Yeah, I'm sure part of it was they didn't want to cannibalise sales of the iPad Pro by introducing another 'Pro' product.

Not the new iMac will be all USB C/TB3. it doesn't really matter with a desktop since adapters/USB hubs can be fitted in place.Just like the new MacBook Pro thread, this one will explode!
I just want an updated iMac - preferable with USB-A ports (at least 2).

No, it's presented on digital media.
That's being optimistic, isn't it!? 256GB may/should be standard, but 500GB is a pipe dream.
M.2 is a connection type, not an interface in itself. You can get M.2 SATA drives and M.2 PCiE drives: same connection, different speeds.
This will be like the Rapture for macs. What doesn't get updated will be discontinued.
Isn't the SD card reader on the Mac just hooked up to the internal USB bus? Why wouldn't you just use a USB cord straight to the camera then?
Thank god someone else finally echoed my sentiments.
My 2010 MBP has a 2 TB SSD in it.Not official yet. Don't want to get my hopes up for my new MBP until an official invite is sent. Macrumors has broken my heart too many times in the last 6 months.
Now i did like the Apple Pencil. I hope there will be a way go use it on the trackpad on the MacBook. That would be amazing.
It's not going to have Lightning. They are trying to push people towards wireless, not proprietary wired.

Darn, you could've bought another 2010 MBP for the price of that SSD. Coupled with that 3Gb/s SATA interface...
Well, you're a braver man than I.
Is it just me, or are these rumors making anyone else roll their eyes at some of the "features"? Call me old school... Hell call me a crybaby, but who the hell needs a touch screen on a Macbook Pro?! My MBP is a work horse so a touch function would only handicap the accuracy I need when performing certain tasks. On a regular Macbook, fine. I just don't see it on the Pro.
Also, "thinner"... Really? My Pro is thin as hell, even with a hard case. Sometime I pick it up with one hand and worry it's gonna bend. When the hell do computers stop getting thin? Personally, I think the retinas are just fine. Any thinner is just nonsense, TO ME.
Then you have the rumor that essentially all ports will be removed. I love the idea of USBc, but I use the SD card slot full time and as the SD card space gets bigger, people are going to wish they could leave it in the slot full time, for that extra space. Damn them if they remove the headphone jack. As an on the go musician, I wouldn't be able to use a MBP without the 3.5mm jack. I also think removing the USB connection would be a big mistake. There has to be at least one. I think the HDMI comes in handy, but I guess I wouldn't poop my pants without it.
It's bad enough the trackpad is no longer mechanical, and that is another thing I need. Mainly due to muscle memory, I am faster with a mechanical trackpad. When editing and mixing music on the go, relying on a vibration to tell me I have clicked something, just doesn't cut it. Feeling the trackpad press in, is a much more efficient form of feedback.
I think, even for my crybaby self, there are some positives. One is the USBc to charge. It would be GREAT if they could make it magsafe though. That feature has save my Macbook enough times to buy a car with the money I'd have to spend repairing it. The other positive is the potential for the touch panel. If the artist renderings are correct, I can see that bar being of great use.
Sorry to be crying all over all of your Apple products. I just see more gimmick than I do necessity and I am VERY invested in not wanting to live to see the day where Apple products become novelty items. When Steve Jobs died, I figured the company would go in a very misguided direction. These rumors seem to confirm that that may begin to happen.
You know what would be nice, and is LOOOOOOOONG overdue?! A thinner bezel. But before the thinner bezel, we'll probably get refrigerated devices that cool the area where the palms rest...
When my 2014 retina dies, I will buy another 2014 retina, or have it fixed. I don't see myself owning any newer models for the foreseeable future.
For anyone who made it this far, thanks for taking the time to read my rant. You all have a great day!

It will be be very attractive and it may be an instant purchase for a lot of people. Have you tried the keyboard? I think it's something that may take a while to get used to or may be impossible to get used to for some. I got used to it, but I think that their design goals are rapidly overtaking functionality.
whats horrible? the adapter or the cables coming out of them?horrible.
that's true. or they could use the same mac pro finish. i personally find that a lot nicer looking that jet black.
