Have already solved that for my personal use at least, just picked up new cables and some flash drives.
I think most of those things you mentioned can be solved with cables.
I was just never too fond of the older USB style, I don't like non reversible cable designs much so I was very glad to see that design decision on their part. I mean really. Who wants this port on thier computer in 2016?
No thanks. This port style was introduced in , Yes 1994!!!!!! A bit dated? YES. Sure that means everyone has it everywhere, but it also means that it is incredibly dated and, surely enough, has a new version that is better.

I've been saving up to buy a new mac for a few months and was very disappointed by the price jump initially but since I plan to use it for at least 5 years I don't mind the investment just because your not happy by a product doesn't mean that many of the people who do are wrong
Yeah, I believe iMac’s are coming sooner rather than late (in 3 months time, I bet).
We all knew iMac’s weren’t ready to ship, though an announcement was very much in the cards. But alas...
Though, indeed there was an in-your-face hint:

Why are you assuming all the iSheep out there are so brainless, why do so much of these called "tech journalism" and self proclaimed tech hipster reviewers on youtube so presumptuous?
Everyone is in the clouds now, Apple has forced all of us and our media into their cloud, so why do we need to do things the 2001 way, with memory cards and usb data or photo transfers from our phones? It's all integrated now with Apple, you just turn things on and it's all there.
Why are people demanding better, faster when clearly, you all don't know how to really use these machines period. Seriously?!
MAYBE if Apple named this the MacBook Cloud, would help you accept this forward thinking and revolutionary technology? Duh!
Everyone is saying the same things at the same time everywhere. They are giving us the future now they way they want us to see it, use it and follow it. Just take it already. The days of "plug and play" are over folks. Today is all about "unbox and play", everyone has all of the following by now in their bags: iphone, ipad and macbook pro, at home you have TV, door locks, blinds, lights and in your cars you have music. Just turn these things on and everything talks to each other.
If people want to resit their iron fist change, well, build your own super netbooks.

I noticed that too. I'm with you, I think the Mac Mini and Mac Pro are dead. At least in current form. The iMac is probably going to get a screen (color gamut) and processor/GPU upgrade and that's it. Good to see this happen sooner rather than later.
One thing I would like is an external Bluetooth keyboard with the Touch Panel. This would allow the features to be used with an iMac or a Macbook Pro hooked up to an external monitor.
I would normally consider that 'trolling' but I think you have a valid point - my retina MBP had 16GB of ram 4.5 years ago.
They know they made the right decisions? Okay lemme see.. they took away one of the best laptop features ever, magsafe. Now we need a fistful of dongles or an dock to connect to much of anything. They are still completely obsessed with thin and light over anything else, something that is very low on the priority list of many photo and video professionals, especially those of us who frequently work on location. Give me back a big screen laptop, make it 4K, give me back the MATTE option (we can't always control where we have to be able to view our screens when on location). Let me make the decision to lessen my battery life if I want to have 32GB of RAM! Please make it thick and heavy, I don't care, as long as it's the next best thing to a Mac Pro.
In the case of the keyboard, they weren't going for faster, but longer lasting. We're all moving towards a future where mechanical keyboards will be pieces shown in museums, because like with the spinning hard drive, mechanical parts are failure points to be replaced by something solid state. The latest trackpads are perfect examples, where Force Touch makes it literally impossible to tell that the pad isn't actually moving / clicking.
The same thing happened with handheld devices. There was a vocal group of Blackberry users who said they could type much faster on their mechanical keyboards, but literally the vast majority have moved on and are now typing just as fast on the on-screen keyboards. But I digress, as this was about the new rMBP.
Have you spent any time on the new rMBP's to be able to say the keyboard isn't "fast"?
I doubt that Tim hates the mac. As a public company, or rather as one of the largest public companies out there, his job is to make the shareholders money, not to please every demographic out there. If the mac would sell more with a toaster attached to it, you can bet your mortgage that he would do just that. Most of the things Apple says its marketing lingo, and its perfectly fine, most users don't care what generation of processor is in the laptop as long as it is fast. Much like with the iPhone, only the tech savvy complain about the amount of RAM or whatnot.
On the other hands this is a Pro machine, but that means something entirely different to everybody (including Apple). Apart from bringing to market products that sell, Tim also has to protect margins which in turn maximised the value of dividends. Don't understand why people either think they are entitled to things or that Apple is some sort of charity or religion. The only reason they make their products is for $$$$, just like every other company out there.
On the Tim needs to go, well be careful what you wish for. Tim may not be the best CEO out there (by your opinion), but he certainly is not the worst.
Desktop hardware in a laptop enclosure. It's like the people who mod a wall-socket video game console into a "portable" with an attached screen.
let me ask you, are you using wheels in your daily life? - why?
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Just think how fast even the inexpensive flash drives can be, once updated to USB C. It's a game changer, because you'll get internal SSD-like performance from cheap pocketable flash drives.
What slays me is the comments that Apple is abandoning its "core" group of Pro users. rofl. When was the last time Apple touted the Mac as a desktop publishing/graphic design solution? Exactly. 1997 ended a long time ago.

this smells of: "come on, don't be shy, see the other kids bought one too". i don't buy it (both). wait for reports of overall declining laptop sales (sans microsoft, who haven't sold too much yet) next year.
It is always sad to see people think others are getting screwed because a product isn't a fit for them....
I am not getting screwed. I did my homework and I am happy with my informed decision. Preordered mine at the Apple Store. Can't wait for it to show up.
Apple has always had a very vocal minority think they are doing everything wrong during a launch, including those in their loyal client base. Look at when the iPad came out. Look at the other launches of macs or MacBooks. this is nothing new. And yes I remember when we used to have to call Apple direct in order to purchase one of their laptops, because stores did not carry them.
Mostly that I don't really care about any of that, it's $500 more expensive than it used to be, it lacks Magsafe which has proven useful for clumsy household members, and that it doesn't do me any good to have TB3 ports when I don't have nor plan to have any TB3 devices within the next few years. The speed benchmarks have it, what, very slightly faster than the outgoing models? Not exactly a big win for that faster SSD, then.
So to answer your question: None. None of those are inspiring. Which is what I said.
a) i do own many apple devices. i'm owning CEO, i've personally purchased (from my own money) and worked on all kinds of apple devices worth at least 30+ grand within the last few years, so be assured i know what i am talking about. i'm using cMBP 2012 hires because i consider it to be the best machine for my needs. in short: i'm using a mid2012 not because i don't have any other devices or i cant afford another device for myself, but because it's a great machine and can be upgraded far above the top 2016 macbook pro (talking about ssd disk space, being en par with 16 gb ram). so please go and find another argumentation. some of my employees do use the rMBP 13", it's a very nice machine but unfortunately doesn't offer enough cpu power (no quadcore :-() and available disk space for my needs (i do love the form factor, though!) ... "you cant afford the new machine this is why you are whining" is not an argument ... never was.
b) faster, better ... were your own words, not mine. obviously the "better" *should* apply to newer keyboards, faster for cpu etc. i was assuming that was clear, as it was your own words. didn't want to confuse it with typing speed, wasn't my intention. never mind.
c) longer lasting keyboard? sounds like a non-issue to me. ... we're daily using 8-16 hours mainly 2011 and 2012 macbook keyboards. rMBP keyboards are good too (until 2015) - never had a single issue on any device, never replaced a keyboard. however, had replaced a 2007 MBP and multiple 2011 cMBP mainboards due to design/production faults. but yes, if i don't like to use a keyboard because it sucks (like the 12" macbook keyboard), it will probably last even longer ;-) this only reflects my very personal opinion. ... but ...
d) as a matter of fact, the new 2016 macbook style keyboard, like the 12" macbook keyboard, is considered not as good as the older keyboards by many people. just go and watch the reviews. some other people might like it though, as usual. (i do know some)
"design over usability" is the wrong way to go. my opinion. besides that, this is an incredibly beautiful computer, absolutely agree on that. i just wouldn't want to work on it and i can't support the direction apple is going. it's a dead end. AAPL will tell us, i'm curious.
