Magical so get Skylake ships even though Kabylakes are much better, especially power consumption-wise? Apple has been always behind. Same with staying with AMD - more heat, less power. Most laptop companies use nVidia and there's a good reason for it.

I don't know... I'm still on Compact flash and dumb camera with no wifi
But wifi isn't always ideal. Some of these newer cameras that use SD cards can have single shots that are 50-100mb each. Even on good wifi, sometimes it's just faster and easier to plug the card into the computer.
When someone has a good workflow, having someone come along to tell them to use a lesser technology, but can't really offer compelling reason for the change, why do you think they might be upset?
Or do you believe that all these SD based cameras, that don't have wifi should be replaced because Apple decided they want to dump a port, that they could easily keep in?
Your assumption that 90% of people is just hyperbole. You can't have any evidence to back it up and are looking to say this as justification why you think how you work, is how everyone else should?
iPod touch is dead. There won't be another update. iPod nano is dead. The shuffle may get an update to Lightning and BT, but that's it. The Touch and nano may make it one more year, then replaced by the Watch and SE.
Going to be bunch crap if ask me. 4 USB-C and 3.5 headphone jack, as pictured above.
If you buy the new iPhone 7 and have their new lightning port headphones. You will need a Lightning to USB-C adapter to use their new products together. The adapter they provide with iPhone 7 wont work; you will require an additional adapter.
WTF? If you release two new products in same year and only months apart they both need to support the same technologies.
Not to mention we will be required to sync iPhone via WiFI and unable to plug phones into MBP to charge natively.
Just use a USB-C male to USB-A female adapter. It goes in the bag with the other $250 worth of dinguses required to use the new MBP like you did the old one.
It's not as much hyperbole as it is tongue-in-cheek mockery. Nobody realistically has accurate numbers, but I can promise you that the bulk of the rMBP demographic is not comprised of hobby photographers who cannot live without an SD card. However if you're willing to argue that the majority of rMBP users are indeed photographers, then there isn't much to say.
As my mid 2009 macbook can no longer support Sierra (without...Sierra Patcher Tool) I'm finally gonna have to bite the bullet and buy one. Sure hope it's a cool major change.
I'm concerned about the new MBP..
hope they don't neuter it like the 12 Inch MB with eliminating ports and all.
sacrificing functionality.

MagSafe is being replaced with a new magnetic adapter…

New MBPs in the second week of October.

Kaby lake has been the biggest jump in two years, especially on GPU performance and battery life, yet Apple doesn't seem to be Planning on intorsucing it anytime soon. Guess I'lol be waiting until the Cannonlake MBPs.
Soo, no HDMI, no MagSafe, no SD card reader, a gimmicky touch bar… just wow. Takes a lot of courage.
I'm hanging by a thread with my early 2009 Mac Pro. Any improvement in the iMac is good enough for me.
You guys DO realise the OLED panel will serve as emoji display that you can move to the left/right with just one touch of your finger – and nothing else? Function keys will be replaced with Fn+number. Shortcut keys... well... one needs priorities. Just tell Siri to brighten your screen, skip track or something.
Pls, dont put that crappy touch panel INSTEAD of F-keys! They won't have haptic-feedback and you'll look at panel to click on something! This will be pain for developers.... pls don't
... what? Kaby Lake chips for a MBP are not available or even launched yet. The Skylake ones Apple are very much most likely to use have not shipped in any laptop yet, only Intel's own NUC as of late this summer. What are you talking about?
If they fully switch to USB-C, then there'll be plenty 3rd party solutions for this. I think one already has a product out there:

Whether it's the same quality (and can deliver the same power), I don't know.
I never fail to be amused, when people assume that you do not need a feature, because they do not need it.
I seriously need a new MBP, but I'll probably skip this one, because I fear we'll get an April refresh with Kaby Lake and better GPUs...
As my next computer will be with me for 4-5 years, I don't mind waiting a few more months, instead of going for last year's CPU architecture and AMD GPUs that are far behind what Nvidia can offer.
