Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

WWDC would mean 460+ days between updates. That's almost two cycles. They should have given the MBP a spec bump in Dec/Jan if they were going to wait that long.
I don't know about that one, look at what happened with Haswell and Broadwell, yet they didn't really suffer for this. Now for some reason they're insistent on holding us back with these gen 4 (atleast on the 15th inch).

Exactly. It's a damn shame.
Skylake and Iris are having a lot of issues on the Surface, I rather a devices come out working than having a device with bugs for months.
So when would Kaby Lake processors suitable for the 13" rMBP become available? If they don't upgrade to Skylake until June (or worse, Fall), will it be outdated within a matter of months?
One thing for sure, that keynote really didn't impress the market ... :
And I truly hope for a 13" skylake and TB3 before June, my 2010 15" is dying !

Well, it looks like it's time for the next step in my survival package
I can see their vision about replacing laptops with more portable devices.
It is appealing, but it will take years before it can be reality.... until then it would be nice if they kept supporting people who actually need real computers and laptops to work, study, code etc...
Little done with Apple. No updates rMbp.... In the Netherlands no Siri on Apple TV, no Apple Pay,no news app. What's wrong there in Cupertino ?
Oh f u Apple!!! Just take out your stupid prideful head out of your ass! Seriously no mac line at all... Kind of keynote was this?? I usually ignore when other people say it's a yawn fest but this... Im really done waiting! Sorry guys i just can't wait anymore... I guess i have to move on to xps or razer sigh..
This is interesting:
This is the front of the dutch Apple store.
"De PC voorbij. Nu in twee maten" has two meanings. It means: iPad's passed the pc, in two sizes.
(Passed in the sence of a race)
Or, PC's are done/over. Now get an iPad, available in two sizes. Implying that it's replacing PC's.
Unfortunately, I think they mean both.

I think Apple reads that more like:
"Our mac line isn't selling well? Better triple down on iPad development."
I hate to admit it but, as the for profit company Apple is, I see their reasoning for this.
It gets to the point then where they have to choose what kind of technology company they want to be. On the cutting edge of innovation, targeted towards professionals? Or, the producer of quality products for the casual user.
In the past it seems like Apple has been the former, simply allowing that technology to trickle down to the rest of their products. Now, they seem to be leaning more towards the latter.
Don't give up hope on the MacBook segment just yet.
Apple just last year introduced a brand new product in that segment, dangerously close to the power and usability of an iPad, the retina MacBook. That product had a ton of innovation, which means Apple has long term plans to keeping laptops around.
WWDC here we come. This is going to be the longest spring ever. But that's okay because I need to save money anyway

Looks like Apple will need a four hour event to catch up at WWDC. Perhaps back-to-back video's showing Ive introducing redesigns for every mac.
Hope you don't have any sleeping meds in there yet - Night Shift may help you sleep better.
So much these.
I would like to remember, once again, that the 15" suitable Broadwell CPUs were introduced two weeks after its "update".
So at this point, if doesn't come up some kind of surprise, Apple had one year to fully upgrade its computer.
One year.
And I'll prevent those who are gonna say "but they did upgrade SSD and Force Touch and a crappy rebranded dGPU!"
Yes, but I don't see how is it so impossible to ask for a decent, full upgrade of a product.
Not just a part of this and a part of that.
Full upgrade.
I really feel like Apple is taking the piss of us.
