An analyst has added his voice in support of two unconfirmed reports Monday that Apple will announce March 24 a Mac Pro, Mac mini and iMac update.
“This would be consistent with our view that new desktops (and generally new products in the future) are likely to be launched at Apple-held events rather than trade shows,” UBS analyst Maynard Um told clients.
Um went on to predict Apple by summer will introduce a 32GB iPhone 3G as well as a 4GB model.
The news comes as a research firm announced a “recent uptick” in iPhone 3G production buoyed by Apple advertising and moves by carriers to attract more subscribers.
