Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

[ssong]

the correct question i think is closer to : " if new 13.3" or 14" MBP is between 12" rmb and old 13.3..." but like i said 3 prototypes and i know about only 2 display sizes
[doublepost=1462819372][/doublepost]i think i have a little bad news, but i dont know will affect the WWDC. we have some reports from those who are using external/multiple displays are having some issues, we are expecting some new components on 12 May. But like i said i dont know if its bad since my team don't have any issues. I dont know if those who have that particularly issues has the old intel chip from January or the current ones. The communications between us and others regarding Intel components, are through Intel. So they report to Intel, Intel is asking us if we had these problems, we say NO, we ask what chips the others have, Intel ask the others, we are in darkness... I don't know why we cant communicate directly but these are the rules, stu*d rules that eats a lot of time

Obviously you probably have experience doing this and perhaps it's even sanctioned by Apple but I think detailed info like that may potentially lead to Your identity being found, or at least your teams. Just saying, we all love rumours but surely wouldn't want a person to lose their job over it.

@Serban are you Tim Cook?

 

[gooch3265]

Isn't the most appropriate question for Serban "Who do you work for?", then "What is your job?", then "What are your functions and responsibilities in that role that are relevant to the development of new or existing Apple products?"

I want to believe too, but exercise some due diligence ffs.

You might be asking too much, and for free. Read again:

@Serban we are getting multiple colors right?

This thread is getting dumber by the day..

My view is that some greater emphasis on credentials now would add credibility to the information already put forth. The credentials need not go so far as to identify Serban. One would think he/she is less likely to be identified by the nature of the information being leaked given that there are allegedly teams of people undertaking similar roles. A truthful answer to just one of my posited questions would demonstrate some bona fides without greatly risking exposure.

Then there should be no intelligence in such a dumb thread.

 

[oserere]

@Serban should we expect the same screen sizes we have now 13.3/15 or are they larger maybe say 14/16 inches

 

[MRxROBOT]

Haha wow I thought a few of us were just having a laugh with this a couple hundred posts ago. I now see Serban has reached mythical status

 

[Serban]

And when you think we will never meet in person.... i wait for the teleportation technology that allows you to meet with your new friends and shake their hands at least for 10 seconds

 

[thor1996]

@Serban please answer that question.

 

[WRONG]

Well, small is the world...
If you come somewhere near Germany, I'll buy you a beer.
Either you're trolling us or seriously giving legit rumors, you're keeping this thread alive.

 

[2457248]

@Serban please answer that question.

he mentioned different screen sizes are being tested, among with the old 13 and 15. i guess that's the most he could tell by now, which sounds promising enough.

 

[nicovh]

It must feel like this for Serban with all the questions

 

[OSX7]

Christ. These last few pages are cringe worthy. No wonder people think vitamin C is flu medicine.

....it is not?!

 

[::::::]

@Serban do you have any information about the touch ID/other biometrics being included?

 

[Mattsasa]

So there are 3 prototypes, only 1 of these prototypes will be the final. If I understand right Serban says some of those are in 13"/15" and some are in different sizes. and some of the prototypes will usb A and some with out any.

Serban mentioned a prototype of a model that he thinks is the final. which was thickness .68-.61" and weights were like 3.16lb for 13" and 4.xx something for the 15"

So if those are the final models then they will be in 13" 15", with some kind display difference.
But serban has not said whether this proto includes usbA or not.

Am I understanding everything right so far?

I guess you are right. I would like to know if this prototype includes usbA. I would hate to have to use adapter for my u2f security key. I hope we get at least one usbA port..

I would really like to believe. However that somebody is taking the risk for himself or his company to be identified and being sued by Apple for violating the NDA seems not realistic to me. I can't remember that this kind of detailed information how product testing is done for Apple products has ever been provided to an apple discussion forum by someone who is actively involved in this process. So I have my doubts by reading all this but anyway it is entertaining and it keeps this thread alive until WWDC or until more credible rumors will surface....

Well. Don't worry about @Serban its 21st century, fake profiles, vpn's etc. I am sure he is a smart fella and he knows what he is doing..

 

[koyoot]

One more thing to blow you all guys more. There is a very well informed source on the internet, that I do not want to disclose, but it says that next gen. Apple computers will have... Polaris GPUs .

what makes something else more credible? other accurate leaks we get, are probably from similar people to Serban. Except they report to a news company that will write an article about it
