I just noticed something watching the introduction of the 2012 rMBP's at the 2012 wwdc they adapted or implemented features of the macbook air into the rMBP's. And now in 2016 4 years later they will adapt or implement the features of the rMB into the 2016 rMBP's (truly we shall see).
[doublepost=1465439876][/doublepost]@kevinkyoo I forgot to mention they replaced the entire screen too because the tint was peeling off.
[doublepost=1465440802][/doublepost]Anyone down to leak any info if the new rMBP's are going to be announced on Monday?

What features are you referring too?

You guys crack me up
 
I think that we are in for a jam packed WWDC this year. This is the reason why I think Apple announced the changes coming to the App Store this fall today. These changes are things that will primarily be concern developers and will impact how their monetize their apps, so it would have made perfect sense to announce it at the keynote on Monday...but they did it today instead. Perhaps the keynote is going to have so much stuff baked in that they needed to do some of these things before. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part.
 
New hardware will be revealed at wwdc. Who wants to bet on it? Paypal only.
[doublepost=1465446624][/doublepost]How many hours is the keynote?

They promise a performance gain of that, yes. We will have to see if architecture improvements make the gap larger than it may seem.

The article makes it sound like 1-1.25 tflops period though, not a gain of 1-1.25 over the current one
 
CTO models in german Apple store are shipping 20-22th June. Usually was more like 3-5 days extra. US store is 16th, not sure if that's normal though.

Mmm.. Slow loading on the buy page and a 2 week delivery for CTO (changed storage on the base model) in the UK. I'm getting the itch...

Hi, just checked the Aus site and delivery on a standard rMBP 13" is now for the 14th June.......... it could be because there is a public holiday here Monday though.

I suppose we can see delivery dates slip tomorrow, if new mbp's are announced ?

And again those "delivery dates" are on the map.
Like in march? Where everybody was like "YISSSS rMBP IS COMING BECAUSE OF SLIPPING DELIVERY DATES"
Well. No. What happened? Nothing. It was just due to a weekend.
So just forget those darn delivery dates of every CTO/ BTO whateverTO.
Just wait till monday and have a nice weekend.
Watch the european soccer tournament, go out with ur GF , have a walk outside, or whatever.
Then come back @Monday and be mad @Apple because no MBP was released at all.

That was my thought as well. Giving more of the revenue would be pretty monumental to introduce to a room full of developers. My hope is that they have shiny new toys to show off instead (please don't be watch bands).

@volcomvenom - Gotcha. They'll replace your computer spec by spec, but you can pay extra to update whatever you want (RAM, storage, etc)

Since we already offtop about it :) what will they likely offer in replacement for MBP 15" late 2011 2.2 GHz, 8 GB, iGPU+dGPU, 128 GB SSD after numerous repairs? On one side it has dGPU and it was not a minimum base model so it should be rMBP mid-2015 2.5 GHz, 16 GB, iGPU+dGPU, 512 GB SSD. On the other side this is comparatively substantially better specs than it is so they might offer base model 2.2 GHz, 16 GB, iGPU, 256 GB SSD.
 
What are the chances that, should there be no hardware announced at WWDC, Apple® will announce the new rMBPs etc. at a special event before August?
It seems very, very strange to me that they would announce MacOS 10.12 but not any new hardware to run it on - at least within cooee of its announcement...

I think that they will. We've had a chassis leak and there was the news of the new metal-injection molded hinges for a 13" (or maybe 14"!) MacBook having been delivered to Apple. I think that they will announce and release something, even if it's just a 13" model. A Q4 announcement just doesn't really fit because they have so much other stuff that needs updated, and I can't imagine Apple letting the MBP show up the iPhone, especially since that is rumored to be lackluster. Though, perhaps the new iPhone will be spectacular and they managed to fool us with all of these conflicting reports.
