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.

Reblogged this on pundit from another planet.
Agreed. MacBook Air (minor) update is plausible, but the pictures of iPad Pro are bogus.
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.
The second photo shows the Lightning port on the side of the iPad, so unless they’re going to make the iPad pro landscape by default and rotate the apple emblem it doesn’t look legit.
Maybe for a keyboard dock that needs power. That’s actually be pretty cool, then their parties could make keyboards for it. That being said, I don’t think its real
I allways use apple products but I am getting very fed up with the slow turn out of products, with all that cash in the bank they must be able to do better, either ipad pro by june or i will go to samsung.
If your looking for a company that puts out any and all technology to get to market first, then you might be better off buying Samsung. There’s a reason apple has all that money…
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.
That’s assuming the 12″ model even exists in the first place.
I love this! Hopefully it will help speed things up or contribute to a stronger battery life. My MacBook battery improved by about 2 hours using http://www.detoxmymac.org but I don’t understand why this is still such an issue. I think perhaps it’s all the aesthetics like screen resolution that are contributing to poor battery life.

How much juice can the lightning interface deliver? Enough to displace Magsafe on 65W Macs? A single charging interface across the product line might be nice.
