Apple has halted new retail orders for the MacBook Pro as it prepares to release the first major update to the line in over a year, according to AppleInsider.

Here is what they've heard:

● One person noted that his/her Apple retail store's inventory manager has been prohibited from placing any new orders for MacBook Pros through the company even though the store had run out of models to sell to customers.
● Another person noted that his/her Apple retail store had similarly run out of 13- and 17-inch MacBook Pros, which has never happened at that particular store since he/she worked there.
● A third person employed at an Apple retail store noted that stock of all three sizes of MacBook Pros were dangerously low as of this weekend. The inventory manager at that store was instructed to make room for a shipment of 16 palettes of Mac merchandise on either Tuesday or Wednesday, which is 4 palettes more Mac merchandise than the store typically stocks in total.

The MacBook Pro is widely expected to see an update as early as tomorrow with SKUs for the new models already appearing online.
