It's not exactly unheard of for them to release new hardware at the WWDC.

Suppose so but i knew there was a big release of software this time so guess there wasn't time for them to do anything further.

I too am waiting for a new Macbook pro. wether it going be a secret spec bump soon or it be announce same time as iPhone in september

I really want a new MBP, but it's ridiculous that in Q2 2016 my choices are Broadwell or bust.

Edit: lol I forgot, it's not even that - it's Haswell.

If it's a refresh then September will be the best bet. If it's spec bump then it'll be a silent release.

If there's going to be a spec bump we will see it in the next few days. Otherwise, a refresh will come in September or November.

Is there another event on later this year? I ask as i was expecting a new iphone to be released

Bluecube · 14 Jun 2016 at 09:53

Wrong time of the year. It'll be announced in September.

We know it won't be a purely soft update because the parts are leaking already.

go Windows 10, the failure to update mac hardware is a discrace.

Saying that as a long term mac user! You should see the anger over WWDC in the forums.

I would rather stick with one of the current gen macbook pros than move to windows. Processors haven't exactly come on leaps and bounds in the last few years. They are releasing an updated macbook pro at some point this year as well, its just not happening over WWDC by the looks of it.

Use Apple cause I dislike Windows and its still bad for my line of work. But yeah I find it silly, Apple doesn't update hardware for years at times but the price never reflect the fact. Mac Pro is still the same price it released at, the Stupid ass monitor stayed at crazy prices for so long, it was basically the same price as a 5k panel from Dell now.

No need for past tense - that 2011 2k monitor still is priced at the level of 5k panel.

Of course I agree that the display is overpriced but the comparison is slightly blurred by the fact it does essentially have a Thunderbolt hub built into it (albeit a fairly low spec one - 1Gbit ethernet/FireWire 800, USB 2 ports).
