Images of 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro Surface Ahead of iPad Mini and iOS 6 Event
While not exactly our forte at JailbreakingiOS6, we figured some of our jailbreak and Apple enthusiast readers would find coverage on the rumored 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro interesting. Earlier this week, a poster from the WeiPhone forum created a thread dedicated to the smaller Retina MacBook Pro. More recently, the poster updated their forum thread with additional images that highlight the ports, battery design and other various internal components.
Although the photos are mostly small and are of fairly poor quality, it’s apparent that the poster has managed to obtain some version of the unreleased 13-inch Retina display MacBook Pro ahead of the device’s unveiling. Also, a few photos comparing the new Retina model against the standard 13-inch MacBook Pro were added to the initial post.
Retina 13-inch MacBook Pro and iPad Mini iOS 6 (6.0) event
The port layout appears to be identical to that of the bigger 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro model, which was released nearly 6 months ago in June. As revealed in the below image, the left of the alleged 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro features MagSafe 2, USB 3.0 and two Thunderbolt ports, whereas the right side offers an SD card slot, another USB 3.0 port and a new HDMI port.
Additionally, the poster also included images of the logic board, an 8GB RAM configuration from Elpida, numerous internal components and a screenshot of the display options inside Windows 7 with a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600.
Moreover, while offering a nearly identical layout as the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro, there’s no confusing this laptop with its bigger counterpart. To conserve on space, Apple appears to have repositioned the speakers, as they’re not near the edge of the MacBook Pro. Furthermore, it appears that the MagSafe 2 port is colored blue, while the official reason for this is unknown, it’s likely that this is a pre-release version of the forthcoming 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro.
The new laptop will likely be unveiled next Tuesday, October 23rd, at Apple’s second fall media event. Of course, Apple is also expected to announce the highly-rumored iPad Mini, which will undoubtedly run some form of iOS 6 (possibly 6.0.1 or 6.1), during next week’s press conference.

Yeah but, they most likely release iOS 6.1 a non major update with some important features, to make iOS 6 cooler, instead of just bug fixes which would be iOS 6.0.1
Either is possibly, seeing as Apple isn’t updating iOS as frequently as they used to.
