With 9to5Mac saying the new part numbers were for updated minis and a MacBook, if that's true, it's not boding well for an Air update tomorrow.

What they said is that the 4 Mac Pro numbers were actually 3 Mac Mini and 1 MacBook Number. The MacBook Air numbers were correct.

Remember that tonight there is scheduled overnight shift for ppl who change up the stuff in the store. This was reported a while ago and that's why it's to be believed that something is being released tomorrow.

My guess is that Lion is the reason for the overnight. When I worked there, the only time we had to do overnights was when the wall graphics had to be changed, or a major rearrangement of the demo equipment. Mac hardware refreshes usually didn't get new wall graphics, although iPhone/iPad did.

Hopefully there will be refreshed Macs tomorrow too. I just don't think they necessarily need an overnight visuals crew if tomorrow was *only* refreshed Macs. :)

The overnighter is obviously for all the new Lion material to go on the walls and so forth. However, that material isn't going to come in massive pallets either. So if the OP is correct, then the pallets will contain new computers.

How does this work in the UK?

Our opening times will be 5hours ahead of NYC and 8 hours ahead of California.

Do we have to wait until Friday, how does it normally work in the UK?


That is assuming all the rumours about the 14th are correct for the airs.

You joined just to post this?

You have no credibility, if it was true it would be on the front page by now. It's not.

No more need to speculate on this rumor....

It's most likely *********.

Judging by your join date, you are new here. Many many times new members posted credible information and/or photos to unreleased Apple products.

relax, the whole point of this site is to speculate on rumors.. some of us enjoy talking about these to pass the time (and for some.. to keep sane :D) before actual release day.

They close the store for a few hours. They have done this when new iPhones have come out at 5pm on a Friday.

I can't see a reason to label lion info as not to open everyone already knows about it. Considering how small MacBook airs are these boxes could hold 20-40 easy. I still have my doubts about tomorrow think the golden release was last Friday the airs still had to have the OS installed packaged and shipped in just a few days seems like a lot of work in a short amount of time.
