It will still be $899/$999 for that reason - the purpose of the Air now is to fill the "under $1000 price bracket".
Anybody want to bet they will call it 'Front Row'?
Two reasons I'll never buy an LG display again:
1) I have purchased 3 of their 5k displays and all of them have failed in less than a year. Which is a shame because the image quality was great.
2) Their warranty / RMA service is a joke. Good luck replacing failed hardware. (Not as big of a problem if it is Apple-branded, I suppose). And enjoy your refurb replacement!

Had proper testing been done you would not have had to up the fan's on your own? Or they just figured the smell will go away........
Not to be hyperbolic, but if Apple delivers solidly on all of these promises by year end (new iPhone, new Watch, new MBP, new iMac, new Thunderbolt Display...), they are looking at one of the most blowout quarters they're ever had. Almost every Apple user I know has been eagerly waiting to buy at least one of those products.
The Kaby Lake CPUs that a MacBook Pro would need are looking like mid-2017 and that assumes Intel hits their ship dates, which they have not been very good at. So we'll likely get close to a full year out of a Skylake MacBook Pro refresh before KL is ready and all KL will really bring is integrated TB3/USB-C (which the Skylake MBP will have via the Alpine Ridge controller).
Why would you believe this?
Regardless of native processor support, Thunderbolt controllers are used to add Thunderbolt ports to a device.
How do you think the over a dozen laptops already have Thunderbolt 3 ports?
We will see it this year.
They won't.
Thinner at all costs is Apple's mantra.
My late-2015 iMac 5K with the R395X and i7 runs a fair bit cooler and with a much slower fan speed than my late-2014 iMac 5K with the R295X and i7 so evidently they did.
What you're describing is the new MacBook.
They're not going to pursue a duplicate line with a different keyboard.
iPhone SE was released earlier this year, along with the iPad Pro 9.7, new MacBook Retina and the iPhone 7 is coming next month. I understand what you mean though in regards to the Pro hardware.
Reminds me when the iBook was discontinued then later brought back as an app.
Help me understand this quote please. I just upgraded my late 2008 15" Pro and with some RAM upgrades to 8GB and a fast SSD upgrade it wasn't "dying". It just couldn't edit video like I needed it to. Is your MBP dying or do you just want a new toy? There is a difference.
I am so disgusted with Apple's decision to stick with AMD cards. They are both less powerful AND less power efficient than Nvidia's cards. It's at the point now where Nvidia feels almost a full generation ahead of AMD in both raw compute and power efficiency.
I guess anything that adds a few more tenths of a percentage point to Apple's margins is perfectly acceptable these days though....

Also since the Mac Pros are assembled here in the US, it's much easier to keep them a secret.
Yes, they're wrong. We will see TB3 with the new Macs.
Along with the fact it wasn't introduced at the time of introduction, the reason the new MacBook doesn't have it is because of logic board space constraints (the same reason they didn't have support for USB 3.1 speeds) as TB3 requires an additional TB controller.
Other Macs have more internal space for TB3, and we should see TB3 in the Early 2017 MacBook as it will use Kaby Lake.

Yeah, it's even worse than that. The mobile AMD cards in the new Macs max out at around the performance of a MOBILE 980M. Meanwhile Nvidia are using desktop cards as the mobile cards.
