Genuinely don't think it'll come until 1st quarter next year - they literally just updated the boxes to Sierra, so unless they're keeping the same boxes and design (maybe they are) I can't see it yet. I suppose it'll go all USB-C/TB3 at some point too.
Got a tip for us?

Please stop. Your sense of humor is broken.

If that is the case. Apple would have never introduced Magsafe. It have to be some reason for this.
Well.. maybe the 4% of the market that buy them... close tho...
Yes, and a trackpad for iPad and a macOS/iOS hybrid and a touchscreen MacBook Pro.
Em, no. That will just not happen in the near or mid future.
What is that Apple Logo photo??? A FOREST FIRE???
They are planning to burn down the Mac line up!!!
Actually, if they are bringing out a new monitor, they are updating the MacPro or/and the Mini. Why a monitor without an appropriate computer? All Macs will get spec bumps or something.

Mine was having issues too (albeit a 2012) I got a Thunderbolt Sata adapter and a nice new SSD and it's pretty darn quick again. Might be something worth considering?
Sounds like you need a thick laptop with noisy fans that still gets hot enough to toast a slice of bread. Aren't these the stuff that computer makers used to do decades ago?
While something being labeled "monumental" is a matter of perspective and expectations, it is obvious that "laptops in colors" is cynical (and even a bit malicious) downplaying of what is widely expected to happen. I think that all rumors, leaks and predictions clearly show that Skylake MacBook Pros with new GPUs are coming, alongside a completely new design with some quite big changes - like the OLED bar, new USB ports, new keyboard, etc. Also, possibly an MacBook Air update, update for iMac (new GPU) and even, who knows, an update for Mac Pro.
Of course, whatever they announce, there will instantly be 5 topics on Macrumors with people claiming Apple has lost its way, that new products are over-simplified, underpowered and full of marketing bs #firetimcook, and everyone who disagrees is a worshiping Apple sheep.
Hmmm.... "Hello Again"
Kind of like a return from somewhere.
Apple could shock the community and make a return to the PPC architecture.
12 and 24 core Power9 PowerMacs.

Would be an interesting twist. "Hello Again".

Not necessarily slower, we don't know what Apple has been cooking up. The A10 is a pretty powerful processor already even when it's tied to an iPhone.
Scale that up to laptop and desktop levels of available power however, as opposed to an iPhone battery. Along with far better thermal control, including the addition of fans and a heat sink. They could probably do a seriously powerful variation of their A series processors once they've been released from the shackles of an iPhone or iPad case.
I'd be stunned if they made this move now. But I do think that it's a very real possibility for them in the future. It would give Apple complete control over their product roadmap without having to rely on Intel (or AMD I suppose could be a possibility) bringing out new CPU's. I don't doubt for a minute that there's already a version of macOS running on completely Apple hardware, tucked away in one of their secret labs right now.
It hasn't changed how I use my phone, but it is definitely convenient not to enter the PIN every time you need to use it. Fingerprint sensors came to some laptops over five years ago and it has not been a hit as far as I can see.
If done right, i.e in the track pad or on the mouse, and it selects user account based on your finger print, it may have some value.
I agree about not wishing thinner machines, but I disagree about noise: I seriously prefer quiet machines, and this doesn't imply lower performance: I built a PC box last August with a Pascal Titan X and a 4GHz i7, and I managed to keep it at almost Mac-quiet levels. It would be quieter if it was a Mac, and I'd prefer to buy a Pascal Titan X from Apple directly, but Apple was too clueless these months and my only choice for getting my project done was a PC box.
It's somewhat puzzling: Ten years ago, I wished to have a Mac Pro but didn't have the money. Now I got a project that justified such a purchase, and got the money, but Apple didn't have the box, so the money went to a local PC store. It's hard to find words at how clueless is Apple these days.
Don´t be so dramatic. Laptops can be all of the above and still show enough performance. All Apple´s laptops have been slower or less performant than top of the line competitor products. Why didn´t you jump ship sooner?
I also wonder if this is when Apple are going to drop their Amazon Echo competitor.
Let's see, black background, colourful logo.
Maybe the show opens with a dark stage, then on the giant screen the Siri waves pop up and we're greeted by, "Hello, again. How can I help you today?"
Ok, far fetched maybe, but so long as we're throwing around wild speculation might as well throw that on the pile too

Well, in my opinion (of course), Apple isn't the best at reasonable things; like this effin' f*** up
And not to mention that the you can't listen to music while charging your phone unless you have Bluetooth headphones, because Apple didn't implement wireless charging into the phone - yet they took away the headphone jack (!)
Dear Apple,
please don't remove the headphone jack from the upcoming computers.
(I can't even believe what I'm asking of them!)
To me this invite looks strange. Not professional as usual. Maybe it doesn't even come from Apple.
The reason is called $$$ – wouldn't it be nice if you had to replace your computer when you trip over the cable? Even if it happens only to 1% of us, it's still some nice $$$.
I believe it's an Indian holiday. Time to celebrate!
ARM. Macbook: 1xA11. Macbook Pro: 2xA11. Mac Pro: 12xA11.
I think it looks the same as other Apple invites, it has the Apple logo, a tagline "Hello Again" and it has colour in the background of the Apple logo while the background itself is black.
