Given KGI's latest report, it's missing any hint of a RAM upgrade do we all think they're gonna stick to 16gb?
We have to remember though that the original 2012 retinas came with dGPU standard in order to drive the retinas. When they introduced Iris Pro as the standard (with worse perf than the dGPU base model before it) the price went along as well.
Atleast thats the case with the 15", but the price of the 13" dropped at the same time even though the 13" retina had been out for much shorter time (released in Late 2012).
I think the days of $1499 and $2199 base prices are over with. Apple will probably give us low end base specs (128/8GB & 256/16GB) to keep the price reasonable and then charge arm+leg for everything else.
It'd be cool if the Magic Toolbar can play music through headphones / speakers with the laptop sleeping.
I had some piss-poor version of that feature on a laptop I owned in the early 2000's. There was a pre-os environment that would play directly from the CD-ROM tray.
You know, if the trackpad has Apple Pencil support, it would make more sense for Apple to replace the headphone jack with a Lightning port in the MacBook Pro too.
So pls no pencil support
So pls no pencil support
Yes. I don't think they will change anything RAM wise. The 13 will ship with 8gb the 15 with 16gb anything else BTO.
There's no way Apple is going to add Pencil support. Like I said, no hover, and also the whole point of the Pencil was reduced parallax and seeing the ink under like a real pencil / pen.
To everybody already stocking USB-C accessories: Be cautious, as they might just destroy your new MBP. The Verge is reporting.
You rang?
And what's with iMacs not being ready? It's just going to be MBA and the MBA (which sounds like a minor update)? I'm not complaining, but I sympathize with those waiting for the other products. I wonder if we'll get anything that we haven't heard a rumor for? Any surprise would be nice.

Don't think the Kabylake chips are ready.
Just heard that they aren't coming out with MacBook Pro's either at the event..... said no one ever!
@volcomvenom listen to me yo, no, no don't even...NOT EVEN A JOKE.
I've been through too much. Don't play with my little heart. Almost broke when I read the first line...
Whatever dGPU they put in has always triggered heat, fan and reduced battery life. In fact, probably not enough fan and cooling because the failure rates have always been much higher on Macs with a dGPU. Battery life is why we have the intelligent switching to the integrated graphics when you are on battery and aren't doing anything intensive that needs the dGPU.
That would ROCK! You know everyone would "LOVE" it!
I started lurking mac rumors forums daily in April 2015. It almost feels unreal that we're finally so close.
Here's to new watch bands, and a musical performance!

Cheers mate! You know we can't wait for the new kangaroo leather watch bands.
[doublepost=1477193371][/doublepost]So what thread do we all go after this one closes next Thursday (God Willing)?
There should be a "Waiting for Skylake MBP PTSD group therapy" thread.
It would really help me in healing.
I seriously hope there is time set aside for a new winter collection of bands. I'm a bit of an addict collecting these things, and I want more bands!!!!!
Macs, Air Pods going on sale the same day as the new Macs, and lots of new bands, my credit card is ready.
