I think they keep the rMBP's shape, but offer it in gold, rosegold spacegray etc with slightly upgraded specs. Also adding force touch and maybe a rounded edges like the iPhone has. Oh and USB type C and maayyybe they'll get rid of the audio jack here as well, I'm being serious here. Maybe they add a little display somewhere (touchpad) that works like the Watch, with this drawing feature.
Don't get too excited over this. They will add a lot of software tough, integrating it more with iOS and their other hardware stuff and iTunes/Health etc.
Hardware-wise it'll be the standard i7 CPU's with an exorbitantly expensive but shitty GPU upgrade. If we're lucky we get a form of optional external GPU, maybe within the display. But I doubt it. Maybe they ditch the CPU thing completely and just offer the APU.
hear my words.

^^^ You're probably right, unfortunately. Personally, I only care about the CPU/GPU specs. Memory and hard drive upgrades will be an iDildo right in the old iAss, just like always. Don't care about ports or charging.

So what's the go with the phone...will they release an iPhone 7S in 2017 or do they go to an iPhone X for the 10 year anniversary next year?
Coming out of contract in a month and don't think I'll bother upgrading to the 7.
- does it really matter what it's called?monospaced
- yea, duh. how do you expect to impress people at parties??? with your personality??? :Dsofakingback
- used the 6 plus and the 7 plus and there is absolutely no difference, I think you're safe with buying the 6.mekk
- I have the 6. Want to know if the 7plus will be a bump. iPhone X meant to be new design apparently.BusterBoy

We had ordered a couple of Mac Pros about 3 weeks ago and they haven't come in yet.
I spoke about the delay with our IT guy and just got off the phone with our rep and they're saying the order is stalled, wink wink, as in he thinks there's new hardware on the way and we'll have to update our specs.
Or he's just got a convenient excuse to cover his because he can deliver the goods.
- Wasn't that a bit silly ordering when it's pretty much common knowledge they are about to release new machines?fadein11
- p.s. a little bit of s sore subject for me as I got a new Macbook Pro around 8 months ago... love it - but in reality it's now about 2.5 years out of date.fadein11
- Sounds like they are all just covering your stupidity ;-)HAYZ1LLLA
- There was nothing for sure 3 weeks ago, and I was SHOCKED to see the paperwork approved as fast as it did. I thought we were getting them for January =)zarkonite
- and this is Mac Pros, not Macbooks.zarkonite
- fucking waste. if you want power, build a pc dude. macs fucking suck for anything that requires heavy lifting, hence why no movies or games are made on themCygnusZero4
- why do you think not even oculus supports macs? theyre shit for anything serious. http://www.theverge.…CygnusZero4
- Macs suck in the GPU area, which is the one holdup for Oculus.monospaced
- Mac Pro is what, 3 years old? I wouldn't get one...ernexbcn

Anyone else really dislike the whole force touch thing on newer iPhones? I find it is too sensitive, or too reliant on carefully applied pressure to work as well as pre-force touch phones did. For example, selecting specific sections of text by dragging the beginning/end marker, or just doing a single quick tap to place the cursor within a section of text that you need to add a space, or delete something.

- if it's real, I think it's quite cool - certainly, a small dynamic feedback interface would be.. my concern is how it would evolve, staying backwards compatibledetritus
- meh, why not********
- Looks cool but I have to use it before I say anything else. Seems to be a 13 inch laptop in the picture, are those new or did the 13' had those speakers?Maaku

- I'm too old for this shit.ideaist
- will it have essential ports for us to connect to things? will it be considerably faster?

- If I can get used to not feeling the esc key, I'm down with the toolbar. It's the only key in the function row that I use a lot.section_014
- I use esc too much for it to just become a non-key. Maybe I'm also too old for this shit.monospaced
- Most keys I use in that row are the volume ones.Continuity
- I use most of them regularly, except for the keyboard brightness keys. Media keys work with spotify, and the others are good for swapping workspaces & windows.monospaced

- if it's customisable it's going to be great. otherwise it will be frustrating. also i wonder how long until all other laptops copy this...inteliboy

- meh, especially since my MBP is connected to the TB display 90% of the dayfourth
- What problem does it solve?robthelad
- @rob: it solves the marketing department's apple pay request********
- i reckon it solves the problem that i never use the function keys except Apples actual play/pause/volume buttons.inteliboy
- be nice to have app shortcut icons up there depending on what app you're ininteliboy
- Exactly inteliboy, the F keys are horribly underutilised by most peopledetritus

That bar looks stupid, hope they prove me wrong but I'm not feeling it, good thing I don't use laptops...
- ernexbcn0
I'm reading these new laptops will have just 1 USB-C port, which will be used to charge it as well (bye magsafe).
- prepare your wallets to buy hubs and accessories!ernexbcn
- ugh********
- I bet there are more than that ... it's got to differentiate from the Air in that area.monospaced
- The MacBook Pro, at least, has to have more than 1 port. Or else, it shouldn't be labeled Pro.monospaced

"Apple has dozens of software engineers in Canada building a car operating system, a rare move for a company that often houses research and development projects close to its Cupertino, California headquarters, according to people familiar with the matter.
Many of the engineers working in Canada were hired over the past year and about two dozen came from BlackBerry Ltd.’s QNX, a leading automotive software provider, the people said. "

APPLE'S ANNUAL SALES FALL FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2001
Apple's 15-year streak is officially over.
Apple (AAPL, Tech30) just posted its first annual sales decline since 2001, the year it launched the iPod and kicked off a tremendous run of groundbreaking products.
- Nathan_Adams1
This graph explains a lot:
Insane growth in China during 2015, followed by it completely dropping out in 2016. Taking that out of the equation, Apple's growth has been sitting relatively steady for 2 years - drifting bit over and under.
- Apple must always grow and innovate and grow grow grow baby! $$$$ Anything else = doomed.inteliboy
- well right now they are worth than zero growth.pango
- You must remember they just set world records for revenue and growth. It's hard for any company to meet or exceed what Apple has done in earnings.monospaced
