More like a WAG (wild a** guess)Got proof? Or just mere conjecture?
There's no proof, but it's not nearly as far-fetched as some make it out to be.
With Windows 10 PCs rolling out with Skylake starting September, Apple will also need to put out updated hardware. They'll lose so much revenue to the likes of XPS 13...
Maybe I'm just being hopeful, but I doubt Apple would skip Broadwell on rmbp 15" only to give it an update in 2016. October would be my guess for the next update.
There is one major issue with this theory, it relies on logic and apple caring one iota about what anyone else does. Neither have proved to be any use in predicting what apple will do in my experience.
was looking on where to ask, and i know this is skylake thread, but
can any1 explain if there is any difference and the meaning of the
Early << mac
Mid << mac
Late << mac
are there any differences other than just in which quarter they were built ?

Actually, Apple decided to divide the build dates into thirds instead of quarters.
January, February, March & April = Early
May, June, July & August = Mid
September, October, November & December = Late
It also relies on the concept that buyers are willing to purchase a mac or windows machine.
A lot of buyers (particularly Apple users) are too entrenched in their respective ecosystem to jump ship that easily.
While Windows 10 is a LOT better than Win8, they're gonna have to convince consumers and corporations of that.
Hopefully they release a space gray version of the Pro. Looks so good on the MacBook.
Another topic about skylake and I will shoot myself!

It's going to be sad for all the skylake worshipers when Skylake finally arrives with the new thin keyboard and no dGPU because the iGPU will be 'good enough'
Which is why I'm planning on either getting the current model or hoping for a silent refresh with Broadwell in October/November, since it's a drop in for the Haswell CPU. I want a discrete GPU and don't trust Apple not to drop it. If there's no Broadwell refresh by Autumn, I'll go with the current model.
Microsoft has a bigger hurdle to jump than Apple. Windows 8/8.1 was a disaster - a disaster the likes of Vista or Windows Me. PC sales (i.e. Windows computers) are down whereas Mac sales are up.
