Apple to Phase Out the 15″ PowerBook

It looks like The Unofficial Apple Weblog has received a tip about Apple’s move to slowly phase out the 15″ PowerBook.

The tipster, whom we’ll call Bob for anonymity’s sake, manages an Apple B2B program for a U.S. institute. Recently, Bob noticed that, as you see in our screenshot, the 15″ PowerBook has disappeared from their program’s offerings. After Bob verified this disappearance with his Apple sales rep, the rep also (reportedly) explained that it would slowly begin disappearing from other catalogs as well.

No one knows yet if it is true, but if it does happen, many people will probably not be surprised, though maybe a little upset, as some applications like Adobe’s Creative Suite will not be Intel-ready until atleast 2007.
