content with knowing we are only a month or so away. We had to get through June, July, and August. We're almost there.
Yes, I was referring to October, not September.
Oh so the 24th of October - yeah I could see that.
Yeah, very.

We said that in August too
Idk, I'm not feeling an October launch, and my gut feeling has so far been wrong each time in predicting the launch, so perhaps October will be the month it comes out.

If not October, then that means never.
Are you implying that Apple would just wait until Broadwell, or that they would go crazy and discontinue the whole retina MacBook Pro lineup, never to be seen again

I'm implying that it will be released in October, and there is really no reason it wouldn't be. That was always more logical than September.
So I'm in a little predicament, I have the ability to snag an open box Macbook Retina, I know the person who returned it and it was only used a day so condition is flawless. The Macbook is at $1300 but they are willing to bring it down a bit, it's 256GB. For the sake of saving a couple hundred would it be bad to purchase it or should I wait? I have a Pro already so I don't really NEED a computer, but I could use one.
Yep. I'm in the triple treat boat as well. iPhone, rMBP and iPad5. Gonna be fun!
My guess is either late September or, if in October, then between the 1st and 131st of October.

October has 131 days this year?
