With this year’s release of the GTX 1070 and 1080, NVIDIA seems to be unstoppable on the front of desktop GPUs, as well as in the “desktop replacement” category of high-end laptops, with one notable exception:

The upgrade cycle of the Mac Mini used to be fairly regular from its first induction to consumers in 2005, up until 2012, when this tiny set-top-box sized desktop Mac suddenly turned into the red-headed stepchild of Apple, with upgrades occurring far more sparingly, the last of which, introduced in 2014.

According to a recent photo allegedly sent to Cult of Mac, there appears to be evidence of the claims that the next generation MacBook Pro will indeed sport an OLED touch bar, which will replace the top row of the keyboard.

While it’s fun to speculate on future Apple products, however likely they might be, let’s take a look at a few realistic reasons why there is a reasonable chance we might see the above products during this year’s WWDC, or at the very least, within a short term thereafter.
