Apple breeds superior quality, crafstmanship, performance and some pretty cute commercials every once in a while. But Apple also fuels one hell of a rumor mill for product release dates.
Buzzdroid.com has decided to track the predictions of many of the MacLusters out there who have the balls enough to make and publish a prediction about the OS X Leopared release date. But first, the rules:
- The OS X Leopard release date prediction must be made on a website or blog.
- The post which makes the prediction date must have a verifiable published date. Thank you Google cache for agreeing to help us with this one.
- The prediction must be an actual date, not ‘Spring 2007′, ‘Sometime in the 4th quarter’ or any kind of BS pseudo release date. We want people out on a limb.
- The oldest published prediction date for the release date will be declared the winner in the event two entrants choose the same date for Leopard’s release.
Enter your predicted release date for OS X Leopard as a comment. Winner gets Apple geek fame.
There are two divisions, pro and amateur. The amateur division can publish predictions on this post as a comment. The pro division consists of any publication anywhere else.
The winner of the pro division gets nothing except fame and the satisfaction of knowing they came close to predicting the release date of OS X Leopard while all of their competing sites collapsed around them. The winner of the amateur division will probably get a Buzzdroid t-shirt or something goofy like that.
Why do this? Think “Houdini and the spritualists“.
So, without further ado, we give you the predictions:
| Site | Date | Published | JuJu |
If you see different prediction dates or earlier dates than the ones above, contact us so we can add the entrants to the pro division.
Amateurs, have at it.

OS X Leopard will be delayed seriously. Apple has already failed to release Apple TV on time. Jobs said Apple TV would be here in February and it wasn’t. They’ve already changed the site to show “Ships: Mid March”. I wouldn’t be suprised if it ships later than that.
OS X Leopard release date prediction: August 1, 2007.

I think the release date will be July 17th. This is because it is right after the WWDC07 where they will probably introduce Leopard along with the iPhone (since they are compatable), also July 17th is a Tuesday (historic apple release day), and the biggest hint is on the Apple.com Leopard Sneak Peek where the date on the iCal is July 17th. The only problem is that July 17th is in the summer and Jobs said Spring. I really hope it comes out earlier though (on MacBook Pro too so that I can get it preinstalled b/c I need a laptop)

My guess is that Leopard will come out when aple notices a dip in sales as they build the hype up over thhe new OS release and people hold back buying to get the new OS.
I for one have been holding onto my iBook G4 that I bought just a few months before the intel macs came out. I didn’t want to buy the new hardware because if there were new hardware problems (and there were), they’d be harder/less convenient to fix than OS updates.
Once Apple announces that computers purchased at some date can get the Leopard release, then I’ll be ready to buy…not before then. Boy am I getting impatient, though.

First of all, I gotta go with Jeff Uberstine’s statements, they have been quite accurate. But not only for this reason, but 5th of October happens to be my birthday too, so it will definitely be a good present.
Another thing I have been woundering, it seems as if alot of people are waiting to buy their new Macbook Pro, including me, until Leopard is released which begs the question if one should invest in stocks right now and sell directly after the Leopard release, which will probably make the stock price go through the roof, just like iPhone did, well at least until yesterday.

I think in there people will not guess since the thread isn’t specifically made for predictions, like this one is.

So if, for example, the release date happened to be October 1st, would I be able to walk into an Apple store on that date and purchase a Macbook Pro with Leopard preinstalled?
Or would there be a delay between the official release date and Leopard arriving preinstalled?

I tried checking my crystal ball and darn it was all fogged up! Maybe Leopard is just an elaborate hoax and they are sitting laughing at everyone still hanging on to the thread of hope that it’s coming! I go with the conspiracy theory lol.
But I will go ahead and give a guess of December 4/07 because they already missed the back to school rush and students/parents will be out of money what with tuition, books and clothes. Looking forward to that “Christmas” bonus.

Leopard will be released on Wednesday, 10 October. From that day onwards, all new Apple computers will be sold with Leopard pre-installed.

Admin, how do you know this, I’m assuming the best, and that the statement above wasn’t just a pure guess made to sound like an official ‘expert’ view.

My inside source (my gut instinct) informs me that the next probable release has been delayed until November 1, 2007, thereby avoiding the glut of halloween pranksters and well before turkey day distractions and the xMas rush.

Now with a “special event” (the beat goes on) I put my bets on sometime in september. I think Apple will announce leopard will ship at a date which is substantially closer than October. I could be expecting to much, but thats what I do expect …

Apple store in Birmingham UK suggested Dec 07 last weekend, but my buddy bought a macbook pro so maybe they just did not want him to wait for new op sys.

I just ordered a loaded iMac, the order feedback initially said shipment by September 12, but I just got an email that pushed it back to Oct 13 for an unspecified reason. My guess is the order crossed some unseen threshold and is being held for Leopard.
Leopard is great, but I have a deadline, dang it. Have to go to Plan B.

I believe that it will be released on the 31st of October. Not only has Apple said it would be an October release, but I think it would be funny as all hell if they released it on Halloween.

Just like washing my car is a sure fire way to make it rain, me breaking down and getting a new computer will no doubt trigger the release of the long long long waited for leopard. Sooooo if I do go get one will I be able to get an upgrade? How about the price? Do you think it will do the way up thing then go down again? How about the age old advice not to buy anything when a new model comes out, they usually end up making improvements to it because once the masses start using it they find all kinds of little “bugs” that need to be worked out. Ah yes I have given up hope I feel myself weakening, what if I break down and get a new Alien Ware computer instead? What makes me doubt Apple is that here we are September 8th already and not a peep from them. Throw us a bone people, do you not have some kind of an educated guess as to when it will be coming out? Is it even going to be in 07? Ok I am done with my novel and still sticking with my original guess, but moving on with my life and not waiting for a leopard anymore! Besides there is this puppy that I fell in love with and he costs $880! Puppy or computer?

To the person name Lianna C…. Apple has always been known for their short notice on release. Norally they announce things 3-4 weeks before date oh shipment. Look at the ipod. They just announced it and it ships end of this month. That is just what apple does. Im pretty sure that Leopard will be announce within a week from now!

That’s when I think Leopard will be released. I base that on how everything has gone. It takes 4 to 6 weeks for it to be in HEAVY beta testing before it reaches “gold status” at which point they will gear up to ship it. In August they released another version to the developers. The date was August 24th 2007 when that build was released. And it’s being called the final beta of Mac OS X Leopard… With that in mind I give my educated guess that October 26th, 2007 is the release date.

Only the iPod touch was under that little thing. The iPod shuffle, iPod nano and iPod classic started shipping the moment the Apple Store was back up. I was watching the entire event very carefully that day. Paying very close attention to the shipping dates prices iPod specs

I think I remember seeing on Apple’s website at the beginning of the summer something on the Mac OS X page saying that Leopard will be here in October. And yeah, I think they will be announcing it like 2-3 weeks before it comes out. I’m changing mine from Oct. 31 to Oct. 17. One month after the Bday would be a pretty nice late bday present. and It’s on a Wednesday. Havent they done major releases on wednesdays by coincidence or something? Forgive me if I’m wrong.
