Apple is supposed to introduce a new high speed connection technology in it's upcoming Macs according to CNet's report. The most likely new technology would be a Light Peak which uses a common interface for anything you connect to a computer like scanners, printers, displays, external hard drive, and also apple products like iPhones, iPods etc.
It is supposed that the one that will contain Light Peak will be sometimes the Macbook Pro. Light Peak technology uses optic fibre technology for high speed connections and was previewed by Intel in 2009. Apple will not be using Optic fibres, but copper cable instead. And also the technology name will not be light peak but something else.
This is a high speed connection which can achieve transfer speeds of over 10 Gigabits per seconds in both directions. And this might be the supposed reason that Apple didn't upgrade it's hardware to USB 3.0. Intel originally said that the first Light Peak technology products would ship in the first week of 2011.
