When Apple news is thin, you do what you can. Some sites divide what little rumor and hearsay there is into tiny portions and dole them out like communion wafers to the Apple faithful. Maybe that’s overstating a bit. On reflection, no — no, it’s not. In this case, we had a little speculation last night that maybe the long-dormant iMacs would be getting a refresh within the next month. And in the morning, what is this? New theories that perhaps Apple’s other neglected hardware would be receiving a bump? Inconceivable!

…we could see a lower priced line soon, positioned below the new MacBook Pro models…
That pretty much sews it up, don’t it. Essentially the news is “Something might happen sometime soon. Maybe not.” You heard it here first.
