Something is brewing at Infinite Loop

Right now, the French Refurb Store is still open!!! That's the first time ever since the opening of this section of the Applestore... Like the previous days, there are iMacs, laptops and screens. One of our readers has received his laptop which looked brand new, appart from the box: there was no OS installed, nor any hint of it having been used before.
Without moving to the dark side of rumor spreading, it's easy to think that Apple might be using the Refurb to get rid of EOL products before a major product announcement.
In any case, the good bargains are here:
French refurb store.
and for our US readers:
US refurb store.
