Nothing new at Apple Paris Expo?
Hi everyone,
Outside of the faint murmurings of a ultra thin MacBook and a possible Leopard release date, what is there? Let's see — we've got new iPods, new iMacs, and an iPhone price drop. MacBooks were updated in mid-May, MacBook Pros in early June. It appears as though those won't be updated until January. That leaves the Apple TV, the Mac Pro, and Cinema Displays. Is Steve Jobs even keynoting the Paris Expo?

MacPro might come around November or later because that's when Intel is releasing the new chips.
AppleTV could come at Paris, but I think will come alongside the ultraportable at MWSF.
Sure Macbooks and Macbook pro could get a quiet Tuesday update.
That is my predictions for the rest of the year. We'll see.
the only thing I see at Paris is the European launch of iPhone.

the mac pro can still get better video cards / more base ram before the new chip set comes out.
xMAC may also come.
Mac Pro - CPU Upgrade
Macbook - Santa Rosa
MacBook Pro - CPU upgrades, memory upgrades
iPhone - Euro launch
ummm... how about a leopard release date?
MId to Late October.
ummm... how about a leopard release date?
so many things happening with Apple, completely forgot that Cat!
are we not seeing leopard in iPhone and iPod touch?
or is jobs gonna do another $100 voucher for all the people buying new hardware in september that are super pissed in october when they have to shell out another $129!
wouldn't this warrant an announcement of the exact date?
Aluminum & black Macbooks.
Yeah, now they've made anodised aluminium ipods in black and white with the new ipod classic, I think it would make sense to do this for the Macbooks. No more complaints about discoloration.
I still think they need to merge the two lineups though and just call them all Macbooks and offer every size in black, white or silver. This way people choose the machine by display size (13", 15", 17") and then once you have chosen the size you want, you pick the CPU, graphics, glossy/matte, Ram etc.

I purchased a new MBP two months ago because the new ones weren't going to be released by the time I went to college. Can I get in on this rebate deal as well?
iPhone European launch announcement.
Leopard final release date announcement.
Aluminium and black MacBooks - Very slightly smaller than the current MacBook, and with few other changes except a speed bump and perhaps the addition of a FireWire 800 port if Apple are serious about promoting this standard.
Wishful thinking: An 11" widescreen subnotebook with optical drive (I want one!)
It's pretty likely that the MacBook will get a refresh at the Paris Expo solely because the iPhone and Leopard announcements are of significant importance but have both been comprehensively dealt with/demoed in the past, therefore the related European announcements will be relatively brief by their very nature even if various bosses of mobile phone networks are invited to give speeches. Therefore a revamped MacBook will be something else to fill a bit more time as well as providing something of interest on the Mac hardware side for those all-important press shots.

i doubt after 2 months. the expo is on the 25th, and i won't be getting my macbook pro till around then, so if they gave me the old one, they'd better give me a rebate and get the new one!!!. But i doubt you'd get a replacement.

I was uh, joking. I hope you are.
If Paris Expo 2007 is on September 25-29, then what is this... "Mum is no longer the word" on September 18th?

i'm not joking. if i get the thing and a few days later a new one comes out, i should be able to get the new one in exchange for my old one.
