A new report from DigiTimes says Apple will updated its MacBooks at the end of the second quarter.
Apple MacBook shipments may only see single-digit growth in 2013, as related upstream component suppliers still have not yet seen any major increases in orders, according to sources from the upstream supply chain. The orders may increase slightly after Apple releases its new MacBook products at the end of the second quarter.
The report claims that high prices are pushing customers away from Apple's MacBooks and weak panel yields last year impacted shipping performance.
Ohhh....drool....that better be an upgrade with the Haswell chips! They just updated the MacBook Pro w/ Retina display, both the 13" and 15" versions, and they're officially called "Early 2013" models, too. Just the usual mid-cycle Intel upgrade by 100MHz. There won't be another Ivy Bridge update, except for the "Enthusiast" edition, which Apple does not use, for good reason.
