For what seems like ages, I am actually genuinely excited for this event. Usually we know what's coming up because of leaks or whatever. But this time it will actually be (mostly) a surprise.
I just checked wwdc 2012 keynote.
They updated the MacBook air, the classic MacBook pro, and revealed the 15" retina MacBook pro.
all of these were available on that day. available for purchase on that day, shipping that day.
Or at-least Schiller said: 'shipping today'
So I think it is very likely we could have an event on the 24th or 17th if were are lucky. or tuesday after one of those days
With the 2016 MacBook pro availability on that same day
And this is the most excited I have been for an apple event in years!

I literally check this site about 10 times a day eagerly awaiting a Macbook Pro rumor, anything would do.
I wish I could say I only check this site 10 times a day .....
Wait, there's no event yet confirmed ... you know what they say => hope for the best but be prepared for the worst
. Signed : cautiously optimistic future MBP buyer.
Let'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."
agreed, the only delay we can see is the obvious demand and the built to spec upgraded models but even those in the past have taken around 1-2 weeks from announcement day to arrive
WHAT THE .... YOU CRAZY ... WHAT KIND OF ...
.... actually that makes a ton of sense
airpods : " Available late October. "
Well touch ID as well. The secure enclave in the in the SoC is it not? Really when you think about it, I'm almost certain there will need to be some sort of custom SoC driving the OLED touch bar/Touch ID. It may not be Ax kind of powerful, but just enough to do it's thing.
I know this roadmap was already posted in many threads, but I have finally got time to analyze it.
Look carefully. Quad core Kaby Lake 45W chips with GT2 will be available in late Q4. People were questioning the future of Apple computers because Intel will not ship high end GPUs with their high end CPUs. The problem is this. Intel will not be able to compete with AMD in high-end mobile market, so they decided to refocus their technology on external expansion.
Skylake Quad cores with GT4e will be available till Q2 2018(!) when they will be replaced by 6 core CPU with GT2 graphics, which presumably will be faster than GT4e.
Kaby Lake GT2 graphics will be great addition to dGPU in Macbook Pros, and will allow for faster speeds of the CPUs.
But lets get back to one thing that is apparent. 14/28W Quad Core, GT3e CPUs in Q2 2018. That is biggest breakthrough we will see in Intel CPUs. Quad core CPUs in Macbook Pro 13, with fast GPU. Too bad it will be so late to the party...
Yep, my thoughts too. They will want a similar level of security to iOS and that will be difficult to do without some kind of custom chip.

I came up with something similar earlier , Oled stip could have embedded os to interact with the smc even when the system is off. Could be used to report a critical low battery, provide the time, serial number, mac addy without powering on the box.
Yeah I'd expect you to be able to do certain things, however limited they may be, with either the display off, perhaps even the entire machine off. Since the rMBP, you haven't been able to check battery life without the notebook on. I'd suspect that may change.
So I'm connected to an LA-based color postproduction house that recently colored the ads / design videos for the new MBP revision. Hearing the same four USB-C ports, OLED bar, and space grey color option rumors from them and that they're due out soon as Apple finalizes their video content late in the game. Color is the last step.
Apple in-houses production, but outsources color.

Please tell me you're being 150% honest because you are my life this second. Please.
ANSWER ME.
Im sorry I love you.
Why would they use space grey if they just got rid if it in iPhone?
I mean, the Macbook 2016 came out like only 6 months ago and still had space grey? Maybe Apple is only sticking to Matte Black on the new iPhones as experimentation.
I'm probably going to buy the base model because disk space would be easy to expand with thunderbolt 3 / usbc.
[doublepost=1475290489][/doublepost]Pleaseeeeeeee Apple, make a gold color available. I like bling bling.

Ok we got Ming, Gurman saying Q4, front page says 10.12.1 (which should drop soon), new polaris drivers. This ^ guy up here. I'm so ready to be done. Got me feeling like captain planet in this piece.
Serban Post Production - I know that place.
