Either way, that video is trying to wow you with flash and colors (I'm looking at you jet black), not capabilities. It's all about the surface impression with Apple now. No substance.
IF they had an event for Mac planned for October, I'm pretty sure they would keep the Sierra release for the event. It's common sense.
In my opinion there are two options now:
1. Spec upgrade for some products in September along with Sierra release and June for previewing the new oled MacBook Pro's with some exclusive features in the new macOS
2. March for kaby lake 13" and MacBook and again June for 15"
XPS 13 kaby here we come. I'm done doing this again.
Thank you @JFante! Thank you. Somebody here gets me.
No new Macbook Pros for 2016. Mark my words.
We brought this on ourselves. We had a goal of 1000 pages and missed. So macs are put on hold till we reach 1000
The only flaw in your logic is that Apple is paying attention AT ALL to us folks who want a modern mac.
There's some of the classic pessimism I was expecting to see. But we've had several sources that have said October. Let's just say that if October comes and goes with no MBP, then I guess we can all wait until June 2017 for the KabyBooks...
The Michael Report deleted his article saying the MBPs would be unveiled today. What a chump.
The October event invitation in 2014 came on October 8th. https://www.macrumors.com/2014/10/08/apple-event-october-16/ Not too long now! Hopefully we'll get it in black.

Nope. If they gave even one **** ... they would have done a 'mid-term' update of storage, prices, clock speed bumps - SOMETHING in the past 16 months. Instead - nothing.
They will of course release a new MBP at some point, and some, like you - will cheer. But your cheers will soon die when you realize that ALL macs will get the same treatment as the current Mac Pro, one nice update ... then deathly silence for years.
Could there be another event this month, shortly after the Sierra release? Or maybe early October, at least I hope. It seems really strange to me that they haven't even talked about the Mac at all(the iPad didn't get any attention either).
To me it seems like Apple has gotten into too many product categories. They can't possibly have so many categories and still only have 3/4 events/year. I get that they're pushing the watch as much as possible, but all the time I was watching the event and they showed the press and other people that were invited, all I saw were MacBook Pros on their laps. It's clear to me that this machine, more than all Macs perhaps is what keeps all the other platforms going(through apps that are developed for iOS, watchOS and tvOS), yet Apple has completely neglected it for more than a year.
I don't even want anything groundbraking, a slightly newer design, new gen CPUs and GPUs and higher base storage capacity. If this is too much to ask for when I plan on spending around 2000$ on it, then I guess Apple really doesn't give a damn about the Mac and that's fine for now perhaps, but in a few years it's going to bite them in the ass harder than they could ever imagine!

....or at least a price drop. Selling a one and a half year ago product at the same price of the day-one is really absurd.
