They showed the iPhone 4 in june, there is a chance but it's not likely. I'm almost certain they'll show off the iWatch though and maybe even the new iPhones just so they can show their healthbook application properly.
No, I don't think so.
Highly doubtful that they will.
Never. It is more valuable to them for you to be using the latest OS, than it is to have fewer people pay to upgrade to a new OS. Just like the way they treat iOS.
Any rumors of what the rMBP upgrades would be? I'm guessing "Touch ID" will be a new addition.

There wouldn't be anything notable about any new MBPs. A small CPU frequency increase at best, until Broadwell hits this fall.
The wait for this event isn't long at all when you're taking classes. Time just goes back.
I see. You'll all pay for this...

How quick is Apple at adopting a new intel CPU? Any chance they'd have a Broadwell model within 2014?

There won't be any iWatch or Apple TV at WWDC.

In some kind of Mac product? Guaranteed. In a MacBook of some sort? Almost certainly.
Would love Siri to finally be brought to the Mac. I've wanted something like Apple's early 90's Knowledge Navigator concept video for so damn long:

Quoting it just to reinforce the idea.
Intel's timeline is fucked this year. Intel came out and said their successor for laptops wouldn't be out til Q4 this year. ;(

I wish. That would be really nice. No more typing my password. But only if they open it up to Keychain access so I can use it anywhere. Not just App Store and login.
They bumped the speccs up like a month ago. So I don't think so.

I really hope this never happens. Unless there is 100% compatibility with Intel and no performance hit for virtual machines I don't want another architecture switch. Before Intel, running Windows on a Mac was a pain in the ass. Slow as molasses. Now it's pretty much 1:1 speed. Intel is fine. Why do we need to switch again? Is Intel really doing that badly for Apple? It took a horrible fumble from IBM and Motorola under delivering on their PPC processors to finally make Apple say "Okay. Flip the switch." I am hoping this silly ARM rumor is just their backup plan like Intel was in the chance Intel screws up. Remember, there were rumors of Intel switching for years, but no one believed it would ever happen because, come on, it was so out there!..and transition to ARM announcement
Someone want to point out what benefits ARM would have over Intel?
The way I see it, back when the decision was made to switch to Intel, performance per watt was a big factor, as was the ability to put the power of a G5 inside a smaller form-factor.
Now that Apple is even more keen on smaller form factors and power savings, I could see it happening within the next 5 years.
As nice as virtual machine performance and boot camp are, Apple don't care about that market anymore.

I'm sure a lot of people would have a problem with that. Especially since the ability to own your Mac and still run Windows is a big factor in quite a few people switching over in the first place.
Passive cooling, tiny architecture, extreme battery life etc etc

Please update Macbook Pro. They are 8 Months past their last one. Perhaps GeForce GTX 850M dedicated graphics and higher Haswell clock rate?

Just purchased a 27" iMac a month ago should I return it? I had a feeling a refresh was happening when best buy started running a sale on all there iMacs.

it will be a minor spec bump if anything
and if its retina you'd be doing yourself a favor in avoiding it, first gen retinas are usually a little unstable

8 months is nothing. Updates are yearly now with occasional 6-month micro-bumps on certain machines. Don't expect anything until November.

What about the iPhone 6? Chances it comes out in the summer?

I wish Apple would return to their summer release schedule for the iPhone. It seems like they are more focused on dumping their key products in the fall/winter now.
Besides, if the new iPhone did come out next month, we would have already been beta testing iOS 8 since April.
iPhone rumors have been ramping up lately. It could, if only to make room for iPad in the fall.
I wouldn't mind a bit of flatness but I hope it's not as extreme as iOS.

Dammit.
I come back to the states in July.
Don't want to have to wait two months for a new phone.

After using iOS 7 for almost a year now, OS X is beginning to look a little archaic to me. Going flat would mean Apple could return to the 1:1 design they had between operating systems, a la iOS 6 and Mountain Lion.

Kind of early for an OT
If it's current spec iMacs at a cheaper price that's fine, but I'll be disappointed if they're weaker. Will probably wait til next year or go PC.
This. Plus native support for iOS apps. And a unified developer environment.
My best guess is that Apple may be partially using the threat of switching to ARM to keep the pressure on Intel for quicker and better processor updates.
