Yeah, I'm still not buying that there will be a Pro alongside an Air. The Pro and Air will most likely be consolidated into one ultra-thin "Pro" laptop (or maybe they'll call it Air Pro? I wouldn't put it past them...)
Got a tip for us?

This. The same happened with the 12 inch Macbook everybody thought it was a Macbook Air. Even Mark Gurman called it an air when he broke it on 9to5 Mac.
Gurman also recently said the Air was dead.
Remember when Apple used to take pride in their Mac sales?
Even Pepperidge Farm doesn't remember

If they don't release the new MBP with the launch of Sierra, we will be in for a long fall and winter.
I'm 99% sure they will. It's just a long wait till then. And the question of if it'll come before the iPhone 7 and new Watch.
This anger i used to get at the absence of MBP rumours was the reason i pulled the trigger on a 2015 MBP. Life's too short guys
Use your anger, embrace the dark side
My predictions for the September event with probabilities:
- iPhone 7/6SE : 100%
- MacBook Pros : 90% (too burned to say 100, but they have to. Right? Right?!)
- Mac Pro + 5k display : 60%
- Mac Mini : 60%
- Watch2 : 30% (not enough credible rumors + watchOS3 is good enough for now)
- iPads : 10% (I expect these in March)
- iPhone 7/6SE : 100%
- MacBook Pros : 90% (too burned to say 100, but they have to. Right? Right?!)
- Mac Pro + 5k display : 60%
- Mac Mini : 60%
- Watch2 : 30% (not enough credible rumors + watchOS3 is good enough for now)
- iPads : 10% (I expect these in March)
I too must make a confession to the congregation of skylake... I have been tempted to try the 2016 MBr and see how it fits my needs..... out of desperation for something new
Frankly im tired of iPads. Sure, i own the big iPad Pro with 4 gig Ram and a CPU that is faster than anything you could throw at it. But seriously, focus on MACs please Apple - iPads are fast enough and available in so many different flavors.
Macs - they have been neglected long enough. And not only the Macbook Pros - compared to Mini and Pro they are rather up-to-date which at this point - is saying a lot.

Please no. I get it trust me some people want ultra thin and are willing to accept 1 slot USB typ C, less power aso but I'm not one of them. I want a Laptop that will last me at least 4 years and be powerful enough to fly through everything I'm going to throw at it (I don't game on Laptops nor do I do 4k editing).
Macbook is the new Air. The only reason the original Air wasn't called Macbook was that it couldn't replace the Macbook since it was too expensive. Now they're doing the exact same thing and getting the name back at the same time!
No planned refresh for the iPhone (5)SE ?
Maybe not until March so they can release new products all-year round (not Macs though, obviously /s)
This is clearly about the MacBook Pro. I'm amazed the people sourcing these rumors haven't figured this out yet. It even says it in the article:
I don't believe that. To me, there's clearly a market for a regular MB, Air and Pro line.
My prediction is that there are going to be just 2 computer lines, the MacBook and the MacBook Pro. They will come in the following sizes:
MacBook 12"
MacBook 14"
MacBook Pro 13"
MacBook Pro 15"
The MacBook will be for users who don't need much power and generally use their machines to write emails / papers, go on Facebook and browse the internet, watch videos, etc. Appropriate for the vast majority of computer users out there who can't yet use an iPad as their main machine, but don't need the power of the Pro. Sure this machine is expensive now, but so was the Air when it was first released. The MacBook is positioned to be the main computer for the average PC user.
Meanwhile, the Pro will be larger and more powerful to serve professionals who need to get more CPU-demanding work done on their machines - software engineers, web developers, graphic artists, video editors, etc. I believe the leaks we're seeing today about the "new Air" are indeed for the new MacBook Pro.
This lineup is clean, simple, and has a device suitable for everyone in the market for new portable Mac.

This is kind of weird. On 9to5Mac they have an image with an odd looking MacBook Pro. Look closely at the left and right side of the hinge. And the cutout that allows for you to open the computer is much wider. And look at the top of the lid/screen. It has a power button and volume control. AND it is thinner like was forecasted. Could this be what we had been waiting for? Or am I just delusional. It seems to be running macOS! I swear no photoshopping. You can go there yourself and see. http://9to5mac.com/2016/07/27/upthere-cloud-service-pricing-storage-details/

I KNOW!
But what could that product be then![doublepost=1469653538][/doublepost]Here is an updated picture with poor photoshopping to circle the points of interest in case it isn't clear by my post.
On second thought this might be some Apple copycat pc too.
