I don't think they'll muddy the waters with that at an iPhone / iOS launch event. MBP refreshes would either distract from the iPhone or be ignored, neither are something that Apple would want.

Refreshes have frequently gone out in the past without any sort of event and I'd guess that this would be the case this time.

Yeah good call.

They will probably come out this Tuesday the 27th with an announcement on the website.

the rumours this summer were pretty confident of not just a spec bump but a new air-like design for the next iteration of mbp. i'm sure it'll get it's own event.

I read similar rumors on MacRumors.

A shame but maybe the new MBP in 2012 will incorporate Ivy Bridge.

They could already use the new 2760QM, 2860QM and 2960XM CPUs. It seems they are ~ 15% stronger http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Intel-Sandy-Bridge-Core-...

didn't they just do an mbp refresh this year?
