Weekend Apple rumor two-pack: refreshed MacBook Airs and unlikely iPad Pro photos


Apple news website letemsvetemapplem.eu claims that Apple has a scheduled MacBook Air update for February 24th. The site says that this Air refresh will be minor, so if it is indeed happening, the update will likely focus on processor, storage, and RAM improvements. Of course, this is not the radically new 12-inch MacBook Air with Retina display that we’ve detailed, it’s just a mid-season component refresh. The site agrees with our earlier report that says there is no media event planned for February. Apple has done a few minor MacBook Air updates over the past few years, so this would not be unprecedented…


A more unlikely rumor comes from vandaagapple.nl, which is spreading around some likely fake photos of the upcoming iPad Pro. The photos shown above don’t really match up with the previously-leaked, likely more-reliable schematics (see the sides and volume rocker), so these should be taken with a grain of salt. The iPad Pro is expected to hit production in the coming months and launch later this year with an enhanced user-interface.

2. Jeffrey Feuerstein says: This leak came from a dutch site, I’m dutch and it says the photo’s come from someone within Apple claiming to have a working prototype of the bigger iPad. I’m definitely not saying that it’s true, but it could really be a prototype which didn’t make production. However, I personally think it’s fake.

3. taoprophet420 says: Don’t see why Apple would do a refresh of both the 11 and 13″ MacBook Air unless there is a problem with the displays or battery life. The Broadwell chips are now available so I don’t see why Apple would release an incremental update unless there is production problems delaying the 12″ to the fall which I very highly doubt.
   I also don’t see Apple keeping both the 11″ and 13″ model for sale or up to date. At least one will be eliminated as soon as the 12″ is released.
