New MacBook Pro Still Planned for October, USB-C MacBook Air Also in the Works

[Juicy Box]

Finally, Mac rumors on macrumors.com

The past couple weeks it seemed like every other article was about Samsung products.

And every day is another day that Apple is still selling 15" MBPr's with freakin HASWELL processors two generations old and still charge premium price, full price, no discount.

When they release the new Macbook Pro's with Skylake or Kabby Lake processors, they'll lower the price on the old ones.

Time to upgrade my Mid 2010 macbook pro with a failing gpu.

same here, also if those upgrades are so significant, i doubt apple would let this go with a silent upgrade.
they would make a big show about it.

Hoping to see a iMac refresh at the same time. Cool to see 2 new models, a 30" and a 24" to replace the 27" and 21.5".

Would like to see iMacs running cool, not the 180F as last

Can someone smarter than me explain if they feel this will be able to power dual 4k displays? I am about to bail on Apple waiting for an upgrade for their desktops, this could buy me some time.

I wouldn't be surprised if there won't be an event. To fill an entire hour with a touch panel and a slightly thinner body is rather...difficult. And no rumors at all point towards anything else, that's in the pipeline.

I'm sure their will be updates to the iMac as well. Pro and mini could be a different story...

Most models current gen can already do 2x 4k

ROFL SO TRUE

"There have been no hints of an event and no invites have been sent out, so it's possible Apple will debut the machines more quietly, with just a press release."

We have been waiting for this since 2012.

Just a press release, when they got the OLED panel, touch id and a new track pad. They also need to talk a bit more about the Airpods, when will we be able to buy them.

2012 presentation

Don't worry.

At the end of October, there will be rumors that Apple will announce new Macs in November.

And don't forget "as soon as" in the title.

Finally, getting rid of all the standard ports and replacing them with a bunch of usb-c ports that need adapters for all my devices.

Right? Why would anyone need 4 USB-C ports. And I would be really bummed if I can't use it with my Thunderbolt Display, like my wife's Macbook.

I'm sure their will be updates to the iMac as well. Pro and mini could be a different story...

Yeah, but anything other than speed bumps? And those don't actually need any time dedicated to during an event.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have an event, I just don't see it happening. Filling an entire event with just normal speed updates and ONE major redesign thing just doesn't seem likely...I mean, in September we had the iPhone, the Watch...software...There was a LOT.

I think I'm going to miss the MagSafe connector, when I (eventually) probably get one.

Right now I have three MagSafe power supplies (which is actually the right amount for me), though I only have one MacBook Pro. I trip over one of the cords every other week ...

 

[pat500000]

macbook pros...........sigh...

 

[Gashole]

So much for a "Pro" level laptop. Losing MagSafe, HDMI, and SDCard slots. I don't care about thinness in a Pro laptop. I value functionality way over thinness and portability. My Macbook Pro 2010 is the perfect size and weight. If you want to remove the ports that a lot of people use ALL THE TIME, then do that crap with the Macbook or the Air, not the Macbook Pro. That damn headphone jack better be there too or I'm roadtripping down to Cupertino.

Hopefully Apple is less concerned with making the updated MacBook Pro smaller and lighter, and more concerned with making it a professional device again. Anyone who has ever tried editing 4k video on the most recent model knows this is computer is no longer a possibility. No need to remove all of the ports and SD card slot. Smaller isn't always better.

which October?

What? That would awesome but I haven't seen anything new display sizes.

 

[djbuddha]

And somehow the 2012 version will remain in the line up at $1,000+ dollars.

Guess my resale value on my 2012 is still good ... so there's that ....?

 

[ndolebay]

No iMacs?

ugh

 

[Tech198]

Somehow, i am doubting they'll be an event for this... My feeling is silent updates.. Its already half way through October already....We would have heard something by now if there was going to be an event. Even if it is running up u need at least a week to know. Apple's not gonna pull WWDC event out of it's <censored> for next day *surprise us all*

So yes, I agree with the "big guy at the top"

 

[mossback]

Excited for new macs but I sure hope they keep the SD card slot and magsafe.

It wouldn't be a modern ultra-thin Mac, unless you also had to carry around a gross ton of adapters.

But at least it's ULTRA thin.

 

[djbuddha]

which October?

Best comment in the thread hahaha

 

[JeffyTheQuik]

So invites go out sometime this week? Maybe tomorrow or thursday?

Yes, but definitely not Wednesday...

 

[ghost187]

I'm guessing a March "Pro" event featuring Macs and iPads. At this point I'd rather have kabylake processors anyways.
