At what is likely to be its final media event of the year, Apple is expected to unveil a handful of updates to its Mac line, among them a redesigned MacBook Pro with an OLED touch bar and a faster iMac. Join BuzzFeed News at 10AM PT for live coverage.
"We're going to double down on secrecy on products."
Apple CEO Tim Cook said that back in 2012. Now, four years later, it might be a good time to remind the company's rank and file of that mandate. In just a few moments Apple will unveil its next generation MacBook Pro, but thanks to an embarrassing pre-event gaffe, you've probably already seen its marquee feature: an OLED touch panel with support for Touch ID, Apple's biometric fingerprint recognition tech. On Monday, a MacRumors tipster discovered an image of the unreleased MacBook Pro buried deep in macOS Sierra 10.12.1 release. And it shows not only an OLED touch panel replacing the standard top row function keys on Apple's laptops, but a human finger using a Touch ID sensor to authenticate Apple Pay.
When Apple unveiled its new AirPod wireless headphones at its September event, the company pledged to ship them by October's end. And that was still the plan as of about 2 weeks ago. But on Monday afternoon, Apple said it needs "a little more time before AirPods are ready for our customers" and wouldn't be shipping them this month. Sources close to Apple say the company had planned to announce retail availability of the bluetooth buds at today's event, but reversed course "very recently."
