I may be misremembering, but I believe during the G4 era either a retailer or AMD/Nvidia gave Apple a spoiler a few days before product launch.
Got a tip for us?

What to Expect at WWDC 2022: iOS 16, macOS 13, watchOS 9 and Possibly New Macs

I can't remember that one, but from recent history, retailers may accidentally ship an Apple embargoed product early to lucky customers. But they've never pre-empted Apple's own product announcement with a SKU listing based on real info.
I'm keeping my expectations low so I'll only be modestly disappointed. I would love to see Apple update those remaining Intel SKUs (e.g. Mac Pro, Mac Mini) that haven't been nuked outright (e.g. big iMac ⚰️). An update of the 'Air' has potential, but... well.. yeah. We will see.
Remember when Jeff Bezos started ‘presenting’ new Kindles and other Amazon stuff? That’s how boring Apple keynotes feel to me since Steve is gone. I wish Forstall hadn’t left (hadn’t been made to leave).
Now Apple keynotes are acting rather than presenting.
What possible "new features" could we need in a desktop OS? I update my Mac OS about every 6 years, and there's never anything useful, just the look of the dock that keeps changing. Oh, and the new install reverts most of my logical settings back to Apple's non-intuitive defaults, such as what they call "natural" scrolling, which is anything but. Annual updates are useless.
At this point, why even buy the regular iPhone 14? Same chip, no pillhole design, no AOD, but hey at least we have different colors this year.
Edit: Maybe I was over exaggerating but based on these rumors, its not worth it to upgrade to the 14 from the regular 13.

Revisiting the MacPro rumors
The CAD drawing in the posting on the right side shows what appears to be 2 M1 Ultras connected together
- We do know that it is coming, though. Apple's Ternus confirmed as much during the Apple Peek Performance event, though he did not give a time frame for a release beyond "another day." Will that day be Monday, June 6, 2022?
- There was this rumor from March on twitter about it using two M1 Ultra connected together

Do people still recall that some rumours suggested possible Intel-based Mac Pro updates (Ice Lake) this year?
Lots of disappointment, lots of “maybe next year” posts in 10 hours.
iOS 16 sucks, there, I said it first.

I actually like the recorded format , feels like a more polished viewing experience , those developers going on stage and trying to showcase their games or whatever was always clunky and I never enjoyed it , sure Live has its upside such as audience and real reactions , but the pre recorded format has its upside too , no dead time in between segments , no waste of time with fillers , straight to the point , all the M1/M1Max reveals were fun to watch this way !
I hope that Apple allows iPad users to stop muting audio for other apps when a website wants to play it. Nothing more annoying that listening to my music and heading over to CNN.com having the song stop because of their stupid autoplay.
Also, here's hoping for a USB-C iPhone 14!

Sean, it’s been reported over again Apple is holding this event in person. Even workshops are all in person. (But with limited capacity from my understanding.)
I hope it’s mainly Craig as the presenter he’s so charismatic I could listen to him read the telephone directory 😝
Tim , Phil and Craig , and please no Eddie cue or that Jeff Williams guy

I was one of those who looked at the M1 coming to the iPad Pro with Thunderbolt and 8GBs RAM and was convinced iPadOS 15 would blow my mind. Alas, I was so wrong I self-banished myself from the site.
I’ve been wanting to go all tablet, all the time for a while now. I’m hoping I was just off by one year.
I'm expecting:
- Revolutionary new products
- Revolutionary new services
- Revolutionary new softwares
- Creating greater value for consumers
- Introduction of more privacy protections for consumers
- New technologies that blow everyones minds
- A renewed commitment to making the world a better place
- New green initiatives that help save our planet
- New health initiatives around Apple Watch that improve, protect and save lives
- Blockbuster new TV shows and Movies coming to Apple TV+
- tvOS to widen its lead in the connected devices category
- iPadOS to bolster productivity and smoothen workflows that help hasten the demise of the Mac
- Incredible new Macs for the those still clinging to the legacy platforms
- macOS improvements and refinements
- Next-gen Apple Home upgrades that will reshape how you approach life in your home
- Safari to feel more snappy and responsive
- A new Apple subscription service that will change everything.... again!

Me too ... I went 12.9 M1 with 16GB/1TB and am hoping the power is realised with this release. If it doesn't happen with 16, I doubt it ever will.
A skeptical mind is a healthy mind, but Apple always delivers for those of us who love being part of this family of products and services.
Looking at the wording on the invitation, it‘s not entirely clear if the limited in-person audience will be watching a recorded presentation or a live presentation that has videos interspersed throughout (as usual):
We’re hosting a special all-day experience at Apple Park on June 6 to kick off WWDC22. Gather with others in the developer community to watch the keynote and Platforms State of the Union videos alongside Apple engineers and experts, explore the all-new Developer Center, and so much more. We can’t wait to connect in person.
