This Thursday, May 19th is Apple’s 10th retail anniversary and with it may come the launch of a new (or improved) product. BGR is reporting “Apple may be planning something big” and they’ve even outlined the logistics of the operation. The question remains — what is Apple planning to launch next Monday?
A few weeks ago Apple updated the iMac line, adding second-generation Intel Sandy Bridge processors, Thunderbolt ports and new graphics cards. A month before that we saw the MacBook Pro line refreshed. Traditionally Apple holds an iPod event (Music) and iPhone event (WWDC) so we wouldn’t expect either line to be updated.
This leaves the MacBook Air, Mac Mini or Mac Pro. If we had to pick a favorite, the Mac Mini would be the most logical choice. The Core2Duo chip is in desperate need of a refresh and although the MacBook Air also uses a similar chip, the flash-based storage more than compensates. Another possibility is that Apple is unveiled an entirely new product or service. Could this be key to unlocking the mysterious server farm on the East Coast?
If BGR’s source is correct, Apple employees will begin putting up black curtains at retail stores this weekend. A mandatory meeting on Sunday, May 22nd, will lead up to Monday’s launch and you can rest assure we’ll be on hand to find out exactly what Apple has planned.
So what will it be: Mac Pro, Mac Mini, MacBook Air, or a new product or service? Let the voting begin!
Coming Soon | Apple | TBD
