New MacBook Pro Release Date: What Not to Expect

In less than 24 hours we should know everything there is to know about the new MacBook Pro release date and what we can expect from these new Apple notebooks for the 2013 holiday shopping season.

It looks like the new MacBook Pro will with a collection of upgrades including enhanced graphics, longer battery life and possibly Thunderbolt 2. While consumers may long for a MacBook Pro LTE or one with Touch ID, this year we dont expect to see this options arrive.

Weve already covered what to expect on the new MacBook Pro release date, and now we want to take a closer look at what to expect from Apple as the new MacBook Pro models come to market.

The new MacBook Pro Retina late-2013 models should arrive soon.

The latest rumors also suggest the new MacBook Pro will come with a new FaceTime camera capable of taking video in 1080P, for enhanced clarity on FaceTime or Google Hangouts. The OS X Mavericks release date is still up in the air, which will likely play into the new MacBook pro release date.

Heres what not to expect from Apple when it comes to a new MacBook Pro release date in late 2013. While stores will just show them as a new MacBook Pro or MacBook Pro Retina, Apple will likely use the MacBook Pro Late-2013 name.

Release Date Later than October 29th

We expect that Apple will announce the new MacBook Pro models at the October 22nd event and could possibly release them immediately. The MacBook Air Mid-2013 release took place soon after the announcement this summer with in store and online availability almost immediately.

The new MacBook Pro release should come online and in store within days.

One scenario is the online new MacBook Pro release arrives when the Apple Store comes back online and the in store release arrives one or two days later. This is the approach Apple took with the MacBook Air this summer and would line up with some rumors about the release date timing as well as hope that OS X Mavericks will arrive fast.

Another possibility is that Apple will wait until after the Q4 20-13 earnings call on the 28th to announce the final details for OS X Mavericks, which could hold up the new MacBook Pro. In the past Apple used these events to share new OS X release details, but is seems substantially more likely that the company would use the stage time to announce it alongside new hardware and deliver OS X Mavericks before the earnings call.

Issues and Sellouts

At this point we dont expect sell outs and issues on the new MacBook Pro release date. This isnt to say the device will be flawless, just that Apple will likely be able to deliver enough stock to meet demand and that demand is not likely going to be high enough to bring down Apples website like some past iPhone launches have.
