Curious , why would anyone order the 2016 non touch instead of the old?

You can get the 2015 13" refurb from Apple which is basically a complete new laptop with 3.1 i7, 256 ssd and 16 gb for under 2k. Compares to same 2000 you pay for the 16gb with 2.0 ghz.

Since the 2015 has usb a, sd card,magsafe etc - and given the outcry in this community about the lack of the very same ports on the new models - i thought that no one would buy that.

Guess Apple isnt totally wrong about going all TB3.

Some people may want the faster USB-C I/O. You can get a dongle to use USB-A, but you can't get full speed TB3 on a 2015.

The big difference, and perhaps something that's really being overshadowed, is that PCI-e SSD. It's way faster than just about anything else out there and that's going to be a difference you can feel. The 2016 MBP is going to FEEL really fast because of that!
 
Well I'm starting thinking of this is not only server maintenance. The sites has been down for a couple of hours now, I didn't remember this long last week.
 
Hi everyone,
I've ordered a base rMBP 15 inch. in Space Gray the 28th Oct. from the Educational Italian Apple Store Online. I got 25th Nov. - 2nd Dec. as established delivery period.

I'm a little worried because my order status and my email confirmation don't report the color of the Mac (as you can see from the picture attached). It looks like is the Space Gray model, but I wouldn't want they send me a Silver one. Should I be worried about that?

Uhm, are you guys sure that they would work on a Sunday to start packing and shipping? I would assume that they will wait to Monday?

I'm only speculating; but I don't think that would be the case. I think once there's a Mac down the line with your name on it, the system reports "preparing to ship". Preparing being the key phrase here.
 
Question to anyone who might know based on similar cases from the past
Now in the UK the waiting time is 4-5 weeks
can I assume that if I just wait and order in 4-5 weeks the shipping will be pretty much right away or there will be a further waiting period?
 
yeah guys its just sunday maintenance , I don't see a reason they will need to take the site down just for order update.. :)

It doesn't tend to work like that. iPhone 7 Pluses have been at "3-4 weeks" or more since September.
