More and more rumours related to Apple are coming around, are we expecting an Apple event very soon? We’ve heard that the white iPhone 4 will be coming very soon, as well as the next iPad. What’s more Apple is expected to refresh their MacBook Pro with new Sandy Bridge processors too. Now, Apple is expected to announce a new high-speed interconnect. But when, and where? An Apple event is imminent.

CNET reports that Apple will announce “a new high-speed connection technology” soon — and Intel’s Light Peak seems to be the only perfect match, unless Apple comes up with a super twist of a new FireWire standard. Or will Apple flop this announcement by just saying that it’s the USB 3.0? We’ve been knowing for quite some time that Apple’s been secretly backing the 10Gbps interconnect project of Intel, but with a likely MacBook Pro refresh right around the corner and Light Peak allegedly due for a 1H 2011 launch, it seems the time for action could be right around now. It also doesn’t hurt that this latest rumor comes from CNET, actually, as we’re pretty sure the publication has an inside source. The very same reporter wrote that Light Peak would be downgraded to copper, a full month before Intel would admit anything of the sort.
