Monday prediction: Apple Watch Bands and new iPads.

One More Thing announcement: Apple Macintosh division sold off to Dell, Dell refreshes current SKUs to "Mid 2016" versions without changing specs, price increase to 2x MSRP, $15 dollar starbucks gc included with every Mac purchase.

Half kidding. Sticking to my "Haswell for Skylake" theory.
They should sell to AMD instead because they could still call it AMD (apple mac division). Great point, I know.
 
If you guys had a choice, refreshed Macbook Pros with Skylake announced tomorrow, OR Redesigned Macbook Pros with Skylake in June?

I'd go with refresh tomorrow, since I don't think the rMBP really needs a redesign, but of course there many who will want a redesign.

Frankly, I hope that if they do a redesign, they do a 2012 move and do a one last refresh with the current rMBPs with Skylake, then sell it along side the redesigned MBP with Skylake.

You might as well try asking an alcoholic if he would like a shot of whisky right now or go dry for a week and get a barrels worth, as far as I'm concerned :p

I'm not asking for much, Tim.
Just announce a Skylake 15" Pro and I'll be over the moon.
Please?
Throw us a bone!
I mean, look at us. Take pity, we're pathetic.
Just...okay?



This thread will surely turn into a suicide hotline in about 14 hours.

Atleast announce it please.

I really dont need to see the actual product

just show us the god damn video about it and tell as the specs

I'll preorder right away

Tomorrow!

Yeah, I don't care if its just a spec bump (with usb c tb/3)

The current design is still better (at least in my opinion) than other laptops out there.

Skylake cpu with 30 min to 1 hour extra battery life is enough to empty out my bank account

I hope they wont update the lineup tomorrow (hardly any evidence they will) but wait till late summer/fall and give us a swivelable screen, 4TB hdd space, 32/64gb ram, 4k displays with 14", 16", 18" options, 2 or 3 regular USB3 inputs, 2 or 3 TB3 inputs, 3d touch built into the whole screen of cause.
 
Tomorrow refresh would be fine with me. I've just been in the market for a new macbook/laptop since December and haven't been able to justify getting the current WAY too outdated models.

that still wont happen. dream on...
 
For everyone who needs fodder for their anger tomorrow.
rMBP 13" is on day 378 ......the WWDC is day 462
rMBP 15" has been stuck on haswell for 600 days.....the WWDC would make that 684 days

The redesign either has to be amazing OR apple can go **** themselves

Dude. All I want is a sliver of information regarding what is going on in the MBP labs @ Apple.

At the 1hr 29min 59sec mark (assuming its a 90min event), Tim Cook could be walking off stage, when they flash a "4th gen MBP in June" slide for 1 second or less. Even a "F*ck it, just keep using your old MBPs, we don't give a sh*t," would be okay, b/c I've got money burning a hole in my pocket regardless.

Definitely a refresh tomorrow (today, here!). If there is no 'redesign' as such and there were no colour options, I will still buy one immediately. Obviously, my preference would be that they offer the anodised colours like the rMB.
 
That scaling thing had confused me for years. So you run at 900p and then upscale to 1800p? (makes no sense) or downscale the 1800p to 900p...

It's more simple than that, you got 2880x1800 panel, and OS X just do a 200% scale so everything is bigger like it woud be on a 900p screen but you keep the 1800p DPI and therefore the quality.

A slightly more complex version of the latter. 2560x1600 gets downscaled to something like 1680x1050 (not 2x but getting there) and the 'extra' dpi used for smoothing.

June. Redesign all the way.

However, I intuitively predict that the redesigned MacBook Pro will be announced this year, and will be announced at an 'irregular' event outside of March or June. Im hoping for as early as May but could also be within a Few months proceeding June.

I'll return and quote my post to show everyone when it turns out that I'm right.

we still have 12 hours. 5 pages will be easy. Not to mention the fact that this will become a live chat room before and during the Keynote, then the long discussion afterwards as we share our excitement or grief about the 2016 rMBPs. (Hopefully its the former.)

It'll probably be 320 by the end of tomorrow.
 
Latest:
We probably will have a 13" NMB.
With the skylake i5/i7 that should be used for MBA.
With the 12" NMB design.
But with thinner version of MBP square outlook to fit the fan and battery.
Not sure about the color yet.
Period.
