I learnt my lesson buying the first gen Retina MacBook Pro in 2012 with the LCD burn-in, GPU issues and anti glare peeling off issues. Going to wait for the 2nd or 3rd gen model before I dive in again with a new redesign.
Got a tip for us?

"It appears this issue is related to FileVault 2 startup disk encryption".
I have always had small issues off and on with FileVault, it makes me reluctant to use it. I am also very worried that the upcoming new file system from Apple will be an utter nightmare of bugs and data lose.

I think it should be said that not everyone is a good/great *presenter*. A person can be the best in his/her field without being a good presenter (especially in this industry).
I'd rather recognize Ive for the great work he has done rather than his public speaking ability. My take away from anytime i've seen him on stage is how uncomfortable he looked. The only time I thought he did a great job was his speech at the Apple campus after Jobs passed away.
Cook. Steve Jobs was the CEO who brought Apple back from the brink.... if it hadn't been for the supply-chain management of Cook, i dont think it would have played out the way it did. But his presentations, quite frankly, come off as fake. And im none too fond of the work he is doing as CEO (one major difference between him and Jobs.... Cook cant seem to be able to say 'no' to unfinished/bad ideas).
Schiller. I think he has enthusiasm for Mac hardware. I like his stage humor.
Something I noticed at the recent MacBook keynote.... I'm not fond of the Apple managers applauding and high-fiving each other at the end of each 'segment'.
Cheers
I guess it is. Why? Look at the SMBX (Apples own File Transfer Protocol implementation for Windows File Sharing) or the rewritten USB Stack (several connection issues with external hardware) and all those WiFi issues that were introduced with the DiscoveryD service. Windows 10 doesn't have any of these problems and is having a more advanced file system. Apple needs to do it's homework well otherwise they will never get it.
"It's a fantastic machine" LOL. Way overpriced this year, and many complain of lackluster performance. 2015 is the model you want. Trust me, I have one. (Plus you get to keep all your ports)
No you don’t, I still own both and it kills the 2015 model in every way.
I have been trying out Windows 10 as a virtual machine and so far it works very well. For encryption, is Windows 10 still using BitLocker or is it something else now?
Also, I thought Apple abandoned DiscoveryD service since it was so bad, did they keep it?
No offense but i think asian workers are the only ones who would have enough working morale to mass produce electronics. Everyone else is just lazy
DING!!! No more calls, we have a winner. Cook, Ive, Ferenghi, and Cue.... those doods are 1000% sure they are always right. Since Steve left nobody has the authority to smack those guys back into reality. That's why i don't expect it to ever get better. Unless the computer division gets spun off into it's own company ( which would be a win for BOTH sides ) those of us who need "trucks" ( Jobs speak for powerful computers ) are doomed.
I’m not sure but obviously it won;t work in all cases. An example from a company I used to work for - I paraphrase as I don't want to be identified, (or sued).
So lets suppose you make a car that has an automatic gearbox that vibrates when it selects second from gear at 100mph. My company re-wrote the software so that the transmission is prevented from doing that. It didn’t actually fix the problem but it did remove the symptoms.
How about a moment of silence for Steve Jobs. The dream is dead.
The 2015 is slower than the 2016."It's a fantastic machine" LOL. Way overpriced this year, and many complain of lackluster performance. 2015 is the model you want. Trust me, I have one. (Plus you get to keep all your ports)
yeah. There are some things that could be done with softwares to fix certain issues...
I have a feeling that --
In olden times when Jobs said we release in 4 weeks people worked around the clock and got as close as possible, then Jobs made the final call if enough problems were fixed or not. I don't think for one minute that these problems with the MB Pro were unknown. With Cook, who I hear is a super nice guy, says release in 4 weeks everybody just shrugs their shoulders and puts out whatever they have. No one questions it until after the fact and the PR is bad.
The wrath of Jobs (or God) is gone. We have a politically correct Apple, who respects everyones opinion, listens, create committees, does not hurt anyone's self esteem, and finally does not required brilliant performance since it might hurt someone on the team by causing them to have bad dreams or feel insecure.
So just to clarify.
The user needs to run Beta software to fix a bug which should have been spotted during initial development.

Wouldn't matter which gen you got. GPUs and screens are not made by Apple. They only create the logic board and case and then assemble it all.I learnt my lesson buying the first gen Retina MacBook Pro in 2012 with the LCD burn-in, GPU issues and anti glare peeling off issues.

I disagree..
Tim Cook is a numbers man more than Jobs. If you think Tim Cook cares a lot about feelings, tell that to Scott Forstall.
Look at the factories he closed down and shipped overseas for profits.
They have grown too big and do not have enough heads that they can trust.
From iOS / Mac Os / watch OS/ Car OS....bugs everywhere...
QC is crappy and COOK have no idea how to deal with it.
There is huge gap between software and hardware in Apple.
NO ONE TESTED bootcamp drivers or file vault ?
Based on current timelines you might be waiting until 2020 for the third gen.
With the cost of ALL Apple products, I expect them to be bug free.
THAT IS WHAT I AM PAYING FOR, AND WHY I STARTED USING APPLE PRODUCTS IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!
