Last year's was nearly 2.5 hours. With new products to support, like Apple Watch, Music, iPad Pro, Apple TV, etc. events are going to get longer. There's a lot to talk about.
Got a tip for us?

Did a freelance video project this week and uggghhh, my 2010 MBP just couldn't keep up. Being creative when your machine sucks really isn't easy. I should've bought a new one so many times now, but Skylake keeps lurching right over the horizon. I NEED IT NOW.
Very happy to see Serban's information.
I won't go into specifics, but Serban was one of the first to provide reliable information on the new Retina MacBook last spring (2015), if I recall correctly. Unless it was just pure luck back then I think the new MacBook Pro's are actually happening.
I think the new MBPs are happening regardless of Serban's information. There are enough rumors from Digitimes, etc. that we can expect that.
Regarding Serban's info on the rMB, this is a quote from December 10, 2014:
"I just received the 12" Macbook Air prototype and it's just again the perfect portable with 2.29 pounds and 0.2 to 1.6 cm thick
The display is what to expect an IPS panel made by LG
Broadwell cpu with dual 1.6 Ghz
The thickness is about as usb ports now...i think they will not make it even thinner with usb ports on it in the future"
Granted it was described as a prototype, but a lot of the specs were incorrect: it ended up weighing 2.03 lb and being 0.36 to 1.32 cm thick. And of course it did not have a 1.6 GHz Broadwell CPU, which would have implied a wholly different class of chips (15W U class chips) than the Core M chips it got.
Apple always testing more than one prototype for a new product design and all of them must be almost issues/bug free
Nevertheless Wwdc is around the corner
[doublepost=1462484261][/doublepost]iphone has for the first time i think, 4 prototypes in testing

Uhhh... You literally just pointed out the difference right there. 3D touch has an extra layer of sensitivity. That's why you can do different things by pressing harder or lighter. Force touch does not have that functionality.
3D touch is an improvement on force touch. That's why they're not the same and why I want Apple to bring it to the new trackpads.
Also, please post the sketches before my face implodes from suspense. Even if you have to draw them from memory and it looks like a 4 year old drew them. lol

Holy sh*t. Someone get this person
Force touch = 3D touch
Why?
Click = tap
Right click = long press
Force touch = 3D touch
The layer issues are purely software features that will most likely get picked up more in osx soon. But in osx force touch is bound to be limited as most apps wouldn't bother supporting it due to the fact that they still need to accommodate mouse users
Off topic, but needs to be said. I just got back from seeing Captain America: Civil War and it was awesome! Like seriously, so awesome. Both Black Panther and Spider-Man were badass. That is all, you may now continue rMBP discussions.
I just read the front page of MacRumors, about Apple needing more real estate to work on their Apple Car.
WTF ARE YOU DOING APPLE?
I remember seeing this exact thing happening before, when Apple failed. They're not focused on their products anymore...cars really? Why? Go start a conglomerate if you plan to do that. you can't release all these products under one company. Do what Google did! Apple was awesome when it made computers (yew phones/tablets are computers). but cars. No wonder they're releasing lacklustre designs.
Oh boy...jumping ship seems more real with each passing day.
WWDC better be blockbuster.

I still can't decide. I think it might depend on the guts. If the 16" has just a beast of a dGPU (compared to the iris 550) I might go for it. Otherwise I think I might like the portability of the 14" more. Easier to sit on a couch or bring with me to school/hospital
You're right. They should totally allocate more real estate to the MBP.
Forget the 16 inch. It's never gonna happen. Any saving in bezel will go in making the computer smaller.

Today, Nvidia will probably unveil the new GTX 1070 and 1080. I don't know if they will unveil any other mobile gpu but 1070 and 1080 are based on the new pascal architecture so maybe we will see some mobile cards.
The riddle on the countdown page was sent to US hardware magazines and it contains some kind of text that has connections to geforce. Also in there are scientists named like kepler which nvidia uses for project codenames. "Order of 10" probably hints that, like they said earlier, the pascal architecture will be 10x faster than maxwell.

Every source I consider reliable points to a Q3 update. It makes sense to release the new Macs the same time as a new version of OS X, but what doesn't make sense is the excruciating wait for new hardware.
Where should skylake Preorder chit chat be, should we make a new thread or leave it in this one.
I imagine this thread will become slight busy with any announcement, but I can't keep up with two rapid fire threads that probably consist of the same group of people lol

I think it's hard enough to follow the live stream AND read this blog, so let's keep it here. Same as you, I can't keep up with 2 threads haha
Two possibilities. Apple releasing new Macbook Pro:
-Next WWDC with macOS announcement.
-Fall keynote with macOS releasing.
And other that could irritate people that want to decide between both size screen. Like they did with first MacBook Pro with retina display, bigger display model at WWDC, and smaller display model at fall event...
Could someone merge both threads about incoming macbook pro(redesigned and skylake)? It would be a lot easier to follow the comments...
