I agree if they just lunch the same rMBP but with up-to-date processor, graphics, and 1 additional port for USB c I will be the first in line.
Whatever it is at this stage I want one now!
Got a tip for us?

Apple would be in trouble if windows makers would release a laptop with a better touchpad. Linux is already available natively on Windows 10. The only real advantage left for the macs are usuability, which it turns out, is everything!
I think the Mac is a much better computer, the overall experience is much better. i have used Mac for the last 4 years (since I brought my first MacBook Pro in 2011) and I find it less annoying/frustrating. Just my opinion.
Rightly said. I too felt that if this thing is in mass production, indicated by this leaked image - which seems authentic enough, it should be coming out within 1 or 2 months (which puts us at July or August). But Mark Gurman came along and said no hardware this WWDC...so maybe a special Apple event in late summer for the Mac lineup. Sept/Oct seem too far.
For the last couple of years, they have held a March event, WWDC and then the September event. They use to hold WWDC, September event and then the October event, the September event for iPhones and the October was always for iPad's and Mac's. So unless Apple are planning on holding 4 events, I suspect we may either see the MacBook Pro's at WWDC or the iPhone event in September.
I wonder if Apple is going to start to mix up the announcement events (not WWDC) a bit, especially if they transition to a longer iPhone update cycle.
What are the odds we get a 1.5 or 2 TB SSD option.
I don't like splitting my iTunes library across HDDS. My 512GB SSD is full and I anticipate outgrowing 1TB.
My 541GB music library would like an answer to that too.
I don't think they are transitioning to a longer update cycle. The reason the iPhone 7 is rumoured to keep the same design is because Apple will want to do something for the iPhones 10th anniversary next year. Maybe we will see a big event in September where they announce iPhone 7 and new Mac's, this is something they have never done before (as far as I'm aware.) OR the rumours could be wrong and we could see the MacBook Pro at WWDC next week. I guess this time next week we will know for sure.
WWDC 2016 Announcement: Transition to Apple A10 chip for all Macs.
(Sadly, considering Apple's past philosophy and situation back in 2005, it's long overdue they are doing this transition. It's no secret that Apple is currently unsatisfied with the (non-)progress intel is doing with their CPUs and moreover their GPUs.)

They are right. Apple will rename all their Mac products. The MBP will be called iLap Pro.
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

It'll be a long time before Apple can match the performance of Intel chips. They maybe able to power their ultra-portable laptops with something in-house, but nothing in the Pro series for a long, long time.
With regards to GPUs, the new Iris Pros are a major feat of engineering. They're better than dGPUs such as the GTX 750.
Take a look at this chart: http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/...ke-Gen9-Graphics-Architecture_Advancement.jpg and you'll see the amazing progress that Intel has made.
We really do need a strong competitor to Intel, but AMD is the closest and Intel has them soundly beat for the next couple years.

It depends on what you mean by "significance," but they released a third-gen rMBP on July 29, 2014.
I can't see them releasing a new Mac that is more than just a speed bump without an event, though. Maybe they will pull a iPad Pro and announce that they will be shipping a month or two later.
That would be interesting. Though I suspect a few years from now perhaps. The 12" MacBook would make sense to be the first to go A-Series and they just updated that a couple months ago.WWDC 2016 Announcement: Transition to Apple A10 chip for all Macs.

A long time? From what I've heard, the performance of the A9X overtakes that of the Intel Core m chips from last year.
Me, I'd be open to ARM powered Macs. They are growing at a faster rate, and they are much more power efficient.
I'm not trying to flame or start a debate, but for those that think the A9X competes with Intel - read this article by Engadget: http://www.engadget.com/2015/11/14/ipad-pro-a9x-chip/
It helps put things into perspective.

It beat them running in an iPad running iOS while the low end Intel chips were in a Mac runnig OS X.
In unrelated news if you put a corvette engine in a semi it will be beat by a bike with a motorcycle engine.
Please. I'm getting really tired of car analogies.
But that's not what it's about. It's about what they're capable of. Sure, at the core iOS is easier to power than OS X, but they're cabableof about the same. Apple just don't take advantage of it with the iPad Pro.
Might get to see it this month

I could live with that
there are so many different rumours at the moment Rene from iMore along with Ming-Chi-Kuo and 9to5 Mac have said no hardware at WWDC, but this report contradicts that, so I suppose it's who you believe Same. I will have had my mid 2012 rMBP for 4 years in July and it still runs fine. Never had any of the issues people were reporting when they first came out.
Five years worth of "thumbs ups" if this holds true.I could live with that
Tbh Apple has a winning design on their hands for the rMBP. All they had to do was decrease the screen bezels, and up the resolution. Replace all USB A/TB2 with TB3, and keep the other ports (although nixing HDMI is fine by me). Update to Skylake processors. And change that horrid keyboard typography to San Francisco, and individual lit key caps would be nice too. Make it thinner (not by decreasing the chassis, however by thinning the bottom bulge). Touch ID biometrics could be a nice feature as well if done right.
That's it. That's all you had to do. And you should do it by WWDC. But no, you're going to "innovate". I'm still going to keep an open mind for that OLED Touchbar.

I wouldn't give up just yet, a couple of reports yesterday said that Apple may still announce the MacBook Pro's at WWDC, along with updated MacBook Air's.
Regardless an A series Mac would run like garbage and the point is that Intel chips are still obviously much more powerful. That was the whole point of the car analogie…
