The article linked here doesn't name any sources, just vague "people familiar withs" and "inside sources."
- pfranz 10y agoI think that's expected when the gap between releases was about twice what previous updates have been[1]. Even if people are underwhelmed with some of the decisions there is pent up demand. People that pay attention have been waiting two years for this update "any minute now."

- intopieces 10y agoThere is pent up demand among the loyalist the Apple alienated? Sounds like an excellent position to be in. Apple ought to alienate them some more, it seems tk be working well for them.
- pfranz 10y agoOh, come on. Apple outsold competing laptops five days after release. They should release new laptops every five days! The 9to5mac article (and the cnet article it references) uses a chart from Slice Intelligence...which looks like it gathers information from its coupon and package tracking app (which I've never heard of).
