Why didn't Apple update it's 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina line up?

I plan to buy a new MacBook Pro Retina to replace my MacBook Air, I've been waiting for months to see if Apple update it's 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina line up, but on Spring Forward Apple did not update it, does any body know why and when will apple update it's line up? Also I will do a lot of coding and video editing with my new MacBook Pro, which model should I take, or what will suit me the best, the 13inch Retina MacBook Pro or the 15 inch Retina MacBook Pro?
Thank you guys for your answer, and sorry for my bad English.

Intel hasn't released the Quad Core Broadwell chips yet, Intel recently announced mid 2015 for these chips.

Why does safari not update to 5.1 on macbook pro when running lion 10.7.1

my macmini is running lion server and safari 5.1. my iMac is running lion and safari 5.1. my macbook pro is running lion and safari 4.0.4 and update is stating that there are no updates available.
how does one force an update to safari 5.1 for lion in this situation?

my macbook pro is running lion and safari 4.0.4 and update is stating that there are no updates available.
Did you move or copy the Safari application? It should be in the Applications folder at the top level of your startup volume.
There is no downloadable installer for the Lion version of Safari.

Why doesn't my desktop picture stay on my Macbook Pro Retina Display?

I select my desktop picture, and it puts it as it. But once I shut my computer off and turn it back on, it's back to the Lion desktop picture. But when I go into the system preferences, it says that my picture is the one that I selected before. I don't get it, can someone help? Are any of you having the same problem?

Try right clicking the picture and say Set as Desktop Background.

Macbook Pro Retina display says "No batteries available" after legitimate system software update

Issue Description
On July 26, 2012 I placed an order with Apple store for the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display with the following configuration (Order # W269108641 Serial# C02J52S9DKQ5):
Processor 2.6GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Memory 16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM, Flash Storage 512GB Flash Storage
It was delivered August 8, 2012. It cost me $3,265.16
I have since equipped it with accessories like a wireless apple keyboard ($69), wireless mouse ($69), USB super drive ($79), VGA display adapter ($29), Ethernet Adapter ($29) and the excellent sleeve/pouch from Pack & Smooch GmbH (GBP60))
It's so heavily configured because it’s my main workstation. I additionally bought and installed Parallels 8 so I can run Windows 8 in a Virtual Machine because I have a few things on Windows that I need to be productive. This setup has been a dream machine until a little over a week ago.
In the one year since I bought it, I have had only 2 issues;
• A case of display flickering that resulted after a system software update on August 28, 2013
(Case ID 498560320 - not much help came from Apple Support but fortunately the problem went away a week later after another system software update)
• A case of battery failure that resulted after a system software update on October 11, 2013
(Case ID 516534003 - I have gone through all recommendations from Apple support as I will detail below)
Symptoms after system software update
• Battery Icon on status bar disabled with a message "No batteries available"
• Battery not charging
• LED on the Magsafe power adapter no longer show
• Keyboard backlights no longer show
• Notebook fan loud/noisy and permanently at high speed
• Date and time reset to a date in the past at each restart
• Notebook starts up the moment the Magsafe adapter is connected without waiting for power button to be pressed
• An update for "MacBook Pro Retina Display SMC Update 1.2" keeps appearing in Software Update
Recommendations from Apple Support
• Perform SMC Reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964)
(Done - no change in status)
• Run Disk Utility
(Done - no errors found)
• Run Apple Hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
(Done - no errors found, no change in status)
• Visit Apple Store
(Done - they confirmed no issue with Magsafe adapter. For a fee they are happy to change the battery if confirmed faulty and re-install the OS if the battery is not the issue but am uncertain that the OS re-install will resolve the issue because I have read online about a similar case where a re-install did not resolve the issue)
• Check System Report/Hardware/Power
(Done - Health Information/Cycle count:0, Battery installed: No)
• Perform NVRAM Reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US)
(Done - no change in status)
Comments and additional Observations
Please note the following;
• All of the symptoms above appeared after a system software update on October 11, 2013
• This update first appeared on October 10, 2013 but I was too busy to apply it especially because it required a system restart
• The battery was fully charged when I decided to apply the update on October 11 morning after I got to work
• Normally on full charge, the battery will typically deliver 3 - 4 hours depending on usage and up to 6 hours when idle
• The said update was not interrupted or anything of the sort
• On the day the symptoms were first observed when I first logged the case with apple, the system ran on battery while it performed the Apple Hardware Test while I was driving to the Apple support store on my way home even though the status bar was indicating "No battery available"
I make the following deductions solely based on my observations
• An apple authorized system software update broke the system
• The nature of the failure is communication related - the battery charging circuit and related systems are not getting the necessary instructions to function as they should (It's a known fact that rechargeable batteries do NOT die instantaneously, the total hours they run on full charge will gradually reduce over time as they degrade on use)
• It’s possible the update is not being applied correctly because the item “MacBook Pro Retina Display SMC Update 1.2” is still in Software update after subsequent attempts to apply it
• The high fan speed is nothing to do with high temperature or high processor load, according to the Activity Monitor utility the highest CPU utilization 1.9 – 4.7% is by kernel_task (PID 0) followed by activitymonitord at 1.8 – 2.2% (PID 481)
• The symptoms match what an SMC reset should resolve according to Apple documentation
• This is a known problem within Apple based on the documentation provided and the numerous similar cases reported online
Summary;
The system is running OS X 10.8.5
I have provided this detailed documentation in the hope that someone who understands this system can say exactly what is going on. It's meant to be a dream machine but now you can hear the fan from across a large room, the battery doesn't charge and is in fact not recognized so I lose data if the Magsafe adapter gets unplugged, and I have to reset the system date each time I restart the notebook.
I've used this notebook with utmost care for a little more than a year, this investment of over $3,500 could have bought 3 high end notebooks from DELL or HP but I chose Apple.
I have suffered untold loss in productivity in the last 10 days since this issue occurred, I respectfully request Apple to fix my notebook.

HT5887 Why can't I Airdrop between my iPad Mini and my MacBook Pro Retina?

I recently bought a 13 inch MacBook Pro Retina. Turned on airdrop to link with my iPad Mini (1st version) running iOS 7.0.4. They do not recognize each other. Why does NOT all Apple devices work seamlessly with one another???!!! I have an iPhone 4 that cannot Airdrop with my iPad Mini, and now I have a MacBook Pro Retina that does not Airdrop with any of my Apple devices! That is SO frustrating! Has anyone else experienced this INCOMPATIBILITY between Apple devices?

i have the same issue with my macbook air and now my ipad 4th gen and my iphone 5. nothing connects to nothing. dont see this problem with android....wondering if im doing something wrong

A new update is out for Macbook pro retina but my laptop says no updates available??

Please advise as to how I can get the new update for wifi on my Macbook Pro Retina 13". My laptop says I'm up to date and no updates are available but I did not get this new update that was released just a few days ago? Please advise????

Before applying any update, backup your data at least twice:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
Next check if you can download the update from http://support.apple.com/downloads/?val=MacBook+Pro#?val=macbook pro. If it isn't there, then it probably doesn't apply to your machine. Double check with the local authorized service center that it is necessary.

Why does every Apple update require a restart?

I vaguely remember a time when OS updates didn't require a complete restart every time you installed one. Why is it the case now? I have had 3 updates in the last 3 days and 3 restarts. The last one was updates to Quicktime, iLife Media browser and iDVD. None of which I would consider a critical components. OK Quicktime might have something in it but I doubt it.
UNIX is a great because of it modularity and the ability to update components without shutting everything else down. That's what makes it a great server platform. Yes I know occasionally the kernel and other core components need patching and in those cases a restart is required but why oh why does every Apple update of late require a restart?
Whomever answers (preferably from Apple) please be as technical as you like. I would much rather a real answer than bull.

Well, you dont have to believe it but that's what's happening. Many updates don't modify critical system files, but those that do will require a restart. Not all updates to QuickTime, for instance, have modified critical system files, so they've not required a restart. However, the latest version does do this, so the restart is required.
Likewise with iLife, the media browser is a core utility that is shared by the system and many applications and it's installation will require a restart. There are other similar shared resources as well which can get updated from time to time.

Why won't Apple update its iPAD to send messages other than imessages?

Why won't Apple update its iPAD to send messages to phones with systems other and OS? I just purchased an ipad4 for my husband. This limitation is very frustrating. When I purchased and ipad3, I was told how to make the message go through as an SMS; however, this never worked. Had it not been for the fact that my husband has an iphone5 and getting an ipad with the same operating sytem simplifies things for him, it may have been better to get an Android tablet and switch phones!

I understand that, but it does have a message system, so it makes sense that you should be able to receive ALL messages via this system. I do have a phone and I can get them all, but if I sit down at the ipad to check messages, I only get those sent through imessage. Sorry, I'm venting and you probably can't do anything about it. Apple needs to wake up and figure out that if it doesn't change its protocol on the ipad, then people will switch to another system that does. Hoping that someone from Apple sees this.

Why didn't apple make message like iRealsms app?

why didn't apple make message like iRealsms app?

Apple will not & never has/does respond to questions like yours, so don't waste your time using the Feedback form to ask.
However, if you have a suggestion, you can use that form to make your suggestion. However, Apple will not respond.

Why didn't apple cal the new Ipad the iPad 3???

Why didn't apple cal the new Ipad the iPad 3???

Apple has not explained why, so nobody here could tell you for sure. Perhaps to keep it in line with naming polices for computers (all iMacs are iMacs, all MacBook Airs are MacBook Airs) rather than the iPhone.

Why Apple did not update Macbook pro retina spec for early 2014?

Why Apple did not update Macbook pro retina spec for early 2014? I really want to buy new macbook pro retina.
Very disappointing. I cannot wait. I will buy windows laptop because out of patient.

Does the October 2013 model not meet your needs? What advances would you expect or see in a 2014 model?
