LOL I can promise you Rose Gold'll look especially silly alongside a light-up logo. Think neon sportswear combinations and colored hair of the 80's.

Seriously, just literally imagine a bright rose gold MBP, and in the center a huge plastic-y white light up Apple. No, seriously, imagine it :D HOW PREVIOUS DECADE CAN YOU GET LMAO
Or you know, a silver Macbook with a plastic white light up Apple...it's tasteless no matter what color you choose.

Here, lemme answer ya with an old picture.
It's from 13 June 2016.

Today, nothing have changed yet.
The 21.5" iMac still sports the fifth generation Intel Broadwell.
The "new" 27" has Skylake but without TB3.

It took us courage to skip (for over an year) the updates of our entire computer line.
Oh I know they're old, believe me. ;) I'm pretty sure Apple still had "new" by some of them though, even with the "don't buy" on MacRumors. Pretty sure it was a subject of derision hundreds of pages ago.

Oh maybe you're referring to this.

"New" Broadwell. Yeah Apple, right...
Except for that (and the MB), all others Macs don't have the new sign on the store.

No Rose Gold for Macbook Pros, sorry

Serban pls.
 
So earnings call moved to 10/25, which means that date is out for an event. And tomorrow... isn't happening.

That leaves 10/12 (a Wednesday because 10/10 is a US holiday), and 10/18 for possible October dates. The likely invite window for 10/12 has passed, so 10/18 seems the most likely at this point.

Or it could be press release in which case all bets are off.

See? That's how you GUESS without making yourself look like a Serban.
 
Shouldn't we also be hearing about somewhere going under reservation? I'm not completely sure, but I think there were prior rumors that had the venue an event was going to take place in go under reservation some time a short time before the event was going to take place?

Well if they aren't related I'd hope *finally* that at least one analyst grills Tim about Macs not being updated.
1,000 days no refresh for their top end Mac Pro? No new MBP? Seems for a business still about the size of iPads currently, they've had it easy from analysts.

Thank you. couldn't an event still be on Monday the 24th?

Or maybe the event will be in Thursday the 27th, and thats why they had to reschedule.
I know I know, no events are on Thursday

not necessarily for smaller events like this

I recall on the last call the analyst tried to get some infos, Tim actually said "we don't provide details on future plans" or something to that effect, so he's shut them down before and won't hesitate to do it again.

Maybe if everyone on the call tries to get info but lets face it, they won't. It's not the iPhone golden nugget.
 
I'm more likely to doubt that it'd be a small event. I mean, Ming-Chi did say the MBP as the highlight of Apple's 2016 rollouts.
 
I am dying over here. traumatized. having a panic attack about
So what the heck was the best buy iMac last night all about, 7th gen i7 or whatever? I thought it meant something for today, I am growing impatient!!!!!!

I feel it meant nothing. Best buy messed up. or some best buy staff member was trolling us.
I don't think it was significant.

Question -

What are the chances that this thread gets a shoutout during the Mac Event? MBP unveiling?

That'd actually make up for such a long delay between updates. Makes me believe (I know it's not true though) that they actually pay attention to us and I haven't been toiling away my life here instead of actually contributing to society :-(
 
That would make my life.

Timmy walks on stage. "Good Morning. I'd like to take a moment to talk about the Waiting for Skylake MBP thread.." *applause*

:)

even if its not a direct obvious point at this thread.

but if they just do something like, "we know there have been some waiting for this for a long time"
or "there are internet forums with threads over 1,000 pages long of customers excited for an update"

probably won't happen haha

They'll invite Serban himself on stage and he will bring his three prototypes with him. Tim will choose his favorite.

You're killing me :D

Are we sure it has to be a tuesday for presentation?
The mac events in the past were on a thursday (unibody intro), wednesday and tuesday.

Maybe the call date has changed to get some additional time to finish the new devices/presentations..

If thats true, then maybe they are scheduling the event for Thursday the 27th and moved the earnings call forward due to that
