A label photo posted on the Chinese forum Weiphone suggests that the 13-inch MacBook Pro will only get minor changes in its next incarnation. Specifications indicate a 2.5GHz Ivy Bridge processor with an integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000, and 4GB of RAM by default. The most notable additions are in fact Bluetooth 4.0 and USB 3.0, the latter of which would be a first for an Apple product. Apple has usually preferred to emphasize Thunderbolt, a high-speed port standard it co-developed with Intel. Conspicuously absent is a rumored Retina display. Instead, the specs mention only a regular 1280x800 screen, despite hints that Apple would announce one or more Retina-equipped Macs as soon as WWDC on June 11th. The specs in fact leave many other specs intact, including RAM, hard drive space, and the SuperDrive.
The leak is attributed only to a "friend inside Apple," making it difficult to verify. It would contradict several other reports, though conceivably Apple might simply have not had Retina hardware ready in time for a planned Mac refresh. Several Mac lines are due for updates at this stage, and Apple may place more importance on having new systems ready for the launch of OS X Mountain Lion, which will ship sometime this summer.
