Apple may be prepping resellers for coming product updates as they have been quietly given subtle hints to stop orders of Mac-minis, MacBook Pros, iPods and Cinema Displays, reports MacRumors.
This may be coming in connection with the rumored Apple event set for September 9th, that may bring us more than just new iPods. Details remain unclear as this may just mean that certain retailers have been experiencing limited supply shortages, Best Buy being a perfect example as they had run short on MacBooks in late July.
While there is no doubt that Apple does have a sundry of products in need of a refresh, it may simply not be feasible to upgrade so many at the same time. We are all too aware of Apple’s recent multitasking difficulties, and would not be inclined to see something similar happen.
At this point, it would seem that if a September event is in the works, I would not expect to see much more than iPod updates, as events such as these have historically been used as a launching pad for new iPods. With all of the iPod rumors currently making rounds, the timing may indeed be more than mere coincidence.
