To all you guys who keep checking/updating daily, do you really think there's something coming before Back to School ends? I highly doubt it.
I still think Apple is trying to clear out at least some of its stock through BtS. And while they're probably selling less (because everybody is waiting for new MBPs), why would they mind? Less headphones to give away for free.

I'm not expecting a release before the Sept event (will likely have a special Oct event to announce all new Macs), but come back to check if there's any new/better leaks of what's to come or the possibility of an announcement of when that special event will be.
I expect an October event, maybe a second September one, though I do feel this is less likely.
Announcements will be made one week in advance.
I keep checking macrumors (and 9to5mac) for rumors (we don't really have too many, and yet we have a surprisingly early leak), but some people here keep checking the actual Apple website. That's what surprised me.

LOL at this garbage article ... got me excited for a second before I realized they had no idea what they're talking about

Wow that sh*t is so made up. So we're getting 5k internal displays and 5k TBD, my eyeballs are ready to be amazed.
The way I read it, they thought "thunderbolt" is a brand name for an internal display made by Apple. There's no transition to the display section and no transition back to the MBP to suggest they think they're separate entities.
Edit: never mind, just saw the "works with any Mac" line. Really bad writing nonetheless.
Agreed I gave up and bought a laptop a few weeks ago and I Couldn't be happier. I have lots of Apple products but this wait was killing me since my 13" died a few months ago and I wanted 15 in with at least 4K; however, knowing Apple I doubt the update would have that. Apple always goes cheap on the updates now ever since tim cook took over and I really feel like they stalled on this update on purpose. I wouldn't be surprised if there already made but waiting for the 2015 stock to be cleared first before releasing.
Even the iPhone 7 looks bad, they didn't even give it an oled screen when it's now a standard on new phones. Since I have still have a nice 27in fully loaded iMac Ill still have access OSX whenever I need it, but based on the way Apple is handling their iPhone 7 upgrade this year I highly doubt the MacBook will get much of an upgrade outside of the rumored skylake processor, thunderbolt 3 and a gimiky oled strip.
For anyone else unwilling to wait or tired of waiting or wouldn't mind having a second computer to go with your new MacBook this was a pretty good deal, I got an open boxed on for it for $1200 a few weeks back and love it. There looks to be a few for $1300 which is still decent.
If the new MacBooks pro 15's were out I would have got that but I just couldn't justify buying an outdated 2015 model at a higher premium price than I paid for for something that's spec'd way better.

Exactly

With my luck, the fact that I just bought an iMac means that something new will come out soon and I'll be kicking myself...
I requested factory sealed package and I got it for 900 pounds which i consider a steal. I'm still not convinced that I got this deal and that there should be a catch but I don't have much to lose I guess since I can still return it.
"1 of: Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display, MJLQ2B/A, 15.4" Intel Core i7, 256GB Flash Storage, 16GB RAM (UK Model - UK Keyboard)
Sold by: Jolly Retail (UK)"
Polaris 10 debut http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/RX_480/25.html Very dissapointing performance/power consumption ratio (on pair with 2 years old gtx 970 on 28nm and this new radeon is on 14nm).
Ok, so once again (don't get angry): when could be the next big Apple event we could give our hopes?
September event, right after the closing of "Back to School" ?
Does anyone remember if there were situations in the past, where Apple introduced new products during the Back to School period?

September event is for iPhone. October for Mac and iPad.
September event is for whatever Apple wants it to be for.
Last year we had March / June / September events.
We've had March / June events this year so far. I'm not sure they'll do four in a year with two in the fall. But they could. Nobody knows. They have more products and software to talk about than ever.
It's almost July so we're that much closer to the fall. Stay strong.

The new AMD RX 480 seems like the perfect card (low TDP) for me to use with my new MBP 2016 as a eGPU
If Apple enables eGPU functionality...The new AMD RX 480 seems like the perfect card (low TDP) for me to use with my new MBP 2016 as a eGPU
Well I wouldn't use the eGPU on macOS, only for gaming on Windows so as long as that works or someone finds a workaround it will be fine for me.
