It is very unlikely that we see any Mac with an IGZO display tomorrow.
----------
I guess the display will not get any brighter, as it would suck more battery.
I don't think IGZO displays will be out so soon. Sharp announced it would begin manufacturing these displays in June, so availability should be by the end of the year.
I believe Fujistu has been releasing 'Retina' quality displays for a very long time. I can't seem to find the information, but they've been releasing them in Japan (only) for just under or over a decade. The market is very small, hence they don't need as much supply. I think it makes more then sense for a Japanese company to feature IGZO displays on their 'niche' laptops before mass-market laptops.

I couldn't find anything on these high-resolution Fujitsu displays, and I've kept a reasonably updated list of all these displays here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1542211/
12 hours!
Just woke up. Looking so much forward to it!!!
I'm jealous of many of you guys. You can just wake up and see it. I have to walk around all day, 12 hours to see it...
the keynote is 3AM in the morning in my place .... imagine that
i won't expect much about getting IGZO or whatever new stuff they're coming out with but rather A DAMN GOOD QUALITY panel.
enough with those ghosting and dead pixels, can we just sort those first before expecting something more :/
its a fujitsu alright. and now we have the acer s7 and the zenbook infinity for you to add to that list, all using IGZO
its already being produced and shipped with, the kirabook is being sold and the new ultrabooks are getting ready to be sold middle to the end of this month
aside that we do have the gt60 dragon super duper edition with 2880*1620 panel, which is dont think its igzo and has a very strange res

It'll be 2 p.m. here. I'll be heading to the airport to catch a plane to NY. And hoping for the Haswell rMBP to be released!

It's already added. I don't think the Aspire S7 and the Zenbook Infinity use IGZO displays. Only the Fujitsu does. They are all added to the list.
Really? So soon?
Which is this one?

yeah really, it wasnt a paper launch, they actually sold it, or something like that.
I think its igzo, they fill out all of the necessary points
Yep. Hopefully when I wake up tomorrow morning I'll be able to hear about how soon I'll be ordering my Haswell rMBP!!

I remember this time last year when leaked pictures of MacBook Pro carton labels were released and we knew pretty much what was coming. This time around we have nothing but rumours. Have these notebooks been shipped to any Apple Stores and are they ready to be rolled off the shelves? I suspect the new models will be announced today but won't be available immediately.
And did you notice the price of those Iris 5200 Quad-Cores? Has Intel gone nuts? Do they really expect OEMs to dish out that kind of money for those integrated GPUs? Has anyone read anything about dual-core Haswell chips with the Iris 5200GPU option? They would probably be a good bet for the 13" models.

Me too, just woke up and flying out to the east coast. That just means I extra hour of waiting. I get there around 11am, so that's 8am pacific and we all know nothing happens at 8am in California.
in my country, shipping times slipping from 5 days to 3 weeks a few days ago but now it returned back to 5 days.
I'm not sure if that indicates anything, but hopefully they release something in this event.
Apple must have gotten smart to this. They can't trust all their stores to keep everything under wraps. I'll bet there are shipments ready to head to stores at this moment.
how about existing stocks? do they actually supply more than enough stocks to stores and resellers so nobody will suspect upcoming refresh?
