Apple may be prepping the launch of MacBook Pro Haswell refreshes as early as mid-October as sources have revealed that Cupertino has already initiated training session for its Apple Store staff in Mac OS X Mavericks.
OS X Mavericks just hit Golden Master status yesterday and according to sources familiar with the matter, Apple Store staff is being trained on new features, installation process, and troubleshooting options of the new operating system.
Apple first unveiled its OS X Mavericks in June at WWDC 2013 and a Golden Master release of the operating system and iMac refresh this week indicates that new MacBook Pros are not far away. The new Mac OS X features new Maps app, revamped calendar, a tabbed finder, improved Safari, support for multiple displays and iCloud Keychain.
