New things are afoot for Apple this week, here are my predictions based upon the buzz out there:
Prediction: Lion (finally) launches (this week for $29.99) According to Apple, "Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor to run Lion. Find out if your current Mac has one of these processors by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, then choosing About This Mac."
Prediction: New MacBook Airs announced with Lion. AllThingsD says to “look for an announcement Thursday or Friday and that the new MacBook Airs will sport a Thunderbolt port, backlit keyboards, and 128GB and 256GB storage options up from the previous 64GB solid state drives.” (MacRumors 7.15)
(also) “that all new 11.6- and 13.3-inch models will include 4GB of RAM as standard via Apple Insider which should continue to boost sales for this ultrabook, which sold over a million units last fall when it was introduced in October.”
Prediction: 70% chance that white Macbooks will get a refresh likely with Thunderbolt ports and faster processors according to 9to5 Mac
Prediction: look for new Mac Mini’s next week
Prediction: updated Thunderbolt-capable LED Cinema Display monitor. From Apple, “Thunderbolt is a revolutionary I/O technology that supports high-resolution displays and high-performance data devices through a single, compact port. It sets new standards for speed, flexibility, and simplicity.”
Fall Prediction: iPhone will be 4S or something similarly named, and will be an upgrade not a major change, and not an iPhone 5 and will be announced in September, available in October. iPhone 5 to release in 2012.
Fall Guess: new iTouch and Ipod upgrades coming with iPhone 4S announcement in September.
