Apple Suppliers Prepping New MacBooks for Next Month

[Michael Essany]

June, per tradition, has been a great month for Apple fans.

In recent years, however, bestselling Apple products like the iPad and iPhone have had their releases closer to the beginnings and ends of a year. But the "middle" of a year may not be overlooked much longer - at least not if today's report in Digitimes holds true.

"As Apple reportedly will announce its new MacBook series notebooks in June," the report reads, "the company's upstream suppliers will start raising their shipments to Apple significantly in the month with volumes expected to reach a peak in July, according to sources from the upstream supply chain."

According to Apple watchers and general industry analysts, Apple might see year-over-year growth in the range of 50% in MacBook shipments. The scuttlebutt around California this week is that Apple will formally unveil the new MacBook during the keynote of WWDC next month.

I could of sworn several versions of the iPhone were release closer to mid year, excluding the 4s.

This is cool and all, but i need a new iMac. Where's the 2012's, Apple?!

If the new MBP's are anything like what they've been saying then they'll be way nice! Retina Display, thinner design (no optical drive), usb 3, new graphics card, etc. Should be pretty cool!!

It's cause they were originally released in June at the wwdc
