Wait. So you are saying that they shouldn't announce them until September?
I was implying that they won't announce them until later, without specifying a date. I backtracked a bit though in my edit. My idea was that announcing new MBPs that come out in August would hurt sales for two months, right in the middle of the back to school promo. But maybe they feel that other macbooks can make up the difference.
You do know shipping would be about short 2 months away. Time to save for it if you are a parent or student. And we don't really know when Apple will release them. Just some more rumors.
2 months that they aren't selling current inventory and 2 months where you could choose to buy something else. I'm not really arguing two months is a year. I'm just saying the report seems to imply some very odd timing.
I know we don't know when they are coming out. What gave you the impression that I thought we knew?
Their have been rumors of a upcoming 13inch rMB, and ofcourse we have seen the leaks of the chasis for the rMBP 13. Id imagine the 13" air is actually either one of those.
But im guessing just as much as they are then, so guesses on guesses.

They could lower the prices of the current models and/or update the specs.
If this is the MBA and not the MBP released... If it's just Skylake with 13-14 hours, I'm sold. If it's retina screen included with compromises of maybe 9-11 hours, I'm sold.

They're definitely not updating the specs of any model that's about to get discontinued because of a hardware redesign. They could lower prices maybe.
Well, I've been part of several "Waiting for xxx Macbooks" clubs over the years and this one is by far the most interesting. On the one hand, extremely reliable sources are saying no hardware at WWDC. On the other hand, vague supplier leaks and common-sense timing suggests they really should show something at WWDC. I don't think things have ever been this uncertain just 5 days before the event.
If nothing else, it's been a fun ride!
yes, though I though e3 stuff starts tuesday, the day after the keynote
true, but so does the other guys, Microsoft and google
yep
lol, i could live with that.
between this and the front page, my faith is restored!! i hope so much to see new rMBP in a few days
Because that'd be silly? Cease manufacturing current Pro, put Skylake and nothing else in the same chassis, sell it for 2-3 months, and then cease manufacturing, release redesign.
They did it in the past with the cMBP... They can continue to sell the old models at a lower price.
That isn't what happened though. They kept selling the Macbook Pro without retina display, but it was updated at the same time of the release of the retina Macbook Pro as a cheap alternative. It wasn't released as a flagship product and then quietly shoved under a rug two months later.
I think the air is either dead, or is just turning into the rMB
nostalgia is kicking in.
i start to miss the good old air, it will be reminded (by me) as the longest living and best designed laptop apple ever made.
if they just added a better/bigger display (narrower bezels) and kept the lower half as it is, i would buy one in an instant.

Well all of these new reports confirm what we already know: NOTHING
They're all so contradictory
