Sketchy MacBook Pro box image posted on Weibo following Apple event announcement

A claimed image of a new MacBook Pro box has been posted to Chinese social media, following the announcement of an upcoming Mac-focused Apple event

We’re definitely chalking this one up as sketchy. The wallpaper shown looks too crude and, well, boring.

Contrast this with the wallpaper used for the 15-inch MacBook Air launched back in June:

It also seems awfully convenient that the box just happened to leak immediately after confirmation of a Mac event.

Apple making an event official does likely mean that more people are brought into the know, but my money would be against this one.
