Has being on GAF not taught you anything about believing what analysts say?
Yeah I don't see it.
My guess is the current 13 MBP is sticking around with the optical drive and no retina, but with a spec bump.
The question is will they also release a new form factor 13 with Retina and no ODD now alongside that, or will that come later this year or next year.
The current MBP is getting eMac/white MacBook'd IMO, odd man out for one year, two tops before disappearing.
EDIT:VVV The apple tv sdk is all Trojan horse for iTV later this year. They will have tons of apps ready by launch because of this.

That's probably bullshit because 9to5Mac hasn't reported it.

Looks like it'll output 1136x640 too.

I just wish Apple would sort iTunes out.
They need to spin-off some of its functionality in to their own apps.
Bring back iSync.

I fully expect AppleTV to get an App Store. I see the set top box and the actual television running on the same skin of iOS with the same App Store. The set top box will just be the smaller-scale option compared to the iTV like how there is iPod Touchs, iPhones, iPad's...etc.
Although this rumor better be true, I love my Apple TV but the lack of stuff like Hulu, HBO Go, etc is crazy. An actual app store should resolve that. I've been considering geting a Roku box to go alongside it but if the app store comes that won't be needed.

Apps will be local (they still sell an 8GB iPhone 4). Media will definitely be streamed.
They can't do that, the existing 8GB is used for HD video caching.
They either update the hardware, or go with a solution like I'm proposing, where the app data is cached at launch.
I view everything from BGR with even heavier skepticism than I do the rest of the rumor sites.
Remember how Sprint was going to exclusively debut a redesigned iPhone, with the 4S for everyone else? BGR reported that the *day* before the iPhone 4S reveal and with high confidence.

Yeah, new TV OS at WWDC is not happening; if it was 9to5 would've reported it.
BGR is full of shit and just looking for clicks.
They can always limit the caching then as the device decreases in available space.

So your movie experience suffers the more apps you install? No way.
1080P video needs a lot of room to cache.

Wrong thread
Yikes! Here I was thinking that I'll have all that goodness on my iPad shortly after WWDC.
Thanks.
its amazing how inaccurate to accurate 9to5 has become over the years.
Really? How much? An entire 1080p iTunes movie is about 5GB. They're not going to cache the whole thing if they don't need to.
Their accuracy has always been high, they were the first to leak the redesigned MBP in 08.
It's possible they do, actually. Off the top of my head, the reason to do so would be to avoid having to redownload such a large file if you back up to the beginning.
Caching the app will be worse than caching media data. People want apps to load instantly, like on iOS. They're used to media having to take a bit to download or stream.

Before 2008, uh no.
9 to 5 Mac put put another article summing up what they are hearing. They laid out here:
So the only retina Macs the are certain about are the two Air's and the 15 inch MBP.

Hopefully we can organize something similar to last year where people chipped in for a developer account.

How are the current Airs for gaming? The new ones should be better. Can they run Diablo 3, etc?
My 13" 2011 MBA (i5, 4gb ram 128gb ssd) can run D3 at native resolution minimum settings at between 10 and 30 FPS. It plays a large number of games just fine though.

I think it can work for a certain type of app(Like TV/video services). Large games would be a problem, sure. The benefit, of course, is that local storage becomes a non issue. You don't have to update apps, either, as you'll always cache the newest version.
Any way, just an idea. Something has to give if an SDK is coming. Carving out a few GB's of storage from the video cache isn't a solution, IMO, and new hardware isn't likely.

So, the 'leaks' suggest that there won't be a new Mini. I need that to be false. Puhleeeez.

listen to the mad man
I have a late 2011 MBA 13", but it's from work, and I'm leaving this job shortly. I can't imagine choosing any other laptop (11" too small, MBP too heavy, a non-Apple laptop LOLLLLLLLL NO), so I just hope they massively upgrade the MBA at the same pricepoint 
They won't release iOS6 to public until later this year though, right?

Nope. Or you can pay $100 to get in early.

I'm out, I think. I doubt I'm stepping down to 15". Will check them out at the store, though.

Is there any reason not to buy it from Amazon or another store like the MacMall? The prices seem better and there is no tax. Is there any downside?

Fuck the water drop
I could be mistaken since I don't have it in front of me right now, but I think the background of the "6" is a crop of the iPad 3's default lake wallpaper.

Yes, just like the iOS 5 logo is a crop of the water drops wallpaper.

Anyone have any idea what they think the New 15 Macbook Pros+Retna display will run? I want to sell my 13 Mac Pro now, but really don't want to drop 2k+ on a new 15 Macbook
Considering the current 15" model starts at $1800 I'd expect these to be in the same price range.

So what are the chances of iOS 6 adopting widgets of home page customizability? My friend is pretty much hanging on to her Android for the widgets and cosmetic options but she's more than willing to jump ship to iPhone if it provides some element of that. Plus I really do think it's time that they start shaking things up with the UI.
Are there any major rumors tilting toward that route?
