September Event to Introduce iPod Updates and More?

Last week an analyst report speculated that Apple would hold some sort of media event this September to refresh the iPod line as well as introduce updates to both the MacBook and MacBook Pro lines.

While the report appeared to be mostly speculative, Apple has been predictably updating their iPods in September for the past couple of years. Combined with circulating rumors of iPod revisions and the end of the Back to School promo, it seems probable that late September will bring us new Apple products.

While rumors have focused on new iPod nanos, MacRumors has heard whispers that an iPod Touch update is also likely in the same timeframe.

Given the likelihood of updates, readers should be cautious about buying a new Apple notebook or iPod at this time.

I'm looking forard to this years update =D

I bought an iPod touch only a few weeks back, but I got it for 300 bucks, new (16GB, so that's ok.

I still wonder, though, what Apple would change in the touch (probably basic things, such as re moving 8GB, making 16GB cheaper, changing the back to make it look similar to the iPhone 3G).

seems early to introduce a new touch. the touch has always been the step child of the iphone. pretty much apple trying to offer the iphone to customers without who don't want a phone contract. Only thing I see happening with the touch is maybe a 64G version and... plastic case? heh

So true. No matter what any rumor predicts, Apple will only release new products when they can be sure (or as sure as possible) that a big supply chain is in place. With people STILL waiting for iPhones and the MobleMe fiasco it would be wise for Apple to look like they are back on the ball.

Why is that? The iPods get refreshed on a yearly basis and the iPhone itself got the 3G upgrade only a year after its initial release....

Anyways, I want some new news! We know all of this already....

As many of you here, I've been waiting for an upgrade to the Macbook Pro line.

Apple. Let it be a great upgrade. Quad cores and the lots prefered, but if not.. then at least increase the specs considerably. Its about time the macbook pro catches up to the PC laptops in terms of specs .
