It has been quite a while since Apple’s latest MacBook Pro, and an update can be expected very soon. Here are some more possible updates for this particular device:
- Since Apple’s negotiations with AT&T have been going smoothly for the iPad, why not include some 3G on the new MBP as well?
- Intel has almost promised the i5 to be used in Apple’s next models (although unlikely, the i7 would be absolutely awesome)
- Possible LED back-light.
- More space and cheaper Solid State Capacity (although probably still too expensive for most people).
- The new graphic card switching function I mentioned in a previous post. This would also make the battery more efficient.
- Possible nVidia Optimus Graphic card setup.
- Possible late March Release!

MacBook Pro – it has been 66 days since the MBPs last update and the rumor mill has been turning quickly. Apple’s new version of the MBP should have any number of updates among these being the intel i5 or i7 processor and an updated “graphic processor transitioning device”. This new transitioning device is rumored to switch between the graphics cards seamlessly as to maximize battery power in the upper level MBPs.
MacBook Air – Only 11 days since the last update so “maybe”. I have not read much about any anticipated changes so my guess is as good as yours.
MacPro - it has been 336 days since the last update. With an average of 236 days between updates we can expect a release very soon. The biggest change is a suspected update to Intel 6-core Xeon Gulftown processors.
Because all these laptops are due for an update I can definitely see Apple revamping the whole lineup (excluding the new macbook of course). We’ll hopefully see very very soon.
iPhone - Long time here as well; its been almost 100 hundred days over the average. Expect a new iPhone to enter the market as well. Apple has patented some very interesting ideas lately that relate to the users swiping their finger over the camera to control music playback and such. . . interesting. Expect something cool!

The 2009 Macworld is nearing. Every year Apple presents its new stuff at this keynote. So here are the rumors floating around about this year’s event:
- Steve Jobs was supposedly very ill and was reported to “not make it to this coming spring” – another failed Steve Jobs death rumor. This was supposedly the reason he will not give the presentation this year. Which is too bad because him giving the keynotes has been a tradition.
- iLife and iWork ’09 – a given.
- Mac Mini – just rumors telling that they will have new sleek design.
- Some nice new Cinema Displays with dual monitor support.
- IF the tablet iPod does exist (which I doubt) it wouldn’t rear its head quit yet.
- Sorry, but Snow Leopard will most likely not show up yet either. Its still aways off.
All this isn’t to exciting, but I think this year will bring us some interesting new releases latter on.
keep waiting.
