Next-Gen iMacs and More Coming Tuesday, New iPod Mid-September.


*the picture above is not real*

Someone close to the Infinite Loop Mothership just sent us a tip on what to expect at the Apple event this Tuesday: according to him/her/it, Steve Jobs will announce newly-designed iMacs -as expected- but apparently there will be a lot more. After the jump.

. New Macbooks: no cosmetic changes, will be getting Santa Rosa chips.
. Mac mini: total form change, all brushed aluminum and 15% smaller. Base model will have a 120GB HDD.
. The iMacs will be, as rumored, brushed aluminum.

And as a bonus, "the new iPods will be rolling around mid-September." Well, the next-gen iPods are far away, but we only have to wait two more days to know about the rest of the new hardware and see if the Close Source is right or not.

So how close is this source? Let's say... about 8.9 miles close. My gut feeling knowing who the Close Source is? I think that's pretty much what is going to happen. And it's quite logical too.

All I can say is, a MacGeek can dream.
I hope the day I dream for ultra portable mac will end soon.

new ipod? not again......

Really hope they would beef up the Mac Mini, which has lagged behind all other products in the line. I don't think it needs to get any smaller - perhaps slimmer (taking in Apple TV's form factor).

Interesting to see how they will change the iMac, since the current design is already elegant and classy.

what do you mean, again? the iPod has been unchanged since Sept 2006... nearly one year already. the schedule for iPod is for it to change every 12 - 11 months once

Hrmm..no iLife announcement? I was looking forward to that.

Updated: The source is rotten. Googling the tipster's email shows him to be a fraud. This story is being 100% retracted.

so fast one ah??? anyway , i m happy with ipod nano.....ipod....next time ba..

It's a Mac event......dont think there will be any iPods introduced.....maybe in anotther event.......but SJ might do a "One more thing..."

anyway, just a little update, .Mac is scheduled for maintenance.....maybe there will be some changes to .Mac...

My Predictions
NOTE:THIS IS MY PREDICTIONS, DON'T TAKE IT TOO SERIOUSLY...HEHE
1. New iMacs
2. .Mac changes
3. MBP and MB updated to Santa Rosa chips and procs
4. Mac Mini phased out, will introduce a replacement called Mac Micro..

Ok, I had fun predicting......will be watching live bloggings tonight...hehe....

I thought they just updated the macbook and macbook pro? Hmmm.

what time is the live blogging thing? i mean, malaysian time

wow! Cant wait for it. i i heard about it in slashgear forums before.

they updated the mac mini

apple store is back....can check out the latest mac mini spec

1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1GB memory
80GB hard drive1
combo drive

$599


2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1GB memory
120GB hard drive
superdrive

$799

long live mac mini

if d price is still 4799 for the 20inch,wouldnt it b a bargain?

i believe 4799 is for the low end model

RM4799 for the 20" iMac?! Er.... isn't it a little bit too early to start dreaming?!

I don't need a PC so if i've got RM4799 to fork out, I'll get a nice LCD/Plasma TV instead

I think this update doesn't have enough "Boom"s...
