http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2016/10/21FY-16-Fourth-Quarter-Results-Conference-Call.html an update to the apple.com/pr website. I have been refreshing that site everyday.
AMD has no innovation going around. Look at the new Nvidia 10 series chipsets, there's hardly anything that comes close to it. But I wouldn't mind even a 50% as good AMD in the MBP.
For me it'd be CUDA support.
RX460 is faster than GTX 1050 and there won't be faster GPU in MBP due to thermal constraints.
EDIT: Just checked it out, RX460 has lower TDP than GTX 1050. I see no suitable nVidia offering for rMBP '16.
Which software utilises CUDA on macOS? Most apps support OpenCL (at least as far as I know).
Adobe, Autodesk, etc. They'll support OpenCL too, but CUDA outperforms.
Dave2D speculates that the trackpad is compatible with Apple Pencil, 2 USB-C on the left will support TB3, same resolution screen.

For my own use it's mainly Adobe software and DaVinci Resolve. Apps may support OpenCL, sure, but CUDA offers superior performance from my experience and it's been the dominant API for quite some time now. If I were heavily invested in Final Cut Pro (I'm not anymore) then I'd prefer AMD, but Apple let that ship sail a long time ago.
It's also my preference for Nvidia because they're flat out better performing GPUs than AMD in a wider variety of situations. It's a bit of a shame Nvidia doesn't really offer low-TDP mobile cards for Pascal right now.
Parallels is a rip off, use Fusion.. VMware is such a better company, they make a better product and don't try to nickel n dime you like Parallels
Bigger trackpad is a given. Like they did with MB.Guys. Was taking a look at the Chassis leaks of the rMBP.
Now if they're true, has anyone noticed how the trackpad is around a third bigger? See how the right side of the track pad finishes halfway under the right alt key, and the left side of it finishes around halfway through the left side alt key? Look at current rMBPs and compare.
Could this mean Apple pencil support?
I'm hoping that the redesigned 13' rMBP is as light as the current MBA. The current weight of almost 1.6kg is far too high when compared to say the XPS 13.
Problem is it's now too big and you will touch it by accident all the time.
Doesn't matter what model.

That render is like tears-of-joy-worthy. It's...so...beautiful...
That thing is going to be backordered until January.
Pretty big bezels no?
Looks much like the current gen with MacBook keyboard to me.
Yeah the actual bezels of a non-render and final product better be a little smaller.

Good job D2D, that's a lot of work just for a rumor. I'm still on the fence, have not bought a PC for personal home use since 2000. Very happy with my MacBook, might get a Dell Precision for all my Adobe work if this rMBP is a little too forward. I have a 2016 MacBook and it's very hard to find good USB-c peripherals and I cannot even connect my external OWC thunderbolt drive bays.. been trying to back up my MacBook to my Time Capsule for 6 months.. nearly 2tb of data including my external drive and it's not working.. sorry but Apple is so busy pushing the envelope that it's pushing out half baked solutions.. where is the USB-C to gigabit Ethernet adapter? Where is the USB-C to thunderbolt adapter? USB-C to lightening? Why does the MacBook ship with a charging only cable? (Tried to imitate target disk mode between two MacBooks with the supplied USB-c cable) And you have to buy (according to Apple Support) a Belkin USB-C cable that actually supports data along with charging? Go stump your local genius with that one.. I did at Santa Monica store. I wanna be excited but after owning the MacBook for 6 months, I'm very nervous about the rMBP with only USB-C. You wanna take all our ports Apple? Then make the correct adapters up front!! And don't ship worthless charge only cables, that is so insulting. So I just purchased a lightening to SD reader Apple, will I need to buy a lightening to USB-c or will it require a SD reader to USB-c or how about some supplied therapy after having to buy 6 different adapters just to satisfy your cost cutting of ports? What a mess you are Apple, major disconnects going on... really think it should come with a lightening port so we can use our iPad adapters. Apple is supposed to care for the environment, millions of adapters for different ports are not good - do away with lightening on all devices and make everything USB-c, don't go cheap on the charging cable and make us have to buy 2 - not great for the environment.
Bottom line is they are boxed up and on their way to stores or close to that.. I'll
Be stateside during Nov so will go have a look at a Apple Church.

Some guy wrapped it in a bunch of clothes and left it in direct sunlight in a car all day in Australia. Despite this, he arrived back to his car fully burnt out, located the phone (which was in the blaze) and placed blame on it. It's a sensationalist story that can not be corroborated yet.
Also, unrelated but I posted this in another thread. I really think there's a chance Apple is going to go hybrid A10 + Intel x64 soon. It's only natural.

Guys. Was taking a look at the Chassis leaks of the rMBP.

I was aware of the larger trackpad, but what's new to me is how thin the display hinge on the new chassis.
I dont think we'll see an ARM version of the MacBook Pro anytime soon. However, I'd almost be willing to bet that we will see a MacBook Air (or MacBook) powered by an A10X or something like it. This would be a great low cost, low weight laptop for college students and those that don't need much power.
On another note, it's a little odd that we haven't seen more hardware leaks. You'd think the new Macs would be in mass production right now (especially if Apple ends up launching them immediately after the event). At this point a lot of the details about the new Macs are still unknown (other than the OLED bar).
I think volume production of MBPs is so much lower than the iPhone that it's easier to control leaks across a smaller number of manufacturing sites. Just a guess, though.
I think it's the guys fault that his phone "exploded" because he left it in the heat under clothes. I don't believe that it's like the Note 7 in any way for a faulty battery.
Just watched part of the first MacBook Air introduction. I miss Steve so much.
