I don’t keep as close a tab on Apple as you do... but I do keep tabs. There’s nothing new yet.

Here's the menu caption on the Apple Store page I just captured... perhaps they have accidentally posted it in anticipation of a release next week's WWDC and announcements then? There are new prices. . . and everyone is anticipating Kady Lake processors.

I can assure you that was not there just five days ago when I bought a new MacBook Pro for my girlfriend’s Godson who has just graduated from high school and is heading to college. I was checking current pricing because Apple’s retail partners were closing out their current ones last week. We got that one for $250 off the original price. . . better than the $100 off Apple offers for educational discount.. . they only offer that kind of discount on current models when a new model is imminent. The sale was limhe ited to stock on hand at each store and no mail orders were permitted. An hour after the email ad came out, there was only one left in the Sacramento Area and that was the upgraded version. We grabbed it. The next closest store with any in stock was in San Francisco. and they had only two left.

Although the Apple Store page has said "New" in regards to the MacBook Pro for a while, I noticed no changes until today. The model offerings are indeed updated from those earlier in the week. Low-end 15-inch with 512GB SSD has the 2.7GHz processor boost to 3.6 at $2799, high-end is 2.9GHz processor boost to 3.8 at $2999. Different than earlier in the week. Based on what I ordered a couple weeks ago, I thought I was getting a 2.7GHz. But they shipped me a 2.9GHz model at the lower price point. Nice! So you're right, newer models now offered although the web site was slow to post the newer offerings.
