Call Apple and see what they say. They will usually replace the battery for free if it dips below 80% at under 1000 charge cycles. Sometimes batteries are just a crap shoot though, and the health indicators don't seem very accurate to me either. I have a 5 year old battery at exactly 900 charge cycles right now, and it usually fluctuates between 75% and 85% health all of the time
Apple's statements about battery life are complete lies. Their testing must involve having only one Safari tab open and nothing else, with the screen brightness cranked down to minuscule levels. When my MBP was new, their estimates said I could expect 7-8 hours, and I never got more than 4-4.5 if I was lucky. Nowadays, I'll be lucky to get those 3 hours.

You put it in a time-out like a naughty child and then threaten to take away all of its networking privileges.

I've sold 4 Mac computers in the last 5 years and over $9,000 worth of misc tech hardware locally through craigslist.
In my experience, no, Mac hardware does not "tank" as much as you may think it does.
Right now, I can get $1,550 if I were to sell my 2015 15in to a hardware buying site... Which is my backup plan if the $1,800 street price for a 2015 $2,500 (before taxes) model does "tank" more than anticipated.

Here in Germany the delivery is one day for all models, even the maxed out configs.
Beautiful concept, but there is a thing that seriously scary me.
The function commands.
If I'm using Siri and suddenly I need the Esc key? Or the mute button? Or else?
I hope this OLED bar will be very reactive.
Still quite doubtful about it.
Meanwhile, tonight I've dreamed the presentation of the new MBP.
My God, I'm becoming obsessed...
That's a good point about the functions. You want those functions to always be immediately accessible. I can see them keeping those keys. Then the OLED bar can sit above that.
In Spain shipping times have slipped to June 20–22 as soon as you change the processor or storage for the dGPU model.
Similar in Switzerland, but I don't find that abnormally long.. Does this actually mean anything, or is it a red herring..?!
I am almost positive that the chassis leak showed the OLED bar completely replacing the function keys and not just sitting above it.
The BTO - Models are available in 1 day. Yeah if i configure the best CPU in the dGPU models and increase the SSD Size to 1TB, then the Shipping date also change to 16-20 June. But hey, i saw that more often in the last year so that is something not that "abnormal"...
But with the upcoming WWDC there is some hope.

I only get 3-5 workdays for rMBP and 2-4 workday for Mac Pro full maxed out.
So how did you get so long shipping days?
You guys, you're only setting yourself up to be massively disappointed at WWDC.
This thread has seen plenty of mass hysteria since it's inception, just chill and wait for HW updates in the fall, like a leaks point to.

Aren't Apple Watch bands technically hardware stuff? I mean, they will present SW (iOS/OSX) and HW (bands) at WWDC
Red Herring. Check out shipping times for BTO on www.apple.com/cn. BTO rMBPs still deliver *before* Monday/WWDC.
I guess there's an outside chance the current form factor will continue to be sold for a little while at lower cost while the radically new rMBP sits alongside - you can still buy the cMBP after all. In that case shipping times of the current models won't give us a clue.
Odds are however that lack of delays is a big clue that there will be no announcement (last year the 15" BTO were delayed by 2-3 weeks prior to the mid-2015 refresh).
If Apple did sell the new rMBPs alongside the old design, how do you think they'd differentiate? "MBP with retina 4k/5k Display" anyone?
We all went through this in march. Don't do this to yourself
It's highly unlikely that we're going to see updated MBPs at WWDC.

Le'ts assume that it won't be WWDC. Then when would it be?
If i knew that, then i'd be taking my spot as Gurman's successor at 9to5mac, instead of gossiping about it here ^_^

What happened in the last few days that turned the consensus from "definitely at WWDC" to "definitely not"? I haven't been following, did something contradict the rumor re Q4 launch etc.?
Both Gurman and Rene Ritchie dropped heavy hints (in fact almost explicit references) to the fact that we won't see any hardware updates at WWDC. According to them, it'll be centred entirely on software
Mark Gurman said that WWDC will be software only and Gurman is pretty trustworthy.
But old rumors said new 13" 15" Mac were coming at WWDC.
I'm quite confused.
Well, only 6 more days!
No, just no.
The last thing we need is yet another notebook line from Apple to sell concurrently with old, outdated technology. They need to bring back more simplicity into the MacBook Family. We currently have MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Pro with Retina Display. I hope that they don't decide to pile on yet another model. Instead, they need to start discontinuing things, namely the MacBook Pro (sans Retina) and the MacBook Air, in order to trim up the line up and reduce the number of different models available. They should only be selling the MacBook, as their consumer option, and the next-gen MacBook Pro sans cumbersome suffix phrases, as their pro option.
I'm not a big fan of them continuing to sell two to three generations old products just because it's cheaper. It kind of goes again the whole high-end, state of the art tech thing that they have cultivated. They should only be selling fresh, current things IMO.
(If I was the CEO of Apple, the first thing I'd do is pull a Steve Jobs, start removing all of those unnecessary products, and then I would bring back the old quadrant for the Mac. Then I'd ban anyone from putting a HDD into a Mac ever again.)
Aside from my 2009 MBP hope is all I haveWe all went through this in march. Don't do this to yourself

I suppose there's also my wife, kids, house, job, health etc but you know what I mean
