Here's another silly Apple video because we all could benefit from a good laugh:

How decent are the iGPU MBPs? I really don't like how dGPU laptops noticeably fluctuate between active graphics cards, so I don't plan on buying the dGPU MBP (even though it means sacrificing some better performance).
Mind you, the video games I tend to play could probably be rendered on an iPhone, so I'm not entirely worried.

Calling it again: https://www.apple.com/au/iphone-7/
1. Scroll all the way to the bottom
2. Read footnote no. 2:
"The high-gloss finish of the jet black iPhone 7 is achieved through a precision nine-step anodisation and polishing process. Its surface is equally as hard as other anodised Apple products; however, its high shine may show fine micro-abrasions with use. If you are concerned about this, we suggest you use one of the many cases available to protect your iPhone."
People are people, I can bet some fool will expect the iPhone to retain that gloss finish even after a few times in a pocket with keys.
This thread was started on Oct 26, 2013, that's 1051 days to reach 961 pages, 0.91436726926 pages a day, or 1.09365244537 days per page so to hit 1000 pages we need 39 more pages which should take 42.65 days, 43 days from now is Monday, October 24, 2016 I think it's safe to say the release date is confirmed.
But there will be a ton of posts when invites come out, so, release date confirmed for even sooner

I hope whoever gets the first post on the 1000th page gets special recognition by macrumors staff
it took a lot of courage to stay with this thread and not buy a competing laptop.
I'm starting to get into the idea of having no dGPU but rather an eGPU for docking. Like the Razor Stealth, but with a better processor. One major advantage would be being able to upgrade the graphics in a few years. Aside from that I'm not sure what the pro's are. Maybe better battery life on the road? But I guess if you want you can limit to iGPU only with gfxCardStatus, but I never have.
Honestly, no one cares. I mean that in the most hyperbolic sense, of course, but really, it's a small fraction of Apple's sales and the hype around its products. The general public don't really get excited for Macs and subsequently no one is willing to risk their job for such a minimal payoff, if there's even a payoff at that stage. Remember, there's an incentive to leak iPhone rumors to case manufacturers and others in related industries; that's not counting the incentive from media and whatnot.
Unfortunately it is far from linear. The first year hardly anything happened, and also the second year not much happened. I.e. the last year we created ~900 pages. So we are more like 2.5-3 pages per day:
Plot twist, they're gonna manufacture it in Texas so the obstacles for leaks are higher. I really hope to wake up one day (in the next weeks), to check tech news and see, that Apple just released them via press announcement.
I'm wondering how you get this chart? is there an option somewhere on the page that i haven't seen or are you using some kind of script to count and plot the curve?
I love that this thread was almost dormant for 2 years and then has become this monster. Excellent thread analysis Mr SHuisman.

You mean iPhoneWatchBandsNewAppleStoresomewhereandsometimesPokemonGORumors?
Exactly, you know that there will be leaked a band way to big for the
watch, and when it comes we know what will happen. MacWatch!!!
Off-topic: I use a simple Mathematica script that boils down to:
ClearAll[GiveMeLink,GiveDate]
GiveMeLink[n_Integer]:="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/waiting-for-skylake-mbp-thread.1661246/page-"<>ToString[n]

This will generate the url for the nth-page, download it as XML, find the first post, look for the date of post string, and then convert those to something we can plot. You have to execute GiveData for integers going from 1 to 961, then plot it using DateListPlot.
with a few more lines it is parallelised and partial results stored et cetera...
At the current rate we will hit a 1000 pages around October 1st, if more rumours show up we will hit it before October.
Ha, pretty mad.
Kind of wondering why you brought up a post from a year ago though, haha.
