Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

[OVERTASK]

You sound like someone who bought a 2015 model this year

I did and I will be buying the 2016 as well

I did and I will be buying the 2016 as well

In 2017?

This, my dear friends, i call commitment.

I call courage

Just got out of a meeting. Did I miss anything?

But Apple is discontinuing OSX without a replacement.

Damn there's a lot of people that have been waiting for new Mbps, I'm worried it's gonna sell out instantly. Does BTO usually sell our faster or slower compared to base models?

I'm more hyped about them actually showing it off.
If it sells out instantly, im fine with waiting 2-3 weeks.
But they most likely won't.

You'd rather watch someone use one than actually have one? If I have to wait till December or late November then I'm gonna be pissed

Just considered the sweet, sweet irony of all of us logging into this "waiting" thread from our MBP's in a couple of weeks.

Gurman just tweeted out an article about the Macs from August:
https://twitter.com/markgurman/status/788856835465961473

I find it strange and a little worrisome that there's no reference to Touch ID in that article.


Although, that article does link to another article from even earlier, where it says that Touch ID will be present.

 

[heeloliver]

**** yeah. I get out of CS midterm 30 min before the event starts. It will be a good day.

 

[shareef777]

I wasn't whining I was telling people to keep it in their pants until an official announcement.

Are you saying you took it out of your pants now?

 

[harsh1592]

Returning my rMPB 13 today itself, excited for the upcoming!

They most likely will. My BTO 2012 took a month to deliver. And there wasn't as much delay/demand as this time around.

 

[WRONG]

This thread is pure gold and definitely part of the Mac rumors hall of fame.

Do you mean Rose gold?
Anyway, somewhere in the 1232 pages was suggested to print this thread as a book.
I like the idea.
Let's do it.

original Mac intro - Hello
iMac intro - Hello ( Steve Jobs came back and we got the iMac)

This invite : Hello *again* !!

Thats a pretty epic statement. I don't think skinnier MacBooks and an oled bar will cut it. I really hope its just not marketing hyperbole.

 

[rentmjol]

I wonder which one of the three prototypes made the final cut

 

[Phatalbert1000]

The text has been nicely explained.
Can some of you geniuses further speculate on what's going on with the logo? Is that water? Smoke? What's with the specific colors?
I think the black signifying OLED (bar) is an interesting thought...

 

[poorcody]

That Apple logo in the invite keeps reminding me of a fusion reaction... A10 Fusion anybody?

 

[Jorok94]

Hi there! So, my first post here! Been keeping up with this thread a looong time as well. Thursday, when they announce the MacBook Pro's, is it likely that they will be sold out in a couple of minutes/hours/days? How has this been the previous times?

Its the Apple logo, displayed by an OLED screen, underneath the screen there is a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (smoke etc.)
