I always liked when SWSP did this to keep the SNR high in the dedicated threads, and live posting is always fun.

Today is a special event from Apple, "Let us Loop You In", the first of 2016! There shouldn't be too much surprising stuff here that hasn't already percolated through the rumor mill, but as always, they have a "one more thing" planned, so we'll see what it is.

And of course, posting rules are a little more relaxed for this particular thread (mostly for grammar/etc, other rules still apply)

We may learn about :
- new, smaller iPhone (for tiny presidential candidate sized hands)
- poo poo loads of software updates!
- possible iPad and iPad Pro upgrades
- New Watch?
- New Watch Bands!
- (I personally hope) Skylake rMBPs!

Apple link to the video feed: http://www.apple.com/apple-events/march-2016/ but the usual suspects (Engadget, etc.) will be live-blogging as well.

There is so much beautiful in the world if you look around. You are only looking at the dirt under your feet, Jimmy. It's not good for you.
Really, really desperately need a new laptop as this one has been confined to my desk because of a damaged charging port. I'm going to buy my first Macbook Pro and I'm really hoping for a Skylake MBP. Maybe if they beef up the MB enough that I'll consider running Photoshop etcetera on it I'll buy that, but that's way too much of a long shot for me to actually believe.

Anyhow, either I'm buying the current MBP tonight or ordering the new one as soon as it comes out, depending on if they release new ones.

The only thing stopping me from getting a replacement for my T430s at work is that a Skylake powered rMBP 13" 16GB/512GB SSD doesn't exist yet. :f5:

The complete lack of rumors that it'll be announced today has silently prepared me for the fact I'll probably be buying the current one though. Can't use this old thing for another three months, unfortunately.

Seems likely after 7 betas, which is the most in a long time I think.

It's been very stable for me since about beta 3.

Which is sad because the buyer's guide screams "don't buy!!!"

I may get a new iPad Air though.
