These reports line up with a report that came from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said that the MacBook Air update is expected at WWDC would ship soon after the event ends. He also reported that the new Retina MacBook Pro would ship later due to production hiccups on the advance display screens.
MacRumors website reports that they have received specific pricing that corresponds to Apple's current generation MacBook Air models. Writing:
Today, we have received specific pricing for the aforementioned SKUs, and the price-points correspond to Apple's current pricing for the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air models. We have yet to receive pricing information that points to the imminent availability of new MacBook Pros (as some had hoped), but perhaps the next refresh to Apple's Pro portables will arrive in the coming months. Supply constraints to the Retina MacBook Pro line seems to infer that...
9to5Mac also reports that they received pricing for new accessories that could be new AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule models. If the source and credible and the information the site received is true this could be the new 802.11ac-wireless standard.
