Retina MacBook Pros To Be Upgraded Next Month

Planning on buying a Retina MacBook Pro? Well don't do it now, because Apple plans to update both the 13-inch and 15-inch Retina MacBook Pros with Intel's 4th generation Haswell processors and improved battery life as soon as next month. When exactly next month? We presume Apple will introduce the updated MacBooks in its September 10th event where the company will also debut the highly anticipated iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C.
