I still hope new mbp won't have only usb C like in the old chassis leaked pics. I would regret all this months waiting.
Got a tip for us?

Nothing showed that those holes would only be of type usb-c (it's the same size... so how could you tell)
i think it was the thickness of the side that made it seem like it could only fit usb-c
They don't seem to be the same size, or did you mean the same shape, given the lack of scale? I'm not sure they're the exact same shape either (radius of curve)?

I'm really confused regarding the "Wide color gamut" thing. I mean rMBPs screens have sRGB of 95-98% if i'm not wrong. is that not considered "Wide color gamut" ?? is it a new future or what?
From the article I posted "the USB-C port is about the same height as the headphone jack". Looking at the chassis leaks again, the ports look suspiciously like they could be smaller than the headphone port.
I cannot believe they'd go for 4 lightning ports, but it makes me trust that leak less.
Edit: looking at the macbook online, I'm not sure that original link is correct, the usb-c hole does look smaller than the headphone jack, similar to the leaked chassis.
Does anyone have both and fancy measuring them?

They're basically using the P3 standard instead of the sRGB standard. P3 is used for movies, so this makes editors and others using the MBP for that sort of stuff real happy.
Thanks.. I also went and read more about the P3 and it's clear to me now what is it for. Clearly this should be on the new MBPs. I hope so..

USB C: The plug has dimension of 8.4 mm x 2.6 mm. Headphone jack is 3.5 mm, so it's a bit larger. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_Type-C)
What I was wondering about is the M coprocessor. It wasn't mentioned at all during the keynote, and has been sort of a big.LITTLE architecture thing. Maybe the M got upgraded to a dualcore, and got a few new tasks. Anandtech will sure tell us.
Ok, thanks. The plug and the chassis cut out are not necessarily the same though. On our iPad, the lightning cut out is about 3 mm, and the hole is in the vicinity of 2.6mm. Mr phloo might be on to something. Doesn't seem impossible that one port could be lightning.
Within margin of error on some bad photoshop comparison (NB comparing the cutout only for reference to the leaked chassis):

They might as well rename this website to watchbandrumors.com...
I was thinking more like "please tell us when your new iPhone is expected to arrive, we really need more threads on the topic"... dot... com...
Steve on courage. Simply amazing how relevant that is.
Could be another discussion if the MBP has all USB-C.
Yeah, I was expecting True Tone on the 7; but color gamut is more important to me as editing photos is one thing I want this stupid MBP for in the first place.
Not much in our way now. We're finally in the top 3.
I wasn't as rabid a Steve Jobs fan as some, but man - he spoke with clarity that sometimes seems rare today.
It's still there: http://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/ (now M10, but being that it wasn't mentioned it's likely to be a minor upgrade over the M9)
No, that's basically the minimum standard. There are wider (better) gamuts such as AdobeRGB.
XPS 13/15s are going to be refreshed w/ Kaby Lake by the end of September.
I can't believe people are actually still waiting, LOL.

Perhaps that's why they've left out True Tone. Editing photos and videos, content production in general would be hindered by True Tone, and so I believe they may not bring it over to other devices. People are taking photos on their iPhones, editing them and uploading them all within the same machine, and so perhaps they felt that having a True Tone display may "corrupt" the photos.
