Waiting for the 2018 MBP

[Appleaker]

More like October, Apple has a history of every few years holding:

WWDC
September - iPhone’s and Apple Watch
October - Mac’s and iPad’s

There is an outside possibility that Mac’s could be silently updated, spec updates don’t really need an event.

Macs won’t be silently updated, once again it’s not just a spec bump for the majority of Macs.

If it’s not a spec bump what is it? I can’t see there being a redesign just yet. My guess is an October event then.

Does anybody know what time before the WWDC that the Apple Store tends to be shut down?

Edit: Or does that even happen?

Maybe around 9 eastern give or take.

Maybe around 9 eastern give or take.

Will it even close down this time around? I mean if we don't see any hardware, why shut it down?

Price adjustments perhaps?

New watchbands? New seasonal colours for cases?

New watchbands? New seasonal colours for cases?

Ahh good point, I do expect to see new watchbands.

Have they just got the 14.3 from the 2017 Mbp model number and just assumed that’s a new screen size?

I've never known that I could laugh and cry simultaneously, since I saw this "report"...

This happens every single time when one of these Geekbench scores surfaces ...

Conflicted about today

I'm not really in a rush to get a laptop and can wait until October

But I also just want to see new laptops

 

[boombox15]

I would think that if new hardware was going to be announced today, the store would be down by now.

Where do you see Radeon Pro 560 there? Benchmark results are consistent with the Intel HD 630. The Pro 560 benches around 6000 in 3dMark 11

That model is it new?

Maybe they'll announce something today, but they won't ship until later?

 

[clangers23]

Quad core 13" with a revised butterfly mechanism if possible would do for me. Not a chance.

 

[scorpio187]

New watchbands? New seasonal colours for cases?

New orgasms?

 

[The Mercurian]

Oh sweet the keynote is today! I thought it was tomorrow..... one less day of waiting

 

[netmaskit]
