Well I live in the area--who wants to join me on a heist?
I'll drop them from a helicopter to the awaiting crowds--Skylakes for all!
Do any of you expect some kind of hint in the Q3 earnings report today?
or will we just see a fall in overall sales?

I hope they have extremely low MacBook sales, make Apple suffer for what they've done.
On a more serious note, i do expect a drop in sales, maybe a hint indeed, we'll know shortly.
If they have a drop in sales, they most likely expected it. I doubt Apple is caught off guard much by their financial results.I hope they have extremely low MacBook sales, make Apple suffer for what they've done.

I believe you meant "the three prototypes".
Confirmed?!
He also said this:
Cook: Our survey shows that half of iPad Pro purchasers are buying them for work. Ultimate upgrade for existing iPad users. Ultimate replacement device for customers switching from PCs.
He still somehow thinks an iPad is the 'ultimate replacement for a pc'. Delusional.
Why can't someone ask during the Q&A "Hey Tim what about our damn MacBook Pro's man?"
The UBS guy just tried but he got shut down.
+1. They're already asking the same about iPhone.

It's not the answer I want, it's the publicity for such a question.
Something he doesn't mention is the audience for this which are basically artists that don't want to have their real work devices (wacom) in their backpack .
it doesn't matter if it's IOS or Android I have yet to see either platform giving me the same productivity I can get out of my desktop or notebook...in short they can't and will never be able to do so.
when it comes to Kaby Lake this thing has a lot of stupid crap snakes into it for example it will not! work with a non Windows 10 version (FU for that ), with that feature already on board it might at some point also not work without an updated version.
I really don't care that much about the name of the CPU what I need is a powerful , reliable laptop with top notch service within reach and that's exactly why I want a MBP. Also if the new one sucks I'll just buy last year's version for a much cheaper price tag
If you're talking about all this "Kaby Lake won't support Windows 7" you should know that it's quite different: Windows 7 will work on Kaby Lake as on pretty much any foreseeable future x86 CPU, it will just not have most of the new features implemented like new power saving modes, new hardware decoders etc in Kaby Lake.
Ah thanks for your clarification very appreciated
Most of the new features are useless in a desktop anyways and I don't envision myself moving from Windows 7 to 10 as long as the updates are forced the UI still isn't customizable and MS tries lure people into an ms account ... msstyles is just awesome.
I sold my mid 2010 last month. I'm eager to get some more details to decide between 13 inch and 15 inch screen. There is a lot of cool used ones at Amazon.
That makes him sound like a politician.
Personally find the 'PC replacement' talk quite disgusting.
My sister had a Sony Vaio. She bought an iPad. She never touches her Sony Vaio anymore.
Anecdotal but, he's not really wrong. It's obviously not for all users, but for a lot of users, an iPad suits most of their needs.
"We faced a very difficult quarter with Macs compared to the year-ago quarter, when we launched a new MacBook Pro and iMac."
If you don't launch new products, you won't get more sales. Simple as that. The time when Apple products would sell just because of the Apple logo is vanishing. If Apple wants to keep sales up and maintain their customer loyalty, they need to inject some innovation in their product line.
Waiting this long to release a new Macbook Pro is one of the dumbest decisions Apple has made in the Tim Cook era. They're missing the back to school rush, they're coming very late to the Skylake party (Kabylake is almost ready at this point) and they have nothing current to compete with the Windows laptops in the same class.
At this point, the only thing keeping me from jumping ship to a Razer laptop is that as an iOS developer, I have to use OS X to test and submit apps, Thats it! Even though I'm not a big fan of Windows, I would love to be able to use the various programs that are exclusive to Windows, play games that are exclusive to windows and pay a lower price for better specs than what I would be paying for a new MBP.
Between this and the rumored iPhone 7 which is really just an iPhone 6SS, Apple is making it very hard to not give my money to the competition.

And if the Vaio dies, will she continue to live off the iPad only? Chances are she'd still look to purchase a new PC. As wishful as it maybe for Cook and Co, the iPad is NOT a PC replacement. It's no more a PC replacement as a bicycle is a car replacement.
Apple will release Skylake in September and Dell + Asus will release Kaby Lake...
We are users devoted to Apple ecosystem, do you like been trapped in it ?!?
No we do know, and we know, 99.0% of operations should work without crashing for 99.0% of us.
Go use Windows, for god sakes please go use Windows, or Linux. I want my OS tested for 6 months on Skylake with a computer designed by the people who created all of the hardware, (or most of it). And I want things synergistic and integrated together. Not just 10 pieces slapped together real quick and shot out of a cannon. I want an additional 3 hours battery life, and Safari with it speed and power saving features that you can't get on any other OS... and further more... (I could go on for freaking weeks, WEEKS
).But by all mean freaking use Windows. And I am jerk about this now days, because to me it's a simple victory over any FOOL who wants to use Windows or even Linux. While you suffer senselessly for the next 2-3 or even 5 years, but I doubt any Windows usage could go that long. I will be in heaven with my Superb Laptop, that will end up having 1 or 2 things wrong with it or flaws that will drive me crazy. But I will be able to live with those 1-2 things, while you save $500 and freaking SUFFER IN TORTURE AND AGONY in Windows with 10 things wrong, then when backing up becomes such a bitch, and then you have to re-install and sit for hours re-installing for days! I can just slap an external drive on or a new SSD and Carbon Copy for 8 hours and I am right where I left off.
Stop and go use windows while I sip the Apple Koolaid...till the day I die. There isn't a choice anymore silly, it's like we're on a spaceship... damn!
Laters...
