Agreed, I think it will be used for the touchbar, but not for the main display.
Got a tip for us?

Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

I did. Over ebay. Arrived just yesterday. rMBP 15, late 2013, fully loaded. 900£, looks and acts as brand new. Battery is on 98% health (only 52 cycles).
Why did I do that? Look at the price. Look at it again
And then, I didn't plan on buying first gen of new product. No thanks. I already own rMB12, and usb-c is a complete mess at the moment. A complete mess. Not just on apple part, but on everyones part. From caldigit to anker.
So I plan on waiting for another year, then purchasing new MBP. Second gen.
Waiting will be a lot easier with this rMBP15 on my desk
I suggest you look at the price of that same model one week from now
[doublepost=1476969318][/doublepost]What if the Apple logo on the invite is actually what the back of the display will be like, dynamic colors, not just white? Is that even possible, ever?
There will be multiple threads probably for supper issues
(New Macs and screen drivers + random teething problems together with sierra bugs anyone?).
And accessories thread would be in a different section.
This thread can die like a Pheonix be reborn in the Kaby Lake thread
We definitely should. I'm feeling pretty lonely when watching Apple keynotes, no one around me gives a damn so I can't share my excitement.
I don't think so, there is so much more to MacRumors outside this thread.
Exactly why I say if they could fix these issues, to get a GOOD full OLED display would be revolutionary.
Yeah I'd imagine the iPhones and iPads would get OLED display before MacBooks.
OLED screens already are better than before and manufactures starting to put them in their laptops. It JUST need the right hand now and who is better than Apple in this..
but I still don't think they will do it..
What about AppleCare discounts in US? Also, thanks for the quick response! It's hard to find this information anywhere until the checkout LOL.
Now I may be off by a long shot and most folks could be right that Apples invite logo represents the 4 colours or there's a P3 display (which I think is a given). But this is my theory. The Apple fades into complete darkness, a perfect black - and this contrast can only be achieved on a full OLED display, which is what I think Apple is hinting at. Cmon people Apple has to move to OLED, and by 2020 it'll be too late (if there even is another revision). I think they have a few surprises under their sleeves, and OLED touchbars and Touch ID are very minor...otherwise they wouldn't use such an iconic invite slogan "hello again" - that changed the PC industry.
I could be completely wrong, but this is just my $0.02 on all the speculation.
I feel like I said this a few pages back, so yes I agree
So how much was the apple care with the student discount? Isn't it normally 3 years free cover as standard if you're a student?
What're the thoughts of the new MBP with existing TB display? Everything else is USB based and USB-A to USB-C adapters are dirt cheap (2x$5 on amazon). I can also pickup USB-C ethernet and display adapters, just don't know what options are available for the TB display. Anyone have any ideas?
Unless you get the 15 inch with the dGPU option (hopefully there is one), you won't be able to.
On a side note civ 6 needs a min 6gb of RAM for mac. (https://www.aspyr.com/games/sid-meier-s-civilization-vi)
Don't expect any integrated video card to play WOW on ultra. You need at least an nvidia 970m level card to play well on ultra (I have a 960m, can only play on medium settings on 1080p, around 50 fps).
I am actually excited to see a refreshed Air and iMac .
Also a 4K enabled Apple TV!

On older MBPs you could put an LCD behind the Apple logo. Bit of a modding gimmick but you can't do it on more modern machines due to space limits.

Gonna throw my overanalytical 2 cents in regarding the invite logo. The colors are presented with a smokey look. And where there's smoke, there's usually fire. Perhaps apple has come up with a revolutionary cooling system that will keep macs cool without that loud fan whine? What do you think?
I think you're reading a lot into it. It's quite probably to do with the colour OLED display, or a sharper 4k panel (Even P3).
By the way who's been waiting 3 years? I'm confused, they updated the MBP in 2012, so 1 year after that you were ready for a refresh design? They seem to refresh them about every 4 years (2012, 2008, 2006 original). So everything seems to be inline except we were expecting them in March.
I'm definitely going to get the 15 inch with dGPU. I hope it will be able to run WOW on ultra.
Oh my, I didn't even think of that. There's no reason it shouldn't work since all you're doing is connecting TB1 to TB3. We would need an adapter to bridge the different shapes in the port, of course.
