True, it usually does, but Apple is just phoning it home with OS X these days, so I'm not getting my hopes up for anything. Knowing Apple, they'll probably just add Siri and not much else.
Got a tip for us?

And I bet you can say "hey Siri show me my mouse pointer" as an alternate to shake to make huge pointer.

"Hey Siri, slow my machine down to a crawl so I can see the beachball!"
Oh wait, it'll just do that for me automatically! Now THAT'S a feature!
The smart cookies over at Anandtech identified that the amount of vram allocatable to iris has changed rather substantially:
If Apple can allocate additional vram they can use thats more of a reason to include additional RAM perhaps in 32 and 64 GB flavors =]
After all 5k display is quite hungry =]
Code:
Current: Intel® Core™ i7-4770HQ | Graphics Video Max Memory 2 GB | 2015 rMBP
Future: Intel® Core™ i7-6770HQ | Graphics Video Max Memory 64 GBIf Apple can allocate additional vram they can use thats more of a reason to include additional RAM perhaps in 32 and 64 GB flavors =]

If the prototype serban mentioned is correct, .68"-.61" inches for 15" MBP. It would seem unlikely to fit a quad-core CPU and a dGPU. Though Razer did it in a 14" .70" though that had major compromises in battey life, fans, and heat. Its possible apple has done some fancy voo doo. But I think unlikely the 15" will be getting a dGPU now, sorry everyone.
so did the 1 prototype they locked in on, include full size usbA
maybe not, I am having a lot of fun guessing at what serban does. But seems he only has access to external factors / properties. He doesn't seem to have internal details. maybe he works with a company that makes cases for MBPs or creates packaging for the MBPs. something that knowing the dimensions of a product is necesary
what do you mean final Macs? or new ones 4 years from now? are you suggesting this is the final redesign? Apple is done making Macs?
New Macs mean new "design" and "reveal" videos, can't wait
The current 15" is 0.71 inches tall, so that means at the rear of the laptop we are at minus 0.03". Less space yes, but they could fit a dGPU in there especially if they use a Polaris part with lower TDP than the old Cape Verde part they have in there now. Also, they could make the display assembly thinner, so there may about the same room for cooling after all.
I think that based on the context, Serban means these are the final design for the new Macs, not the final Macs ever.
Yes, 5-6months after announcement of 13" mbp in oct 2012 we started to see lot of prototypes,so we kind of knew that apple in the next upcoming years wants or at least have in mind a new redesign macs. So, after releasing these, i think if apple wants again a some kind of redesign or new materials etc we will see by the end of the year some prototypes again
This is what i meant.
This is what i meant.
you are asking me that knows every inch of this product to be objective, from my personal view yes i can distinguish it easy, but like i said im used to it by now. But we are talking silver current 2015 model with silver upcoming model yes? kidding or maybe not. But there even more distinguish in other prototype model that is far more different, but i think it has lower chances

[doublepost=1462779573][/doublepost]since they aren't in mass production..

maybe because of the cpu from intel ?!

I think that emoticons gave me the answer I wanted
Without going off topic here can you comment on the Mac Pro at all? Should be we expect something at WWDC? A new design or just a spec bump?you are asking me that knows every inch of this product to be objective, from my personal view yes i can distinguish it easy, but like i said im used to it by now.

If Apple is going to release a space grey or a silver edition, it will be really hard to decide which one I will buy. For my taste, silver is already the perfection in combination with the black keyboard. But I also prefer the current look of the new thin macbooks...
BTW, guys, do you prefer the current MacBook Pro keyboard or the new ones - butterfly keyboard?

Some things that I would be interesting in hearing is if the new MacBook Pro will take some of the more distinguishing design features of the MacBook, such as the mirrored Apple logo (instead of an illuminated one) and the all aluminum hinge (instead of the black plastic clutch cover). I would assume that they would have both, but you never know.
@Serban Will their be anything magnetic about the new MacBook Pro?

Hmm...very interesting. Thanks for replying. I guess that means that the illuminated Apple logo in going away. iFor anyone like me who isn't too familiar with the back of the iMac...
The current rMBP is nice, but a little 'loose' and not very snappy. The MB keyboard doesn't have enough key travel to be comfortable for most people writing texts/articles/essays.
The keyboard on the new Magic Keyboard is the perfect middle ground and would love to see that in the new rMBP. It doesn't have as much key travel as the rMBP now, but it feels very solid, snappy and consistent.
If I had to take a wild guess at what Serbans answer means, the new rMBP will have the butterfly mechanism found in the MB and MagicKeyboard, but will not have the same key travel as the MB. This suggests that the new rMBP keyboard might be the same as the Magic Keyboard.
It makes sense since its the newest keyboard mechanism Apple released.
There haven't been any updates to the Mac line since the butterfly mechanism came out, so Apple hasn't had the opportunity to implement the mechanism across the board.
I've said it before, but now I am even more confident that the new MacBook Pro will have the same keyboard as the Magic Keyboard.
So be ready for a treat at WWDC.
