I really wish we would see an NVIDIA GPU back in the MacBook Pro. I'm getting a new MacBook this summer, and I'd like a CUDA-capable MBP (for development)
Got a tip for us?

I hope Apple will update the internals of its rMBP line. I think the touchbar should be optional and the new keyboard is a downgrade compared to the old keyboard.
Hoping for an update on the Apple Campus, though. Completion date, final move in date, and current pics.

I hope OWC/Macsales finally ships its rMBP dock: http://blog.macsales.com/39345-owc-makes-macbooks-pro-again-with-game-changing-product
Won't fix the keyboard, but will bring back a lot of the ports.
I think you better lean towards the watch bands, ha.
I hope we see some great stuff this year. I really hope they have an overhaul planned for iOS on iPad.
I think the next event will be held in the steve jobs underground theater @ Apple Park.
Hope Eddy Cue is on stage this time as he never disappoints. He and Craig F. are the future of Apple once Cook gets fired.
Massive Craig man crush
It's the hair. But he is hilariously funny on stage. I appreciate his enthusiasm and humor.
I get tired of Tim Cook's voice, Craig would be so much better, a talented speaker.
Apple has iOS, Mac OS, TV OS and watch OS platforms along with other updates to announce in 2 hours. I doubt there will be hardware updates. Anyway iOS will have to go through some changes to accommodate iPhone 8. I predict some key changes to iOS.
Nope, silent updates. Should be mostly software and new iPads, maybe the Siri speaker thing.
Well, they managed to fit 30 minutes of Apple Music nonsense in the keynote back in 2015.
They can do it.
Cook always sounds like he's scripted in a way it sounds fake. Craig F. puts on an excellent show when showing the mundane features of the OS, making it sound exciting. Eddy is the visionary at Apple and is just a cool guy on stage.
After 5 mins of Tim Cook speaking, they can test the new iOS 11 sleep tracker.
What isn't hard to accomplish is to beat Google I/O and Microsoft BUILD, where nothing was announced, and nothing relevant was put in the hands of the programmers...
iOS already has live widgets on the home screen.
In fact, livelier than Android, as they can have moving images like videos and Android can't.
Not sure about Cue. Everything he touches fails. Craig and Schiller would be good bosses though.
What? Why? The non-TB model is the only one worth the money right now, when it's on sale for $1,299 at least. The TB model is an overpriced failed gimmick. If anything, they should drop THAT, and offer the higher specs and 4 USB-C ports on the non-TB model starting at the $1,499 price point. It's ok to say "hey we tried something different, we though it would be better, you disagreed so we're moving on." No one shed a tear or gave Apple any grief when they replaced the crummy 2nd gen iPod with capacitive touch buttons with the superb 3rd gen Clickwheel model that set the standard for every model that followed it until the iPod line was retired completely.
Enough gimmicks like Continuity, APFS, Swift, 3D Touch. These are not innovations. APFS is literally useless as is 3D Touch, which is king of useless. We need real innovation like a dynamic Home screen with live widgets. A weather widget is vital. If a forecast is updated I need to be alerted IMMEDIATELY. Way more important than APFS or more dynamic iMessage. Fact is, iOS is BORING. It needs more fun.
I would love something like this:

iOS looks boring with its horrible Fisher-Price icons. I wish Apple would focus more on SOFTWARE for productivity. Their first-party apps are so boring and lacking. Apple insists on cluttering up the Home screen with rows and rows of icons that are literally useless: Reminders, Wallet, iBooks, News, Podcasts, TV, Activity, Health, Home, iCloud Drive, FaceTime, Voice Memos, Compass, Stocks, iMovie, GarageBand, Music Memos, Clips, Pages, Keynote, Numbers, iTunes U, Trailers, Stocks, Friend my Friends, Find my iPhone, Tips. All garbage. We need REAL apps, Apple. REAL. APPS.
"iOS looks boring with it's horrible fisher-price icons" - says the one who posts a dashboard that looks like a My Little Pony advertisement. *smh* *facepalm*
Not needed in order for teenagers to develop message stamps and new emojis. This is the real Apple focus. Just get everyone to continue to act like early teens and do what they are told; buy, buy and buy whatever marketing and fashion is selling.
since we already have TB3 and nvidia drivers, no need to have Nvidia dGPU...amd are greater to be built into the mac

Strongly disagree. Most of these features aren't flashy but they work fantastically. You must not own a mac or iPad if you think continuity is bad, throw my phone on my dock and all my text messages and call routed to my mac or iPad seamlessly, don't know how that's a gimmick. APFS, while not an innovation, brings much needed change and speed under the hood. Swift is the reason you have the apps you have on your phone as that's how they are made, and, 3D touch, while it wasn't all that useful before iOS 10, I use it regularly when checking notifications.
I would like to see some difference to the home screen but what you have is just plain bad. It's an insult to any OS for it to look like that.
Apple has been boring for the past few, I think this one is going to be a good one.
