Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

[volcomvenom]

October is less than 24 hours away, hopefully we will hear something soonish.

If there's going to be an event, I think its tagline should be "Back to Mac" just like the 2010 event. Apple have been ignoring the macs for so long, many macs need a refresh.

If Apple doesn't announce anything on Monday or Tuesday. I think we're looking at March 2017

That's too obvious. It's going to be something like, "Touch my bar."

If the event is the last week of October, they have a bit longer than that to announce it. Stay calm.

Where is the waiting for A10 series iPad Pro thread?

But that's too sexual

I like "The Wait is Almost Over."

What about, "Insert bar into slim body"

It's only like 9 hours away my timezone.
Hopefully we get invites next week, but they very well could be the 2nd week of October

I don't think "Touch my bar" would be the best tagline...

"The improved haptic feedback provides an instantaneous, throbbing response to your touch"

"You can tell Siri is activated by the rhythmic, undulating motion above your keyboard"

"Our TouchID sensor is the best we've ever made. With just a finger your computer is turned on instantly."

I could go on, but I think you get the point.

Too much tease...

How about:

"Some people bought rMBP 2015 for full price this month. This is really sad, it really is."

Just wait for those people to start posting here, full of rage, "My computer is old, I bought it last week. How dare Apple!".

That's really cool. A video teaser/trailer for an event, along with the image invitation would be awesome.

if this is old news I apologize. Arm Hurricane, boys and girls!

My guess is we aren't moving to ARM just yet, but there may be an ARM based SoC to drive the OLED touch bar.

Nope, if the event is late october, which it most likely will be, we have still quite a while till invites.

24October- Here,we,go !

Yes, but if it's late October, then it'll be released in November, which is possible, but nothing we've heard says anything about November.

Other than iPhone, Apple usually starts sales of announced products within a few days of the keynote.

not really, remember 12.9" ipad pro, or the new design mac pro etc

i found a longer version of the same incident, and i must say, those are some of the most incompetent security guards that i have ever seen.

If this happened here (in the States) he'd be knocked out in seconds, on the floor squirming. What the hell are those Frenchies doing, pinning him and all, use some aggressive force - especially when he grabs that brown dude by the neck. Theres like 3 of them and one of him.

goobot is right.

It is very possible, we may have invites send out on October 17th for an event Oct 24th. And then MacBooks to be shipping that week. 25th-28th

or even shipping same day

Not really the same, the 12.9" iPad pro wasn't replacing anything, and the new mac pro was replacing something that had negligible sales by then.

Yes, imagine the reaction when they update the MacBook Pro and nothing else...

As TechTastic.nl states, developers no longer submit fully compiled binaries.

Instead, intermediary bit code is submitted which Apple uses to compile the binary code for the specific CPU architecture. Should Apple release an ARM-based Mac, developers wouldn’t need to re-submit their existing code nor would they need to add any ARM-specific code in order for their apps to run natively on ARM-based hardware.

“It is probably also one of the reasons why legacy applications have recently been removed from the App Store,” speculates the publication.

What? Why is this the first time I hear about this? This means that every app in the MAS can already run on ARM chips! They can obviously put the A10X chip in the next 12" MacBook as most potential buyers wouldn't be affected by the fact that non-MAS apps can't run on the machine. Not to mention that a MacBook with A10X will probably have better battery life and better GPU than a Kaby Lake Y chip. Apple will also get a $200+ pure cost saving by avoiding that $281 price of a Core m3 chip.

For those who want to run x86 apps, Windows/Linux VMs, etc. on more powerful hardware there is always the MBP/iMac/MP with Intel CPUs.
