"Focus on software" does equal "no hardware." Timmy can spend 90 minutes talking about software and the remaining talking about the snappy new MPB that you can use to operate (and develop) that software.
I much prefer the new darknet rumours. Could we have some more of those please?
I believe watching paint dry is marginally more interesting than what happened in March
Whenever Apple wants. There's nothing stopping Apple from having an event in July or August but themselves. If it releases in September, then they'll announce it with the iPhone and whatever else comes out. If it comes out in October, they'll have an event in October for it.
With a version of El Capitan that supports it.
Everyone should prepare for no announcement. It would be great if Apple surprised us, but the general media consensus is that they won't. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
My guess would b October or November, it's not like they have a pattern to follow with their laptop releases...
No new laptop for me then fine, I'll set my current model up as a desktop setup and grab me an iPad Pro 9.7"

Actually Intel screwed it all up to begin with. They messed up broadwell release so badly, they have now ditched their Tick Tock cycle!

It'd be nice to see one of these end up in an iMac. Even a GTX 1070 for notebooks would be worth it.
I thought this day couldn't get much worse, but November is hauntingly far away... I've convinced a friend to cope without a computer at uni until it's announced, but coping for three full months would be awful. Please not November, Apple...

True, but the note that it'll be "light on new hardware announcements in general" suggests that they won't even update the minor stuff, never mind dedicate 20 minutes to a MBP announcement.
Sooo is everybody still looking forward to Serbans pm tomorrow?
Is it just me or is Cook over-over-overexaggerating at around 1:50:00 and sounds really weird like on the verge of having a stroke?
Absolutely insane that we're nearly confirmed for no hardware at WWDC. Rene Ritchie is saying the same thing "for WWDC, think software".
Three year old Mac Pro. 5 year old TB Display. Woefully outdated and behind the curve MBP line. Who matters? Not the pros, ever.

Yeah as I said they don't have any real pattern to follow anymore, Apple can literally launch new laptops when they feel like it as it's been so long now since the last update. The main thing throwing a spanner in the works is no mention from AMD about the new Polaris 11 mobile GPU's, and I don't Nvidia have announced any new laptop GPU's based on their new technology either.
But then again they may ditch the dGPU all together.
There is a power limit for USB-C. As far as I can remember they have an upper threshold of 100W, which means that USB-C could power even the most power hunger of MacBook Pro's. The 15" has an 85W MagSafe charger, which is comfortably under that limit.
They use the honor system. Anyone can go online and order from the educational store even if they aren't a student. Sure, that may be wrong ethically speaking, and I am sure it's abused a lot, but they have always been pretty open with it regardless.
The real thing that will suck is having to live in a dorm. Yuck.
After looking at the leaked top case, it seems as if the smaller model has the same dimensions (sans thickness). This means that in order to reduce the bezels they will have to bump up the screen size to a 14".
After getting my hopes up in March for nothing, and same for WWDC, it feels like we'll get to September and then the headlines will be "Skylake MacBook Pros launching Q3 2017"... the Skylake MacBook Pro has become almost mythical at this point, with so many rumours yet no actual product.
Yes, wait what is a pm?Sooo is everybody still looking forward to Serbans pm tomorrow?
Phil Schiller @ 23:16, referring to Mac updates: "Nobody turns over their entire line as quickly and completely as we do at Apple. We're really proud of the engineering team and the work they do, to do this quick [sic], so you can get the exact product you need."
It's nice that they felt that way in 2012, but my how times have changed in four years. Thankfully this video provides some hope that there will be a hardware refresh at this year's WWDC; it's high time.

Promising Memorandum

This waiting-period-feelings really move as waves. There are 10 pages of people getting real excited, then 10 pages of "i dont't know.. i-m worried it will not come at wwdc" and then few pages of literal anger at Apple. And then some rumor comes and everybodies happy again.
Okay... let me express my anger also - Goddamnet Tim, where the hell is my MBP. I bet i can plan, try and have a real baby faster then you can a give us a little piece of new hardware.. goddamnet.
Silverlining - if there will be no MBP at wwdc.. at least my baby will have some nice watchbands to play with.

Plot Twist: At WWDC they will unveil the long awaited PowerBook G5 in order to make the current, stale MacBook Pro's look much better in comparison.
Just trust me...I've got sources.
