I'm not so sure -- others are coming to market with IGZO now. I'd be happy to see a IGZO screen at the current resolution, to get the brightness and battery life advantages. Higher resolution would be icing on the cake.
Having your phone in the same pocket as keys, is not being careful
...and i base this on absolutely nothing."
You cant really know what they will do.
Most likely it will go down in price on retailers, and it will more then likely see big price cuts the coming months, especially during the holidays.
If they are discontinuing the cMBP they will try to sell of the remaining stock. And a price cut during holidays is a great way to do it.
...and i base this on absolutely nothing
C I can do that to.
How is your "prediction" better then mine?
I was just giving my thoughts. Can I not guess that they will NOT lower prices? Or does this offend you?
Can people not have a guess without others always trying to make them look dumb?
Higher resolution would be icing on the cake. Maybe next year that could happen but I'm definitely with you on wanting the battery improvement. With Haswell, IGZO, and Mavericks battery life could be drastically improved.
Still holding out hope for a 16GB of RAM BTO option for the 13".
I read somewhere that Apple is going to raise the price of their newly released MBP's by a significant amount, could that be true? 
1. Unlikely.I read somewhere that Apple is going to raise the price of their newly released MBP's by a significant amount, is that true?
2. How/why would you think anyone here has any idea what Apple's pricing structure will be?
I hope you're right.
I'm just worried. It's true, there's nobody who can be sure of their pricing structure, but what if they turn out to be right.. I hope the price won't be a lot higher than the current, I've been saving for quite a long time now.
That's exactly the option I'm looking for Same internals same price, looking so forward to this!
I generally find that in the days building up to an Apple event, every day seems to quickly pass. Its when it gets to the point where its only a matter of hours and minutes left waiting for the start of the keynote, when time slows down to a gradual halt.
Oh the anticipation.

Raise the price? They are already ridiculously expensive. Lowering I could understand, but raising the price ..
no
I read somewhere that Apple will be live streaming to a keynote party in London, so I can only imagine that it very well may be.
Mine was aswell, lol
Although it's a joke, I'm not going to let myself think rMBPs will be released at the next event. I was so disappointed when it did not come out at WWDC - here I was listening to the damn conference, waiting to purchase and it took a few minutes to sink in after they moved from MBA to Mac Pro. That sucked!
I hope it's released and it would be so nice if the new rMBPs come with 1TB SSD option, more than 16GB ram(doubt I even need it), and higher CPU(not that I'll need it). As long as I get something sufficiently more than I can currently get at or below the current price, I think the wait would have been worth it.

mine (h)aswell lol
cheeky
I hope they dont put a 128 GB SSD in the 13 inch. The 13 inch really doesn't have anything "Pro" about it at the moment (except for maybe the screen). Tbh both the macbooks should have 256GB-1TB SSD (PCIe), 8-16GB Ram, i7 cpus and iris/iris pro graphics. The gap between the 13 and the 15 is ridiculous at the moment.
And make the 13 inch as thin as the 15 inch, otherwise they are just taking the piss out of 13 inch buyers.
And plz stop with the IZGO nonsense. In a year MAYBE.

I have been waiting for so long I don't even care anymore about what the Haswell rMBP will be. The only thing necessary for me in my 15" rMBP is a 512GB SSD (I hope it'll be standard , but very unlikely).
Most importantly: Base 15" rMBP for 1999 dollars/euros max

This is EXACTLY what I would like - if thats what comes I'll buy straight away!
That is being generous. Look at last years rMBP launch. People were waiting over a month for systems ordered from Apple on release day. There was a giant thread of people tracking Fedex planes lol. And of course, other vendors had supply problems also.

512GB SSB is already the standard. They need to make 768GB SSD the new standard.
