Major updates to Mac Pro and Macbook/Air/Pro lineups imminent
As Rumors has previously reported, a new generation of 32-nanometer Intel chips (Arrandale for mobile, Gulftown/Westmere-EP on the desktop) are ready for Apple to build several new Macs around. Several factors have kept Apple from being the first to adopt these chips, but sources now report that the time for their announcement is approaching.

From time to time, we select a few reader questions to answer as best we can, and today's comes from Kyle: "On your site, you often mention prototypes of Apple devices.

Apple reportedly in talks with Verizon, Sprint over 2010 iPhones & 4G
Although short on details, several published reports appear to confirm what Rumors has been reporting for some time now: that Apple and Verizon, who originally rejected a partnership with Infinite Loop on the original iPhone in what is widely considered one of the cellular provider's biggest mistakes of all time, are in talks to deliver fourth-generation (2010) iDevices for Verizon's customers. Although not mentioned elsewhere, Rumors' sources also report that this could have implications for an Apple-Sprint relationship, as well.

Apple announces $1.33/share Q2 profit, shatters Wall Street estimates
The grapevine widely predicted that Apple, Inc. (AAPL)'s second quarter financials would "beat the Street" -- but even some of the more optimistic predictors, Rumors included, were hesitant to suggest numbers quite as enthusiastic as they believed were possible. We need not have been so conservative; sales in every area were ahead of expectations and even insiders (more than a few) have been pleasantly surprised by the performance of Mac and non-Touch iPod sales as these sectors weather a near-perfect storm in the marketplace.

OS X 10.5.7 nearing beta phase; supports new macs, bug fixes
Despite somewhat less hands-on time that we usually like to have in our first sneak-peeks of developmental Apple software -- particularly system updates -- we are taking a look under the hood of Mac OS X 10.5.7 which is fast approaching the 'beta' phase when it will be seeded to third-party developers for testing & feedback. Interestingly, our examinations turned up not just software dirt, but hints of what's to come for the iMac, Mac Pro & even Macbook Air.
