Yep. After their somewhat poor performance last year and earlier this year, Apple needs as much good news as possible to keep their stock going in the right direction.

I'd say if they don't do it on the 13th (which would be preferable), then they should reveal it no later than Tuesday the 18th and release it on Friday the 21st which will give them the chance to add launch day sales to their investor meeting. Holding the event after the investor meeting seems like a wasted opportunity. Looking back at their October keynote history, it looks like Apple definitely seems to prefer Tuesdays.

October 13th would be nice but realistically, if we really are getting an event this month, I'd almost be willing to bet money that we'll see invites go out next week for an event on October 18th. I guess we'll see if I'm right pretty soon.

Someone on another forum made a good point that Apple likely prepares for and knows far in advance which dates they will hold events. Therefore, its unlikely that they would slip up and set their earning call meeting on the same date as a product reveal. So I'm thinking the "scheduling conflict" might not have anything to do with the Mac event.

That just adds more fuel to my October 18th theory.

Thanks.
You are probably right.
Couldn't the event also be the day before earnings call. On Monday the 24th?

Anything is possible but my guess would be no. Apple seems to stick to Tuesdays for their events. I'm thinking we'll see an announcement on Tuesday and a release on Friday. That allows them to make it available while the hype is at its highest. That should give them a solid amount of sales between launch and the investor meeting which will be good since Apple reported low Mac sales at their last meeting.

That was the deal we made with Tim.

Well time to go apply for that Amex this weekend so I get it in time, starting to look like the launch is imminent.

Someone please distract me until next week.

Oh, we'll find a way to pass the time. I know it seems far away, but the wait shortens by the minute...

I've only been posting in this thread for two or three weeks and am honestly surprised I'm hanging in there. Can't imagine how the rest of you feel.
 
When this thread is over, it would be cool to have a datatable showing different books you could of read instead, depending on what page you started reading.
I was here since about 130 probably could of read the Bible as equivalent already.

Good god Dell is driving me nuts asked them if I could have Windows 10 enterprise installed if I pay extra..flat out said that's not part of the configuration. Then I wanted to upgrade the 8gig to 16 gig I can do that but only! with the 15 inch version. MS is doing a good job of driving people into Apple products right now unreal

So I guess it's MBP 13, 16 gig, 512 ssd or bust. Also decided I'm guy the old version if all new ones have the touch bar because I need my function keys
