This is why I think Apple may just skip this year.
You mean that a computer company doesn't release any new model between October 2016 and at least October 2017 (no iMac, no Mac Mini or Pro, no Macbook, Air or Pro). That would be a joke.
This is why I think Apple may just skip this year.
the bigger jump with Kaby is the upgrade to 615 internal graphics processor.
This is a likely scenario if Apple really wants to add "many" new features. TB3, latest processor, better handling of graphics, and longer battery life.at this point of time, i hope Apple will NOT upgrade the Macbook with kabylake and wait until October to go straight to coffelake to have that TB3 native and probably even a greater battery life
It would be worth waiting for if it also had long range wireless charging.This is a likely scenario if Apple really wants to add "many" new features. TB3, latest processor, better handling of graphics, and longer battery life.
maybe they felt that Kaby lake wasn't enough of a perfomance increased to warrant a bump... they did skip Broadwell with the MBP's so its not unprecedented.

I don't think Apple would release the Macbook alongside the updated MBP in October. They'd wanna keep sales separate for awhile, I would assume.its ok,since x86 cpu ram are not improving from one year to one year so great anymore. Only ssd and gpu.
Its ok in october to have new mac mini imac and macbook pro/macbooks
I feel that Broadwell was a smaller update to Haswell than Kaby Lake is to Skylake.

No way was broadwell a smaller update.
You got your sentence backwards... broadwell was a bigger update to haswell than kaby was to sky
Besides, it doesn't really matter for most consumers. All four of those chipsets open safari up just as fast
One of the biggest improvements with Kaby Lake is the 10bit H.265 hardware encoding/decoding support.
Streaming in H.265 could become quite important in the next one or two years. Especially without a dGPU, it makes a huge difference.
yes, but instead of releasing the 12" macbook this month with kaby lake and wait for another 1-2 years for next update,i think we all prefer to wait until October for coffelake to take advantage of the H.265 10bit, but also of the tb3 native technologyOne of the biggest improvements with Kaby Lake is the 10bit H.265 hardware encoding/decoding support.

What are the chances of 2 x USB-C ports on the new MB? Do you think this is likely or very slim? That's the only thing holding me back from buying the current gen model.
Thanks
glitchy or not the new MBP is truly a disappointing,undesirable laptop with a ridiculous price tag,I really don't remember any Apple laptop being so underwhelming and undesirable.I don't know where you get the idea that it is glitchy and gimmicky...
If you NEED as your post suggest buy now, otherwise it is a case of want, then wait (but don't expect ANY product to be glich free)!

I'm a MBP user myself, but I refuse to upgrade to the new MBP even if it's heavily discounted.it's just not a great product and that's it.
I will replace my MBP to 12 Inch MacBook when the new model is out.
definitely no interest in new MBP.
I felt the same, and I still feel it is a little overpriced, but after upgrading, man I was wrong.glitchy or not the new MBP is truly a disappointing,undesirable laptop with a ridiculous price tag,I really don't remember any Apple laptop being so underwhelming and undesirable.

Personally I feel it was completely misleading that they promoted the event with "Hello again". It set expectations really high, as the "Hello" part was used to introduce the Macintosh, and the iMac. In the end, it was an all iOS event, and the only major new Mac related thing, was a touch bar. Really? It really portrais Cooks Apple as having no clue what the companys legacy is about.What is so repulsive about the new MBP? I am seriously asking because I've heard so many people bash it not just you.
Is Coffeelake going to be out by then? We still have to get Cannonlake first.

So are we thinking WWDC?
