Very "quiet" update. I hope this means, that Apple will have too much other stuff to show off at their October event (expected to be announced soon).

Spec bump updates rarely make waves at Apple. Part of Apple's retail strategy is avoiding the spec rat race, so it doesn't make sense for them to draw too much attention to spec updates.
Here's hoping. I've been waiting for a Retina Macbook Pro for about 8 months now.
Do you mean MacBook Air? The Pros have been retina for a while :)
MBPR refresh probably. I'm in the same boat :(
Sorry, yeah a refresh. I can't stand spending £2000+ on a laptop when the Haswells are just around the corner.
I expect it'll focus on a single product line, possibly with some updates on how the company's faring, particularly the iPhone 5s & 5c's launches.

I'd guess it'll be the iPad's turn in the spotlight, though it's possible Cupertino's decided it's time to fully launch the new Mac Pro.

(And with a zero probability: the return of the 17" MBP, much as I'd love to see that size rejoin the rest of the family - ideally with a 3840x2400 display, but the last version's 1920x1200 would be fine too)

Could there be an AppleTV update of some sort? An A7, and some sort of app store would be nice.
It's not even on one of the 5 views on the homepage! :O
Good point, sir.
