Meanwhile, in the conference call, Apple executives repeated referred to a "product transition" that may affect Q4 revenue numbers. Typically, "product transitions" represent existing product line revisions. In this case, the MacBook and MacBook Pro have been widely expected to be revised in the coming months with both models starting to approach the end of their lifecycles. Intel has conveniently released a new processor and chipset that could be used in the new Apple laptops.
Apple also described their formula of introducing "state of the art new products at prices their competitors can't match". They describe that these new products introduce new "technologies and features" (like the iPhone) justifying their initial higher prices. Over time, they expect to to take advantage of scale and engineering to drive prices down. Apple suggested that they would follow this formula again and are "very excited" about what they have in their new product pipeline. Rumors have suggested that Apple may introduce a 12" or 13" Mac tablet later this year (September or October). Another possibility includes rumors of a smaller PDA-like device that is 1.5x larger than the existing iPhone.
