Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

Yeah... I was wondering that. Wasn't @Serban supposed to send out a PM of the photo? Even though the notepad got ****ed up, he could at least send it to a couple of people here. All we got was just more text from him
Great point about the MacBook pro w/ Retina Display being treated as a seperate product. I remember Schiller adding it to the lineup instead of replacing the MacBook Pro with it. Darn, my hopes for a Skylake 2012 rMBP have been crushed.
I second that since @Fandrei seems to be the only one who's mentioned the photos at all in this thread. And he's been a member since yesterday with the couple of posts about the photos being the only posts he's made. Just saying...

I'm sure it'll be a great product and live up to our expectations, so you won't miss the old design... well, hopefully. If Apple has made us wait for this long only to present an inferior product, people might go crazy.
Going off the leak of the chassis, it seems like it probably won't. Just USB-C. There are some odd gaps suggesting some ports may not have been milled yet so there is a slim chance.
Apple decided to release an updated 15" MBP before Broadwell chips were even announced. They clearly didn't feel that they could update the processor. If they had waited until quad core Broadwell chips suitable for the MBP were available and in volume, people would have been even madder that they already were. Apple couldn't make a decision that was satisfying to everyone; they were damned if they did and damned it they didn't.
I'm naive? Please don't be insulting. The fact is that they did a silent update before Broadwell chips were available, probably because they didn't want to wait for Intel anymore. Broadwell chips were available for the 13" on time and they used them, didn't they? If Intel hadn't been farting around for as long as they did and released the processor on time, then Apple probably would have used them in the 15". I've given this tons of thought and there are more reasons than just money. It think it's a little more multi-faceted that what you are portraying.
Again, this is MacRumors. What do you expect? People to endlessly trash them?
Intel has screwed a lot of companies. They've been screwing nearly all Windows OEMs with faulty Skylakes. They're on track to screw over Apple and Window OEMs in 2017 with Kabylake. If we do get a MacBook Pro this year...the next update won't be till late 2017. SurfaceBook 2 won't be releasing till next year cause of Kabylake. Intel needs to get their **** together.
In my bones I feel that we will see 14 inch and 16 inch MBP. Same footprint, smaller bezels. Only 14 at WWDC. Marginally thinner of course and marginally lighter. Performance won't change much but battery life will be one hour better. Display will be same resolution (Apple will tell you when you need 4K) but will be wider colour gamut and trutone like the ipads.
MBP 16 will, if you pay them enough, have Polaris and be on a par with a PC with a 970M chip that is about to become obsolete once Pascal ships. It will be a very good laptop all things considered but sadly will not change the world...
There, how does that stack up? Sorry my English is bad, it is my 17th language and I don't want to be sacked

All this talk of buying Apple hardware made me want to make a purchase. So, I just used the $250 discount via BestBuy's Deals on their EDU site and ordered me a 128GB iPad Pro. 
At least now I'll have a new toy to bide me over until the MBP comes out later in the year.

Those seem like realistic predictions and I'd be happy if they became true, though I think you're being slightly too optimistic thinking we'll get an announcement at WWDC! Everyone is unfortunately saying that it won't be until September, though considering the million and one things they're supposedly going to announce in September, that event is gonna be around 3 hours long.
Yeah, it seems ridiculous - even if they spend a small amount of time on each thing (which I can't imagine them doing - in the past they've spent ages recapping what they said about the new version of iOS back at WWDC) it'd be ridiculously long. Considering they essentially dedicate events to new Apple Watch bands, announcing so much stuff in one event seems quite un-Apple!
Though I fear that once they realised it'd be too long, the new MBP would be one of the first things they decide to delay - they certainly would prioritise the iPhone 7, Watch 2 and iOS 10, as they're more marketable and would likely have bigger sales.
I don't care no, and I also now when people are full of it. I also now those who are not and they don't post on this forum.
...or apple could spend some of their billions making their own chips for OS..problem solved...
If they can't fit it into an event, they can just give us a press release. We don't need them to show it off on stage and tell us how great it is. We can figure that out ourselves. I'd rather they do that and have it out during July/August when there traditionally hasn't been an Apple event than to have to wait for them to squash it into the September iPhone event.
V hard, every apps must be compatible with those new chips, even so osx has less conpatible apps than windows and microsoft will make windows to be compatible with those new chips to run bootcamp?!?! V hard
