The battery life isn't the same. With a brighter screen and a touchbar along with smaller battery capacity, the 2015 gets better battery life.
You sound like someone that just bought a worse 2015 have fun with tech thats outdated on first day
It isnt possibleWait for next release
You're right dude.It's a Radeon, not an Nvidia. Just thought I'd say that and not contribute further to the thread.
I bought a 2015 and 2016 at the same time, deciding which to keep and cannot agree with this statement at all.
2016 comes with outdated components day one.
But the 2015 model has an even older processor2016 comes with outdated components day one.
But the 2015 model has an even older processor
From what I've read (no first hand experience), the 2016 has a slower processor, but a faster SSD. I'd look at the one that performs the best overall.

No argument there, I would as wellIm testing the two side by side, and both good machines. For the same price, id take the 2016, performance wise they are very close, but the 2015 I have is the 2.8.
I average high 30s to 40s for simple work, like using Safari, for more intensive stuff, with the fans blasting, I'm seeing about 75 to 85c.You have a 2012 also right? can I ask what temps it hits, mine hits 104 celsius

Being an older computer the intake vents and fans may need some cleaning (though I never done that on mine).Cheers.
Okay, I need to re-paste and see if I can fix it, mine is way too high.

Umm no...Man Apple must have really spiked the koolaid with some potent stuff this year... LOL
The 2016 Pluses -v- the 2015:
Screen
Sound
GPU
SSD speed
Build, size and weight
2015 Pluses -v- the 2016
Number and type of ports (no dongles needed)
SD card slot
Battery life
Price
Magsafe
Draw or you decide:
CPU (depends on which 2016 you have) The base is no better than the 2015 & worse under heavy load
Keyboard (some like it and some hate it)
TrackPad (some like it and some hate it)
Glowing Apple Logo
Touchbar (to me is a complete gimmick at the moment and it's not useful or practical)
I can go on... I get it that people need to self justify their purchase but please think before posting such nonsense...

Umm no...
So you can put down your own kool-aid and stop living in your own bubble and realize why the new MacBook Pros are selling like hotcakes.
Umm no...
I don't use any of the legacy ports on my computers and haven't for several years now. So you can scratch off the number and type of ports and SD card slot. The battery life is about the same regardless of machine for me. I was thinking the 2016 MacBook Pros would be an improvement in battery life but it's the same. MagSafe I never thought was a great idea to begin with because it had significant downsides such as the wear and tear on MagSafe is really bad as you had to wrap it around the brick and it would get frayed at the edges causing fires.

I "literally" don't care about a gimmicky glowing Apple logo that does nothing at all and I love the keyboard.

Let me get this straight you have not used USB ports for a few years ?
The battery life is not the same . Sorry unless you do very little with your Machine at low brightness it does not match the 2015.
Also you have zero proof to say they are selling like hotcakes, that is not fact.
The sales figures are not published however the lag between order and deliver is still very high thus it appears from the outside they are selling in vastly large numbers.Let me get this straight you have not used USB ports for a few years ?

yeah markets will vary. I can not walk up and walk out with a 15 localy. I can get a 13 base all day long. I can also not get a 7+ in any color. The watch forget about it they are sold out till next year it seems. So I would say for one reason or another the supply is constrained. Tim is not building that many to keep demand tight and not end up with large inventory. The products don't scale well. That does not fly for the phone or the watch as the case did not change. The laptop maybe it is all new. The last option is these things are indeed just selling out faster then they can make them at scale thus selling like hot cakes.Not so sure about the whole supply and demand and backorder thing.. My local Apple Store has all the 2016's versions in stock and ready for pickup today as far as the 13" version goes..
I walked in and picked up my 13" TB on the spot whereas the Apple online store store said 2-3 weeks for delivery..
So the poster was not off base with this statement. Was he correct. We will know about WWDC time when get updated numbers on the install base of the touchbar from Tim.
I hope you're not upgrading merely because the drive is failing.I decided to go for a new mid 2015 model to upgrade my 2010 MacBook Pro (hard drive is failing). I'm happy I did. I couldn't justify the extra cost. I tried to.
