I think he caved and bought a 2015 a few hundred pages ago.
Im fine waiting until October, but I hope they don't stagger the release date of the 15'' to a later date.
My 2008 MacBook Unibody is on it's last limb :-(
Macbook Pro 2016 to be release in 2017!
I don't know if it's worth crying or laughing
You know, I'm not entirely convinced that the MBP will have just USB-C.
Remember, Apple wouldn't even have put a port on the MB if it were possible. They had room for one port, so they chose the one that does it all. Ultra Portability means adjustments and compromises in regards to workflow. The MBP has room to support several ports so there's little reason to force that same compromise on its users.

Not related. I recently received an Apple TV as a gift and I hadn't realized it had an USB-C port on the back. Color me surprised the moment I saw that minuscule thing there. Pictures on internet make it look way larger than it actually is. It's comparable with a lightning connector, which shocked me to be honest, being my first time seeing one IRL. Looking back at the rMBP spy shots after seeing a physical USB-C port gave me some sense of perspective, the next rMBP is going to be thinner than I had previously imagined.

The crap on that website reaches new levels, it actually never stops surprising me. It's almost as if their articles were generated by an experimental A.I. All their stories look like machine generated garbage.
Stop being reasonable and raising my hopes for an actually useful computer and not a computer and a wad of adapters.
I think some/most of you will be disappointed in october and will just get the old model regretting not getting it earlier
On the other side, people who decide to get the updated model will be double disappointed with problems of the first run product
So... waiting for the second run of KabyLake macbooks lol

Agreed. It seemed like Apple wanted to make a statement about a wireless future more than anything.

Summary:
Apparently (would like to have a definite answer) Kabylake GT4e won't be manufactured, no CPU refresh (after Skylake this fall) for Macbook Pro 15" till 2018. Instead of Cannonlake, 15" will receive Coffee Lake which can have up to 6 Cores and a GT3e iGPU. First time since the Core era that the core count is being increased. Coffee Lake will be 14nm, whereas Cannonlake will be a 10nm part.

No Kabylake GT4e confirmed, no CPU refresh (after skylake this fall) for Macbook Pro 15" till 2018. Instead of Cannonlake, 15" will receive Coffee Lake which can have up to 6 Cores and a GT3e iGPU. First time since the Core era that the core count is being increased. Coffee Lake will be 14nm, whereas Cannonlake will be a 10nm part. Similarly for the 13, no CPU refresh till 2018, since those Cannonlake CPUs use GT2 iGPUs, instead will use Coffee Lake.
Not just the fact of the GT2, but also because the 13" uses 28W CPUs.
6 cores is certainly exciting, but I can't help but think that these will be 57W "extreme edition" CPUs like the Haswell extremes that would be in 2-3" Gaming laptops that use a GTX 980 for Notebooks. Intel didn't release extreme edition CPUs Broadwell or skylake, so I guess it's certainly possible we will see a 6-core 8970HQ with Iris Pro 780 graphics.

oh yeah, can't wait for the new macbook pro, my 2015 is so lame and out of date, SSD only writes a 1200 mb/s, should be 1200 petabytes /s, give me a gimmicky oled bar any day

Kaby Lake has a new GPU, maybe they decided to reduce SKU's, so GT4e may not exist anymore and GT3e is top of the line.
